Does a neutrally charged object even have a charge?

2 answers:

8 0

“Charged objects have an imbalance of charge - either more negative electrons than positive protons or vice versa. And neutral objects have a balance of charge - equal numbers of protons and electrons. The principle stated earlier for atoms can be applied to objects. Objects with more electrons than protons are charged negatively; objects with fewer electrons than protons are charged positively.

In this discussion of electrically charged versus electrically neutral objects, the neutron has been neglected. Neutrons, being electrically neutral play no role in this unit. Their presence (or absence) will have no direct bearing upon whether an object is charged or uncharged. Their role in the atom is merely to provide stability to the nucleus.”

Hope this helps a bit.

The particle, initially at rest, is acted upon only by the electric force and moves from point a to point b along the x axis, in

bezimeni [28]

1) Potential difference: 1 V

2) $V_b-V_a = -1 V$

Explanation:

When a charge moves in an electric field, its electric potential energy is entirely converted into kinetic energy; this change in electric potential energy is given by

$\Delta U=q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge's magnitude

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference between the initial and final position

In this problem, we have:

$q=4.80\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the magnitude of the charge

$\Delta U = 4.80\cdot 10^{-19}J$ is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

Therefore, the potential difference (in magnitude) is

$\Delta V=\frac{\Delta U}{q}=\frac{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}=1 V$

Here we have to evaluate the direction of motion of the particle.

We have the following informations:

- The electric potential increases in the +x direction

- The particle is positively charged and moves from point a to b

Since the particle is positively charged, it means that it is moving from higher potential to lower potential (because a positive charge follows the direction of the electric field, so it moves away from the source of the field)

This means that the final position b of the charge is at lower potential than the initial position a; therefore, the potential difference must be negative:

$V_b-V_a = - 1V$
