Charge Induction

AI Thread Summary

Charging by induction involves the redistribution of electric charges in an object without direct contact. When a charged object is brought near a neutral conductor, it causes electrons to move, leading to one side becoming negatively charged and the other positively charged. This process can result in the neutral object losing electrons if it is grounded, creating a net positive charge. Understanding this concept clarifies that induction can indeed lead to the loss of electrons, depending on the circumstances. Clarifying these principles can help resolve confusion about the induction charging process.

I have a confusing, i think it lose electron instead of gaining electron. Help me, please

What is your understanding of what "charging by induction" means?

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
