What is charging by convection?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, charging by convection is when you charge something by moving it through a fluid, like air or water, to transfer charge. It's kind of like passing the electricity baton in a relay race, but with particles instead of runners. So, yeah, that's how you charge stuff by convection.

Answer 2

Charging by convection is a method of charging an object by moving it through a region with an electric field. As the charged object moves through the field, charges are transferred from the field to the object, causing it to become charged. This process relies on the movement of charged particles within the electric field to induce a charge on the object.

Answer 3

Convection Charging, if I remember correctly, occurs when you have 3 objects. Two of these objects are placed on either side of the third (which is a neutral Insulator [yes, insulator is key to convection charging]) and these two are charged with opposite polarities. This causes the third, middle object's electrons to be attracted to to either side of the object; the negative charges towards the positively charged object, and the positive charges towards the negatively charged object. This results in the third, middle object having sides oppositely polarized, much like the idea of a magnet (yet not, because they are very different in every other way). Since the third object is an insulator, it holds its new charge "separation" for much longer than a conductor or semiconductor, long enough even to cut in half and have two oppositely polarized pieces of that insulator.

Answer 4

Charging an object by conduction is charging it by allowing it to come into contact with an object which already has an electric charge.
