Understanding Charge Distribution: The Role of Conduction in Positive Charging

In summary, the conversation discusses the effects of touching a positively charged body to an uncharged body and the distribution of charge that occurs. The question of whether the objects are conductors or insulators and how it affects the outcome is also raised. However, the conversation is closed due to the lack of effort put into the initial question.

When a body is postively charged q and another uncharged body is touched to it what happens to both the bodies...why and how is charge distribution...please explain

Are they both conductors, or both insulators, or some mix?

I notice that you post a lot of very vague questions. Please take more time asking your question than you hope that people will put into answering.

(As you haven't posted here before, you may want to review the Physics Forums rules at https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/physics-forums-global-guidelines.414380/)

What do you think happens and why? Does it make a difference if the objects are conductors or insulators?

Next time put more effort into your question. Thread closed.
 

Related to Understanding Charge Distribution: The Role of Conduction in Positive Charging

1. What is charge distribution?

Charge distribution refers to the way that electric charge is spread out or distributed in an object. This can vary depending on the properties and composition of the object.

2. What is positive charging?

Positive charging occurs when an object has an excess of positive charge compared to its surroundings. This can happen through the transfer of electrons from one object to another, or through the separation of charge within an object.

3. How does conduction play a role in positive charging?

Conduction is the transfer of charge between objects through direct contact. In positive charging, conduction can occur when an object with a surplus of positive charge comes into contact with another object, causing some of the charge to transfer and balance out the charges between the two objects.

4. What factors influence charge distribution and conduction in positive charging?

The properties of the objects involved, such as their composition and surface area, can influence charge distribution and conduction in positive charging. Temperature, humidity, and the presence of other materials can also play a role.

5. How does understanding charge distribution and conduction in positive charging benefit us?

Understanding charge distribution and conduction can help us better understand and control the behavior of electricity in our daily lives. It is also important in fields such as electronics, where accurate charge distribution and control can impact the performance and lifespan of devices.
