Does lighting hit something everytime it strikes?
Lightning does not hit something every time it strikes. There are various forms of lightning. Lightning that is classified as "cloud to ground" lightning will strike something in it's path. Another form of lightning is sheet lightning. This type of lighting illuminates the sky and spreads from cloud to cloud.
How is charge by induction similar from charge by conduction?
Both conduction and induction involve a movement of electrons. Conduction is the transfer of electrons from a charged object to another object by direct contact. Induction does not involve direct contact. Instead, induction is the movement of electrons from one part of an object to another as a result of the electric field of the second object.
What are some things that is caused by static electricity?
Static electricity is when there is either an excess (negative) or lack of (positive) electrons. If electrons are transferred onto another surface, for example by rubbing them together, a positive charge is formed, but if electrons are gained, a negative charge is formed.

What is the process of charging a conductor by bringing it near another charged object and then grounding the conductor called?
Induction
The process imparting a charge to another object?
The process of imparting a charge to another object is known as charging. This can be done through contact (conduction), induction, or friction. When a charged object is brought near another object, it can induce a charge on the second object without direct contact.
What are the three methods of charging objects?
Friction Induction Conduction
What is charge by induction?
Charging by Induction is a method of charging a neutral object, using a charged object, without establishing physical contact between them. _______________________________________________________________________ When a charged object induces a charge on another object without touching it.
What is the method of charging an object by means of the electric field of another object?
The method of charging an object by means of the electric field of another object is called charging by induction. This involves bringing a charged object close to a neutral object, causing the charges in the neutral object to separate, creating a temporary charge imbalance.
When is lightning most likely to happen?
lightning mostly happens when there are a lot of clouds in the sky because lightning is the result when ice particles with negative charge is rubbed with another ice particle but with positive charge.
Three methods to charge an object?
Charging by friction - this is useful for charging insulators. If you rub one material with another (say, a plastic ruler with a piece of paper towel), electrons have a tendency to be transferred from one material to the other. For example, rubbing glass with silk or saran wrap generally leaves the glass with a positive charge; rubbing PVC rod with fur generally gives the rod a negative charge. Charging by conduction - useful for charging metals and other conductors. If a charged object touches a conductor, some charge will be transferred between the object and the conductor, charging the conductor with the same sign as the charge on the object. Charging by induction - also useful for charging metals and other conductors. Again, a charged object is used, but this time it is only brought close to the conductor, and does not touch it. If the conductor is connected to ground (ground is basically anything neutral that can give up electrons to, or take electrons from, an object), electrons will either flow on to it or away from it. When the ground connection is removed , the conductor will have a charge opposite in sign to that of the charged object.
What are the two ways to transfer electrical charges?
Friction - charging something by rubbing it against another object Induction - charging something by coming close to charged object, but not touching Conduction - charging something by touching a charged object
When a metal ball is charged by induction using a negatively charged plastic rod what is the sign on the charge acquired by the ball?
There exists and answer to this problem if you state the following: After the ball has been in presence of the negatively charged rod, the metal ball is either grounded or discharged by another conductor leaving the original metal ball with a positive charge, hence the name charging by induction.
3 methods of charging an object?
Friction: Rubbing two objects together can transfer electrons, resulting in one object becoming positively charged and the other negatively charged. Conduction: Direct contact with a charged object can transfer charge to another object, bringing it to the same charge. Induction: Bringing a charged object near another object can cause electrons to be rearranged, creating an opposite charge on the objects.
Can electrons move from one object to another when rubbed together?
Yes, when two objects are rubbed together, electrons can move from one object to the other. This is known as triboelectric charging, where one object becomes positively charged (losing electrons) and the other becomes negatively charged (gaining electrons).
Can objects be charged by induction?
I'm really not sure, however I know that when charging by induction, the electrons repel during induction, due to grounding an object. The charge that an object has when it is charged by induction varies depending on the amount of electrons taken away. When an object is charged by induction, the object has the opposite charge of the object inducing the charge.
