How does charging by conduction occur?

Physics

Rufina [12.5K]4 years ago

Charging by conduction involves the contact of a charged object to a neutral object. Suppose that a positively charged aluminum plate is touched to a neutral metal sphere. The neutral metal sphere becomes charged as the result of being contacted by the charged aluminum plate. Or suppose that a negatively charged metal sphere is touched to the top plate of a neutral needle electroscope. The neutral electroscope becomes charged as the result of being contacted by the metal sphere. And finally, suppose that an uncharged physics student stands on an insulating platform and touches a negatively charged Van de Graaff generator. The neutral physics student becomes charged as the result of contact with the Van de Graaff generator. Each of these examples involves contact between a charged object and a neutral object. In contrast to induction, where the charged object is brought near but never contacted to the object being charged, conduction charging involves making the physical connection of the charged object to the neutral object. Because charging by conduction involves contact, it is often called charging by contact.

mash [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

Anybody who has dealt  with Christmas Tree lights knows what can be done. You must take a bulb you know to be good and try each bulb in turn until the whole string lights up. If two bulbs are dead, give up and go buy another string. Two bulbs create a lot of combinations.

The circuit is  a series circuit.

Answer:

D)  As you drive faster in the rain more raindrops strike your windshield.

Explanation:

  1. The Doppler effect occurs when there is a change in the frequency of the source wave with respect to the motion of the observer.
  2. There is an apparent increase in the frequency of the emitted source when an observer moves towards the source.
  3. The wavelength stretches when an observer moves away from the emitting source.
  4. Consider the rain droplets fall towards the Earth in a slightly slanted towards eastwards. So, if you drive westwards, the frequency of the rain droplets hitting the windshield is higher.
  5. Similarly, if you drive eastwards, the frequency of the rain droplets striking your windshield will be lower.
