    Hey
In summary, EM charge is the property of particles that allows them to interact with electromagnetic fields and is responsible for phenomena such as electricity, magnetism, and light. It is related to conduction, which is the transfer of charge through a material, and plays a crucial role in the continued flow of electricity in devices. EM charge can be retained after conduction through the use of insulating materials and is affected by factors such as the type of insulation, conductor size, and external fields.

Hey Quick Question!

will plasma retain a electro-magnetic charge after conduction? And if so any ideas as to the strength of the charge?

Seems like a good question. I do not know the answer, but hopefully someone else will jump in that does.
 

What is EM charge and why is it important?

EM charge, or electromagnetic charge, is the fundamental property of particles that allows them to interact with electromagnetic fields. It is important because it is responsible for many phenomena in our daily lives, such as electricity, magnetism, and light.

What is conduction and how does it relate to EM charge?

Conduction is the transfer of energy or charge through a material. In the case of EM charge, it refers to the transfer of charge through a conductor, such as a metal wire. EM charge is responsible for the movement of charge during conduction.

What does it mean to retain EM charge after conduction?

Retaining EM charge after conduction means that the charge remains in the conductor after the transfer of charge has occurred. This is important because it allows for the continued flow of electricity and the functioning of devices that rely on electric current.

How is EM charge retained after conduction?

EM charge is retained after conduction through the use of insulating materials, such as rubber or plastic, which prevent the charge from escaping the conductor. Additionally, the shape and size of the conductor can also affect the retention of EM charge.

What factors can affect the retention of EM charge after conduction?

The retention of EM charge can be affected by various factors, such as the type of material used as insulation, the length and thickness of the conductor, and the presence of any external electric or magnetic fields. These factors can alter the flow of charge and impact the retention of EM charge.
