    Electron Proton
AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores whether an electron can avoid the attraction of a distant positive charge, such as a proton. It notes that while the electrical force of attraction theoretically extends infinitely, its strength diminishes with distance. At significant separations, the force may become too weak to detect. Additionally, the interaction between the electron and proton is influenced by the surrounding environment's structure and geometry. Ultimately, the question highlights the complexities of electromagnetic interactions at long distances.

Firstly sorry for my english .
I don't know how i should search this question this is why i am asking here.
while i am thinking about charges,i think
consider a positive charge. And put an electron very far from it. Is there any posiblity for electron don't affect from positive charge

As far as we know the electrical force of attraction between the proton and electron spreads to infinity but gets weaker with separation. In practise, however, the separation can reach values where the force becomes so weak that we may be unable to detect it. Also, the actual force on the electron and proton depends on structure and geometry of the rest of the
surroundings.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
