When a negatively charged conductor is connected to earth,
Additional Information: Earth is an electric conductor. Earthing is defined as “the process in which the instantaneous discharge of the electrical energy takes place by transferring charges directly to the earth through low resistance wire.” When a charged body is connected to the earth, it becomes electrically neutral.
A negative ion is an atom that ________ electrons.
Therefore, the correct answer is C.
When a hard rubber rod is given a negative charge by rubbing it with wool:
The value of charge on a body which carries 30 excess electrons is:
Here, n = 30 e = -1.6 x 10-19 C We know that q = n ∗ e
Therefore, q = 30 * (1.6 x 10-19 C) q = - 4.8 ∗ 10-18 C
The total negative charge in 1 mol of helium (atomic number 2, atomic mass 4) is:
Name the physical quantity whose S.I. unit is JC-1. Is it a scalar or a vector quantity?
Additional Information:
How many electrons are present in 1 coulomb of charge?
According to Quantisation of Charge we know that, Q = ne Therefore, 1 coulomb of Charge = n * 1.6 * 10-19 ⇒ 1/ 1.6 × 10-19 = n ⇒ n = 6.25 × 1018
What does q1 + q2 = 0 signify?
If we have two bodies with charge q1 and q2 on them and we are given q1 + q2 = 0. It means the net charge on the system is zero.
This is possible only if q1 and q2 are equal and opposite.
That is, q1 = +q and q2 = -q or vice versa.
Such that, q1 + q2 = +q + (-q) = 0
A silk cloth rubbed with a glass rod acquire a charge (-1.6 x 10-19) C. Then the charge on the glass rod is:
During rubbing, glass rod acquires + ve charges and silk cloth acquires - ve charges. The glass rod will have postive charge equal in value to the negative charge lost by the silk. ∴ the charge on the glass rod is + 1.6×10- 19C
Additional Information: When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, glass happens to lose electrons easily and silk grabs them away from the glass atoms. So after rubbing, the glass becomes positively charged and the silk becomes negatively charged. Thus equal but opposite charges are produced on both.
