Law of Charges and Conservation of Charge
Law of Charges:
1. There are two kinds of charges; (+) Positive and (-) Negative. 2. Like charges repel. Example: (-)<--->(-) (+)<--->(+) 3. Opposite charges attract. Example: (-)(+) |
Law of Conservation and Charge:
1. Net charge can not be created or destroyed. 2. It cannot make or get rid of protons or electrons. 3. Charge can be transferred between materials. 4. Total charge of the universe is constant. |
Charging by Conduction and Induction
Charging by Conduction:
This is when a charged object touches a neutral object and the charge transfers to the neutral one until both object are charged with the same amount of charge. |
Charging by Induction:
This is when you bring a charged object near to but not touching a neutral object and then charging it momentarily connecting it to a ground. |
Grounding
This is when an object as an excess charge and is removed by transferring electrons between it and another object of substantial size.
Grounding is when you make a charged object (positive or negative) neutral or uncharged.
Grounding is when you make a charged object (positive or negative) neutral or uncharged.
Negatively Charged ObjectSince a negatively charged object has an excess amount of electrons, it has to lose it's excess electrons by touching a ground that will remove those excess electrons. When this happens its charged will be removed.
|
Positively Charged ObjectSince a positively charged object doesn't have an excess amount of electrons, it has to gain those electrons by touching a ground that will give it electrons. Once this is done the object will become neutral.
