about 3000 million beats in your lifetime.Then it stops.
.. Everybody can deviate water streams without any contact. . In fact, the story of electricity starts with trees. Trees have a special relation to electricity. When a tree is cut, a viscous resin appears. With time it solidifies and, after millions of years, it forms amber. .. Another interesting effect can be observed when a rubbed comb is put near a burning candle. (Can you imagine what happens?)] ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, A (physical) field is thus an entity that manifests itself by accelerating other bodies in a given region of space. A field is space that changes momenta. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Experiments show that fields have no mass and no material support. Fields influence bodies over a distance. Fields are invisible. To make them imaginable, we just need to colour them. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Victorian and religious to his bones, when he was knighted, he chose the name of a small brook near his home as his new name; thus he became Baron Kelvin of Largs. Therefore the unit of temperature obtained its name from a small Scottish river.
In practice, electric charge is measured with electrometers.
To convince yourself of the strength of electrostatic attraction, answer the following: What is the force between two boxes with a gram of protons each, located on the two poles of the Earth? Try to guess the result before you calculate the astonishing value. ans-One has F = cN2A /4R2 = 3 1012 N, an enormous force, corresponding to the weight of 300 million tons. It shows the enormous forces that keep matter together.
inertia of electricity For example, when a long metal rod is kept vertically, we can measure an electrical potential difference, a voltage, between the top and the bottom. In other words, we can measure the weight of electricity in this way. Similarly, we can measure the potential differenc Ref. 9 between the ends of an accelerated rod. Alternatively, we can measure the potential difference between the centre and the rim of a rotating metal disc.The last experiment was, in fact, the way in which the ratio q/m for currents in metals was first measured with precision. The result is In short, electrical charge in metals has mass, though a very small one.
