What effect does grounding have on a charged object?
To ground an object means to connect it through a conductor to the ground, or Earth. Grounding is a way to prevent an electric charge from building on an object, or to get rid of an electric charge.
HOW DO YOU DISCHARGE ELECTRICITY?
If you touch the charged item to the ground, the charge will go into the ground. This is because static electricity is caused by either having too many or not enough elecrons. When toughed to the ground, the item will either get rid of the electrons or pick more up, making it neutral.
How ac current pass through capacitor?
Alternating charged current arrives at one terminal on the cap. The load to ground is connected at the other terminal of the cap. Actually 'alternating' can be a confusing electrical term to some folks. Think of the charged current as a wave that delivers this positive current from the bottom to the top of the wave and retreats or falls off at the bottom of the other side of the wave. This condition is caused from the rotating action of the rotor turning inside the stator fields in a generator. The ground through the load is attracted to the positively charged electrons at the barrier of the cap at the top of the wave from the generator. Now. Think charge separation on the ground side. As the electrons become excited on the ground side of the cap at the barrier across from the positive charge (attraction), a vacancy of non-charged electrons has occurred downstream at ground. When the positive charge and current falls at the bottom of the wave from the generator side, the excited electrons at the barrier of the cap on the ground side are now positive (charge separation) and move to power the load and fill the vacancy to ground. This is also the reason for the delay of current and charge moving through a cap to ground. A larger barrier equals a longer delay (faud rating). Nothing but magnetic field attraction between electrons has happened at the cap barrier. This is why a DC current cannot move through a cap. It has no wave. If we pulse the DC, we can get it to move through the cap, but at a lower efficiency than AC. calllowayengines dot com
You can pick up static electricity by walking on a wool rug in leather-soled shoes Explain why you are then negatively charged and what happens when you grab for a metal object such as a doorknob?
When the leather soles rub against the wool, electrons are transferred to the shoes. These free electrons travel along the body and when the skin contacts a metal object, the electrons ground out, causing a shock.
How many electrons is in the 4d subshell in the ground state of the atom xenon?
10 electrons.
Does grounding have an effect on charged objects?
Grounding is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size. When a charged object is grounded, the excess charge is balanced by the transfer of electrons between the charged object and a ground. A ground is simply an object which serves as a seemingly infinite reservoir of electrons; the ground is capable of transferring electrons to or receiving electrons from a charged object in order to neutralize that object.
Why is ground possitively charged?
because oppisites attract. The power from the plants below the cloud pull the - charges down and the + charges goes up and that also causes lighting wow im 12 and i know this

How are Subatomic Particles involved in Lightning?
Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles. When you have a cloud that at the top of it is most negativity charged and the bottom is positively charged and it rolls over a point in the ground that is negatively charged this causes lightening and actually lightening goes from the ground up to the clouds not from the clouds to the ground as believed - the lightning is composed of a stream of electrons
The difference between a positive and a negative charged atom?
First, if it is charged it is called an 'ion' and if it is positively charged it has lost one or more electrons from its outer parts and if it is negatively charged it has captured one or more electrons into its outer parts - as compared with its ground state which is when it has the same number of negative electrons in its outer parts as there are positively charged protons in its center and is therefore electrically neutral. all atoms are neutral, they have the same number of negatively charged electrons as they have positively charged protons (which is equal to the atomic number of that atom). metals can lose all of their valence electrons to get a complete outer orbital electron configuration, to form positively charged cations (+1, +2, and +3). They lose negatively charged electrons so they end up positive. ions are not atoms, they are atoms that have lost electrons or non-metals can gain electrons to fill their valence orbitals (becoming -1, -2, or -3). these nonmetals with extra electrons are anions, but anions are not atoms, they are atoms with extra electrons.
How does electricity produce lightning?
The clouds are charged with a negative pole which has sub - atomic particles called electrons. And the ground is charged with a positive pole. If you think in the Earth as a giant magnet, the positive charge from the ground starts to attract the negative charged from the clouds. The energy is released in seconds and when it is too strong you can see a lighting in the sky coming down to the ground.
What is ground movement?
brunnett beauty: What is ground movement? I believe ground movement is the plates moving in the earth just like how earthquakes form by plates in the ground colide to make movement in the earth.
How can a charged cloud be neutralised?
Charged clouds means there's static electricity, which means lightening. So the electrons flow to the ground through the air in the form of lightening, when it strikes the ground, the charge is distributed, but because the earth is so vast, the charge is spread out so much it's ineffective and it is said to be grounded..
During the movement of electrons from ground state to higher state level is there any possibility of electrons get attracted to protons?
Electrons are always attracted to protons, no matter what state they are in. They may move closer or further away from the nucleus depending on what state they are in, but they are always attracted.
Can electrons lose energy at ground state explain?
No. At ground state, the electrons are at their lowest energy.

What would happen if you took out electrons from a fishtank?
The tank would become positively charged. This means that is you dipped a wire in the fish tank and attached it to the ground, you would get a DC current as electrons move from the neutral (more negative, electron-rich) ground to the positive (more positive, electron-poor) fish tank.
