How can an object become charged

Physics

8 0

Answer:

An object becomes charged when it loses or gains electrons.

Explanation:

There are three ways to charge an object:

1)friction,

2)conduction

3)induction.

1) Friction involves rubbing on material with another, resulting in electrons moving from one surface to another.

2)Conduction on the other hand is used to charge things that are good conductors, such a metal.

3)The final way to charge an object is by induction and is, again, best for conductive materials.

Answer:

An object gets charged when it's atoms lose or gain an electron to become an ion. For example: ... This means that the fur loses it's electrons to the plastic rod and both objects are now charged. The fur is positively charged because it lost electrons and the rod is negatively charged because it gained electrons

Hey there! 

Answer: Glaciers

Water near the poles would most likely be stored as glaciers. Glaciers are slow moving rivers that are a buildup of ice and snow. 

Thank you!

Raindrops acquire an electric charge as they fall. Suppose a 2.4-mm-diameter drop has a charge of +18 pC, fairly typical values.
muminat

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the potential, defined from the Coulomb laws for which it is defined as the product between the Coulomb constant and the load, over the distance that separates the two objects. Mathematically this is

V = \frac{kq}{r}

k = Coulomb's constant

q = Charge

r = Distance between them

q = 18 pC \rightarrow q = 1.8*10^-11 C

d = 2.4mm \rightarrow r = 1.2 mm = 1.2*10^-3 m

Replacing,

V = \frac{kq}{r}

V = \frac{ (9*10^9)*(1.8*10^{-11})}{(1.2*10^{-3})}

V = 135 V

Therefore the potential at the surface of the raindrop is 135 V

Given that the frequency of an EM wave is 4THz, what is its wavelength?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

The wavelength of the EM wave is 7.5 * 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave is related to its wavelength by the following formula;

velocity = wavelength * frequency

For an electromagnetic (EM) wave, its velocity is equal to the velocity of light, c = 3.0 * 10⁸ m/s

Given that the frequency and veloity of the given EM wave in the question is known, its wavelength is calculated as follows:

wavelength = velocity/frequency

where velocity of the EM wave = 3.0 * 10⁸ m/s;

frequency = 4THz = 4 * 10¹² Hz

wavelength = 3.0 * 10⁸m/s / 4 * 10¹² Hz

wavelength = 7.5 * 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore, the wavelength of the EM wave is 7.5 * 10⁻⁴ m
