Describe what happens, at a microscopic level, when an object is charged by rubbing. For instance, what happens when a plastic p

Answer:

Explanation:

The static charges are generated due to excess or deficiency of electrons, because these are the smallest quanta of charge available at the molecular level which can get transferred with minimal energy requirement.

These charges are usually generated by friction between  the two surfaces leading to the transfer of electron from one to another.

When a plastic pipe is rubbed with a cloth then due to friction the surface of the cloth loses electron which gets stuck at the surface of the pipe making it negatively charged.

What is the net charge (overall or sum of charges) of the nucleus and what number is it equal to?
polet [3.4K]
Because the nucleus is made up of positively charged protons and neutrally charged neutrons, and no negatively charged particles, the charge of the nucleus will always be equal to the sum of the charges of its protons. A simpler way to say it is because each proton has a +1 charge, the charge of the nucleus will be the same as the number of protons in it.

An uniform electric field of magnitude E = 100 N/C is oriented along the positive y-axis. What is the magnitude of the flux of t
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The magnitude of the flux of electric field through a square of surface area is zero.

Explanation:

E=100 NC^{-1}\\\\A=2 m^2\\\\Electic\,\,flux\,\,flux\,\,is\,\,given\,\,as:\\\\\phi_E=E.A\,cos\,\theta

It is given that square box is parallel to yz-plane which has normal vector perpendicular to plane in x-direction. Angle between normal vector of area and electric field is 90°. Substituting in (1)

\phi_E=E.A\,cos\,(90^o)\\\\\phi_E=0

When you lift an object, you add the energy of lifting to the object.<br> Tor F
PtichkaEL [24]

It's true, when we lift an object we add energy to it.

because, when we lift an object by applying force , the object attains a height and hence the energy gets stored in it, in the form gravitational potential energy .
