A charged object is an object that has an excess or deficiency of electrons, resulting in the object having a positive or negative charge. This charge is caused by the transfer of electrons between objects through a process called electrostatic induction.
The electron force, also known as the electrostatic force, is a fundamental force of nature that acts between charged particles, such as electrons and protons. It is an attractive force between opposite charges and a repulsive force between like charges. The strength of this force depends on the distance between the charged particles and the amount of charge they possess.
Static charges are charges that are stationary and do not move, while dynamic charges are charges that are in motion. Static charges are typically observed in objects that are not conductive, such as plastic or rubber, while dynamic charges can be observed in conductive materials, such as metals.
The force between two charged objects can be calculated using Coulomb's Law, which states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The formula for this is F = k(q1q2)/d^2, where F is the force, k is a constant, q1 and q2 are the charges, and d is the distance between the two objects.
Yes, the electron force can be shielded or cancelled out by using a conductor. Conductors, such as metals, have free electrons that can move around and neutralize the electric field created by the charged objects. This can effectively shield the objects from each other and reduce or cancel out the electron force between them.
