I need help on an essay on Electric Charge

Physics
1 answer:
DiKsa [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Electric force is caused by electric charge. Electric charge is a property of the bits of matter within atoms. Electric force can cause matter to attract or repel because there are two kinds of charge – positive and negative charge.

The effects of electric force can be summarized as the law of electric charge: Pieces of matter with the same kind of charge repel each other. Pieces of matter with the same kind of charge attract each other. 2 objects with a positive charge repel each other, as do 2 objects with a negative charge.

Most objects are made of matter with equal amounts of positive and negative charge. Objects with the same # of positive and negative charges are electrically balanced, or neutral. Electric force is observed only when the balance of charge on objects is disturbed.

An electric charge on an object that causes the object to attract or repel other objects is called static electricity. The adjective static describes something that does not move. Charges on an object are called static electricity to contrast then with the moving charges in an electric current.

What is the equivalent resistance of a circuit that contains two 50.00
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Resistors in series add. There is only one path the current can take. That's why Christmas Tree lights sometimes give a lot of trouble. If a bulb burns out, it could be any one of them and time is needed to find the burned out bulb.

That being the case R = R1 + R2

R1 = 50 ohms

R2 = 50 ohms

R = 50 + 50

R = 100 ohms

Answer A

Which of the following phenomena are due to the electric interaction? (Select all that apply.) surface tension in water friction
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Surface tension in water

Friction between tires and pavement

Dissolution of salt in water

Explanation:

Surface tension in water: It is due to the electrostatic force of attraction (cohesive force) between water molecules.

Friction between tires and pavement: It is due to the attractive force between tires and pavement.

Dissolution of salt in water: The ions of Na ^ + and Cl ^ - separate due to the strong attraction of water molecules.
