SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on charge transfer in metal rod experiments, specifically involving a free-hanging aluminum foil-coated ball and a charged metal rod. When the charged rod touches the ball, charge is transferred, resulting in the ball retaining charge even after the rod is removed. The discussion raises questions about the forces involved in charge transfer, the persistence of charge on the ball, and the lack of electron transfer when a paint stick is used instead of a metal rod.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electrostatics and charge transfer principles
  • Familiarity with conductive materials and their properties
  • Knowledge of basic physics concepts such as electron transfer and electric fields
  • Experience with experimental setups involving charged objects
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of electrostatic induction and charge retention
  • Explore the differences between conductors and insulators in charge transfer
  • Learn about the role of electric fields in charge distribution
  • Investigate the effects of different materials on charge transfer efficiency
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physics students, educators, and experimenters interested in electrostatics, charge transfer mechanisms, and the behavior of conductive materials in experiments.

A free-hanging, easy ball to the surface coated with aluminum foil, recharged by a metal rod, one end of which affect the ball (figure A). Charge is introduced with metal rods the other end, as it touches with a charged coating rod. The ball makes rulings that show that the metal rod and had some of the coating specimen charging (figure B). even after the coating rod removed from the metal rod remains the ruling, which shows that charge remains on the ball and the metal rod (figure C). the metal rod replaced by a paint ball rod makes no rash (figure D).

Questions:
1) For situation B, you will both metal ball and metal rod the same charge. It has thus been transferred electrons from / to paint the rod. Should not also paint the rod also some one replierande force? If it is not, why?

2) What is it that makes the image C that even after coating the rod removed from the metal rod remains the ruling? Why can not form an electrical influence? So that when one side is positive and the other end is negative?

3) Why does nothing happen when you replace your metal rod against a paint stick and paint for a charged rod in contact with each other? Why there is no electron transfer else?

Aloshi,

This looks like a machine translation. Could you please try to put this into clearer English?

If you really cannot do this, I am afraid that you may be unable to understand any reply.

excuse me, but I can not English well. they are a program that can help me? I andvändr me of google translate but it is worthless. 'll try to make it better
