Charging by Induction Purpose: To determine the kind of charge induced on a neutral object when it is approached by a charged object. Materials: • metal-leaf electroscope • ebonite rod • fur • glass rod • silk • human finger (with body) Procedure: 1. The metal-leaf electroscope was approached‚ but not touched‚ by a negatively charged ebonite rod. The rod was moved toward and away from the metal ball on the electroscope several times. Observations were recorded

Atoms Atom is the fundamental building block of all stuff‚ or what scientists like to call "matter". An individual atom is very small. In fact‚ the smallest type of atom‚ hydrogen‚ has a diameter of 10-8 cm. Every single object is composed of atoms. Our body is made up of many‚ many individual atoms. There are also many different types of atom. These different types are called elements. Examples of some elements are hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ and helium. Under normal conditions many atoms can stick together

Particle physics and nuclear physics concern themselves with the study of these particles‚ their interactions‚ and matter made up of them which do not aggregate into atoms. These particles include atomic constituents such as electrons‚ protons‚ and neutrons (protons and neutrons are actually composite particles‚ made up of quarks)‚ as well as other particles such as photons and neutrinos which are produced copiously in the sun. However‚ most of the particles that have been discovered and studied

Cosmic Engine - Research Task 1. Describe how energy can be released from the nuclei of atoms (6) Most nuclei are stable. Consisting of protons and neutrons‚ they are unaffected by chemical reactions and have remained the same since they were formed. However‚ some nuclei are unstable and spontaneously release energy in the form of a Helium nucleus (α Alpha)‚an electron (β Beta) and γ Gamma rays. These nuclei are known as radioactive and it’s not possible to predict when a particular

B) electron. C) nucleus. D) neutron. E) proton. The correct answer is A)‚ atom. According to page 105 an atom retains the characteristic of that element. b) Describes the negative charge of a particle. Even though it has no mass it is not considered the characteristic of that element c)

charged particle was the cause of the light produced by the cathode-ray tube. He also discovered that these particles are present in all elements. These cathode-ray particles are now known as electrons. Soon after the discovery of electrons the proton was discovered. This led Thomson to conclude that ther were an equal number of both particles present in the atom. Twelve years later Lord Ernest Rutherford was experimenting with alpha particles. He shot a stream of them at a piece of gold

Structure of the Atom Dense nucleus composed of neutrons (0 charge) and protons (+ charge) and surrounded by orbital electrons (- charge). Neutrons and protons firmly held in the nucleus while electrons are very loosely held and are easy to remove. When electrons are removed from the atom‚ two charged particles (ions) are produced the positively charged atom and the negative electron. Energy is absorbed to remove the electron from the atom.

Is your hair then positively or negatively charged? How about the comb? -The hair becomes positively charged and the comb becomes negatively charged; since‚ the electrons went from your hair to the comb and the more electrons there is makes an object more negative. 18)
