Tisa makes a diagram to organize her notes about charging objects. 2 overlapping circles. The left circle is labeled Friction. The right circle is labeled Conduction. An X is in the overlap.
Which statement should she place in the region marked X?

Electrons move between objects.
The objects do not touch.
The objects develop opposite charges.
The objects have the same charge.

In a thunderstorm, charge builds up on the water droplets or ice crystals in a cloud. thus, the charge can be considered to be distributed uniformly throughout the cloud. for the purposes of this problem, take the cloud to be a sphere of diameter 1.00 kilometer. the point of this problem is to estimate the maximum amount of charge that this cloud can contain, assuming that the charge builds up until the electric field at the surface of the cloud reaches the value at which the surrounding air breaks down. this breakdown means that the air becomes highly ionized, enabling it to conduct the charge from the cloud to the ground or another nearby cloud. the ionized air will then emit light due to the recombination of the electrons and atoms to form excited molecules that radiate light. in addition, the large current will heat up the air, resulting in its rapid expansion. these two phenomena account for the appearance of lightning and the sound of thunder. take the breakdown electric field of air to be eb=3.00ă—106n/c. part a estimate the total charge q on the cloud when the breakdown of the surrounding air is reached. express your answer numerically, to three significant figures, using ďµ0=8.85ă—10â’12c2/(nâ‹…m2) .

Atomic nuclei of almost all elements consist of

Two point charges are separated by a certain distance. how does the strength of the electric field produced by the first charge, at the position of the second charge, change if the second charge is doubled? a. the field does not change b. the field strength decreases by half. c. the field strength doubles d. the field strength quadruples
