No, a hollow sphere can hold a larger electric charge compared to a solid sphere of the same diameter because the charge resides on the outer surface in both cases. In a hollow sphere, the charge distributes uniformly on the outer surface, allowing it to hold more charge without experiencing as much repulsion between like charges as a solid sphere.

What are two factors that effect the strength of an electric field?

The strength of an electric field is influenced by two factors: the magnitude of the charge creating the field, and the distance from the charge at which the field is being measured. The larger the charge and the closer the distance, the stronger the electric field will be.


Do objects with large amounts of charge have bigger electric fields than objects with small amounts of charges?

Yes, objects with larger amounts of charge generally have stronger electric fields than objects with smaller amounts of charge. The strength of an electric field is directly proportional to the amount of charge that produces it.


What is an electric arc diameter as function of the current?

The electric arc diameter is directly proportional to the square root of the current passing through it. This relationship is described by the formula D = k√I, where D is the arc diameter, I is the current, and k is a constant factor. Increasing the current will result in a larger arc diameter, while decreasing the current will lead to a smaller arc diameter.


What is meant by strength of current?

Strength of current refers to the amount of electric charge flowing through a circuit per unit of time. It is measured in amperes (A) and represents the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit. A higher current strength indicates a larger flow of charge through the circuit.


How does the size of the sun compare to the size of the moon?

The sun is much larger than the moon. The sun's diameter is about 400 times larger than the moon's diameter.

How mechanically a spherical condenser can be formed?

An electric charge cannot be carried in the interior of a hollow container. Due to mutual repulsion, the charges will migrate to the larger external surface.


Will asolid metal sphere hold a larger electric charge than a hollow sphere of the same diameter where does the charge reside in esch case?

The charge all resides on the surface of the sphere, whether or not there's anything inside the surface. In principle, there's no limit on the amount of charge that can be jammed onto the sphere. The only limit is a practical one, that is, how much charge you can move and transfer to the sphere before it starts arcing back to the machinery or the support that's holding it.


Are electrons the same as electric charge?

No. An electric charge is a property of certain particles (and larger amounts of matter); electrons have an electric charge of (-1) elementary units, but other particles also have electric charge. For example, protons have an electric charge of (-1), quarks may have charges like (2/3) and (-1/3), etc.


What is stronger a round steel pipe or a steel hollow square bar?

By stronger, we need to define the loading conditions of the rod or pipe. The strength of a rod or pipe is typically evaluated with axial, transverse (bending), and torsion loads. With the same diameter and the same material, a solid rod is stronger than a hollow pipe. However, with the same weight and material, the hollow pipe is stronger than a solid rod. Because a hollow pipe is lighter than a solid rod at the same diameter, the hollow pipe would have a larger diameter in order to match weights with the solid rod and a larger diameter rod or pipe is stronger than a smaller diameter one.

What is the average mileage per charge of an electric vehicle?

On average an electric vehicle will get about 200 or so miles per charge. Some of the smaller more effecient ones can get a lot more but some larger ones can get a lot less.


What are the main differences between an electric guitar and a classical guitar?

The main differences between an electric guitar and a classical guitar are the sound production method and the design. Electric guitars use pickups to convert string vibrations into electrical signals, while classical guitars rely on the resonance of the hollow body for sound. Electric guitars have a sleeker, often solid-body design, while classical guitars have a larger, hollow-bodied design with nylon strings.
