CHARGING PROCESS

    Cards (13)

    • true for the process of charging by CONDUCTION - the charged object will produce the same type of CHARGE on a CONDUCTOR
    • charging by INDUCTION - charging process used to charge a neutral object withoout actually touching the object ,to any other charged material
    • charging by CONDUCTION - involves the transfer of electrons from a charged object to another object through direct contact
    • charging by induction involves the MOVEMENT of electrons to one part of the object
    • induction produces an OPPOSITE CHARGE to the object
    • electric charging can also be carried out by GROUNDING
    • GROUNDING - process of removing or balancing the excess charge on an object
    • its carried out by the transfer of electrons between the object and another object of substantial size which is referred to as the GROUND
    • a ground is a LARGE CONDUCTOR or DEPOSIT of charges
    • since grounding provides a path for charges to flow between the charged object and the earth, this is also called EARTHING
    • grounding is done by CONNECTING the object to the GROUND with a CONDUCTING WIRE, where electrons can move easily
    • lighting rods - carried out by the transfer of electrons between the object and another object of substantial size, which is referred to as the GROUND
    • lighting rods - a metal rod attached to the roof of the building which is connected to a wire
