1873Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism in which the interactions of positive and negative charges were shown to be regulated by one force. There are four main effects resulting from these interactions‚ all of which have been clearly demonstrated by experiments: 1. Electric charges attract or repel one another with a force inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them: unlike charges attract‚ like ones repel. 2. Magnetic poles (or states of polarization at individual points)

But objects at electrostatic equilibrium have no further motion of charge about the surface. So if this were to occur‚ then the original claim that the object was at electrostatic equilibrium would be a false claim. If the electrons within a conductor have assumed an equilibrium state‚ then the net force upon those electrons is zero. The electric field lines either begin or end upon a charge and in the case of a conductor‚ the charge exists solely upon its outer surface. The lines extend from this

Questions: What is the polarity of the resting membrane potential (voltage)? You correctly answered: b. negative What does it mean that the voltage just inside the membrane is negative? You correctly answered: b. There are more negative charges than positive charges just inside the membrane. The membrane of most cells‚ including neurons‚ contains passive‚ open‚ K+ leak channels. Given the normal K+ concentrations and the resultant concentration gradient‚ which direction would K+ be expected to move

Concepts 1. Electricity is the flow of electric charge (electrons). 2. Electric Charge is a property of subatomic particles. 3. Current is the movement of electric charge. 4. Voltage is the electric potential that exists to move a charge. 5. Power is the rate at which electric energy is flowing in a circuit. 6. Ohm’s Law: Power = Voltage x Current. 7. Resistance is a physical property that quantifies how well a charge can move through a material. 8. Ohm’s Law: Voltage
