STATEMENT II It is impossible to transfer electric charge from one object to another. Both statements are incorrect Statement I is incorrect and statement II is correct Both statements are correct Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect
Before starting the experiment on Coulomb's law experiment you had a lesson on electrostatic phenomena. You learned that in a static situation, if there is excess charge on a conductor, 1. it keeps leaking from the surface to surrounding atmosphere until the whole amount of excess charge is gone 2. it remains concentrated at the center part 3. it spreads over the surface of the conductor 4. it's under a constant motion throughout the conductor surface

1. The magnitude of an electric field became 3.0 x 106 N/C or greater, so that electrical breakdown and thus sparking could occur. 2. The energy of a spark was 150 mJ or greater so that it could ignite the powder explosively. Let us check for the first condition in the powder flow through the plastic pipes. Suppose a stream of negatively charged powder was blown through a cylindrical pipe of radius R = 5.0 cm. Assume that the powder and its charge were spread uniformly through the pipe with a volume charge density p. a. Using Gauss' law, find an expression for the magnitude of the electric field E in the pipe as a function of radial distance r from the pipe center. b. Does E increase or decrease with increasing r? c. Is E directed radially inward or outward? d. For p = 1.1 x 10³ C/m³ (a typical value at the factory), find the maximum E and determine where that maximum field occurs. e. Could sparking occur, and if so, where? From the answer to part (a) of the problem, f. Find an…
Students noted that their friend's hair standing up when he removed the hat from the head. Their science teacher asked them to explain the reason based on your electrostatics knowledge. Which will be the best answer? O A. There is thermal energy produced and that caused kinetic energy to the hair. O B. Chemical reactions make the hair more rigid. O C. Hair gains electrons when the hat is removed and so hair is attracted to the surrounding air. D. The hair loses electrons causing the them to repel each other. Same charges repel.
