By transferring electrical charges from one object to another

Explanation:

The law of conservation of electric charge states that the total electric charge of the universe is constant, therefore no charge can be created or destroyed, but only transferred.

Indeed, when an object is charged, this is due to the fact that charge carriers (typically electrons) are transferred to/from the object.

Consider an object initially neutral: this means that the object has initially an equal amount of positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electron).

Later, if we remove electrons from the object, then it will remain with an excess of protons: therefore, it will be positively charged. However, the electrons have not disappeared: simply, they have been moved somewhere else (on another object, for example, which will become negatively charged: so, the total net charge will still be zero).

Similarly, if we add electrons to the object, it will become negatively charged: however, the electrons have been removed from another object which is now positively charged, so the net charge still has not changed.

How hydrogen and helium atoms diffrent
Rama09 [41]

Hydrogen has one proton whereas helium has two protons in its nucleus.

<h3>How hydrogen and helium atoms different from one another?</h3>

Atoms of hydrogen have a single proton in their nucleus and a single electron in the lowest energy level while on the other hand, Helium atoms have two protons in the nucleus  and two electrons in the lowest energy level. In this way, we can say that the atomic number of hydrogen is 1 whereas the atomic number of helium is 2 because of the presence of two protons. Hydrogen atom has no neutron while on the other hand, the helium atom has one neutron in its nucleus.

So we can conclude that Hydrogen has one proton whereas helium has two protons in its nucleus.

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

0.22 m

Explanation:

m = 0.43 kg, K = 561 N/m

Vmax = 8 m/s

Let the amplitude of the oscillations be A.

The formula for the angular frequency of oscillation sis given by

\omega  = \sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}

\omega  = \sqrt{\frac{561}{0.43}}

ω = 36.1 rad/s

The formula for the maximum velocity is given by

Vmax = ω x A

A = Vmax / ω

A = 8 / 36.1 = 0.22 m
