Current passes through us if we hold a conductor barefoot and it goes inside the earth. What happens next? What happens with that charge as it enters the ground? Does it combine with the cations present in the soil?
The source of charge inside the Earth is primarily from the movement of charged particles, such as electrons, within the Earth's molten core. These particles move due to convection currents and the Earth's rotation, creating an electric current.
Charge moves within the Earth through convection currents in the molten core and through the rotation of the Earth. The rotation of the Earth creates a magnetic field, which also plays a role in the movement of charge within the Earth.
No, the charge inside the Earth does not disappear. It is constantly being generated and moved within the Earth's core. However, it can become temporarily neutralized when it interacts with other materials or substances within the Earth.
The charge inside the Earth does not have one specific destination. It is constantly moving and interacting with other materials within the Earth. Some of it may dissipate through the Earth's surface, while other charge may be neutralized by other materials.
The charge inside the Earth plays a crucial role in the Earth's magnetic field, which protects our planet from harmful solar winds and cosmic rays. It also contributes to geological processes such as volcanic activity and plate tectonics.
