Electrostatics

I could not find anything to support or deny that static electricity is used in finger printing. The best way one might be able to find this answer would seemingly be to ask a professor of law or science at a college.

In order to identify the charge of a body we should use a charged electroscope. Let us say the electroscope is negatively charged.

Now bring the unknown charged body 'X' near the cap of the electroscope.

If the leaves diverge more the charge in 'X' must be negative. Suppose that the leaves close a little when 'X' is brought near 'C', then 'X' may have a positive charge or it may not have any charge.

In order to confirm the positive charge you must bring the rod 'X' near the cap of a positively charged electroscope.

If the leaves diverge more, then 'X' has positive charge.

It cant run electrical things with it, you kind of dont expect it to happen it just happens. Thier is nothing you can really do. Once friction builds up it can create a positive charge or a negative charge , so when the friction is built up it can shock you at any time. There isnt really a time you can say,it just happens at any time when the friction builds up and its ready to discharge.

Electrostatics is the study of stationary electric charges and the forces between them, while electromagnetism deals with the interaction between electric currents or moving charges and magnetic fields. Both fields are fundamental to understanding how electricity and magnetism work in our universe.

Window clings stick to glass surfaces due to static electricity. The material of the clings creates a slight charge imbalance with the glass, causing them to adhere without the need for any adhesive.

Rubbing a perspex rod against a piece of paper will likely transfer some electrons from the perspex to the paper, causing the perspex rod to become positively charged and the paper to become negatively charged. This can create an electrostatic attraction between the rod and the paper.

To take the path of least resistance means to choose the easiest or most straightforward way to accomplish something, avoiding obstacles or challenges. It implies making decisions that require minimal effort or confrontation.

Sound energy is produced when the water inside the kettle is heated because the boiling water releases water molecules that collide with each other, creating vibrations in the air that we hear as sound. This sound energy is considered wasted because it does not contribute to the main purpose of the kettle, which is to heat the water.

Static electricity uses positive and negative charges contained within a non-conductive material to attract or repel another object with off balanced charges.

Magnetism uses the polarity of atoms to attract or repel another object that can potentially be a magnet.

Static electricity is a non-contact force because it can exert a force on other objects without physically touching them. This force occurs due to the imbalance of electric charges on the surface of objects.

When an iron rod is rubbed with silk, electrons move from the silk to the iron rod, resulting in the iron rod becoming negatively charged and the silk becoming positively charged. This creates static electricity on both the iron rod and the silk.

Yes, rubbing a glass rod with a wool cloth can create static electricity by transferring electrons between the two materials. This process causes the glass to become positively charged and the wool to become negatively charged, resulting in static electricity buildup.

make pieces of paper then take a plastic scale

and rub it on your hair and then take it near

the pieces, observe

ans : the pieces of cloth flies in the and sticks to

the scale

this is called STATIC ELECTRIC FORCE

if you are using magnets, they stick together.

-- Relatively 'loose' electrons are scraped off of one object and collected on the other one.

-- In terms of the charge 'budget', the action leaves one object positively charged ...

having less electrons than it should have ... and the other object negatively charged ...

having more electrons than it should have.

-- Now you have two oppositely charged objects.

-- There's a physical force between them,

-- there's a potential difference (voltage) between them, and

-- there's an electrostatic field between them.

-- If either of them gets near enough to a 'neutral' object, it's going to balance its

charge budget, either by sucking electrons from the neutral object in order to fill

the deficit, or by dumping electrons onto the neutral object in order to relieve its

surplus.

By definition, velocity is a rate of movement combined with a direction. Speed is, by definition, just a rate of movement independent of direction.

480 MPH at 32 degrees magnetic = velocity

63 MPH = speed

The two are often used interchangeably in common speech but in physics there is a big difference.

The electric field intensity is formed by the presence of electric charges. It is a vector quantity that represents the force experienced by a positive test charge per unit charge at a given point in space. The magnitude and direction of the electric field intensity depend on the distribution of charges in the vicinity.

Rubbing a glass ruler on a woolen cloth will create a static charge on the ruler due to the triboelectric effect, where electrons transfer between the materials. The glass ruler will become negatively charged as it gains electrons from the woolen cloth, resulting in static attraction to objects with a positive charge.

When working with static electricity, electrons are transferred between objects. The object that gains electrons becomes negatively charged, while the object that loses electrons becomes positively charged.

it is a conductor but its electrical conductivity is only 28%as conducive as copper.

If a charged rod is brought close to a gas filled balloon, one will notice a change in shape in the balloon. In short, the charge of the rod works on the molecules of the gas within the balloon and cause the balloon to elongate.Ê

In electrostatics, we study charges at rest because the behavior of charges in motion falls under the purview of electrodynamics. Charges in motion create magnetic fields and induce electric fields, complicating the analysis that is simplified when charges are at rest. By focusing on charges at rest, we can better understand and apply fundamental principles of electrostatics.

An operating circuit, is by definition, complete. The electrons in a DC circuit flow from the -ve terminal of the power source, through the various components and switches etc, then to the +ve terminal of the power source.

Static electricity is the accumulation of electric charge on the surface of an object, while electric discharge is the sudden flow of electricity between two charged objects or points at different voltages. Static electricity is usually a temporary imbalance of charges, while electric discharge results in the equalization of charges, often in the form of sparks or lightning.

it is because wood is not a better insulator

metal heats up faster depending on the metal. suppose you are heating up aluminum,

it would heat up faster because there are more free electrons so it can transfer heat faster.
