What happens when a metal sheet is placed between two charges?
Force on any charge increases when metal plate is placed between them as the effective distance between two charges decreases but in case of glass or other dielectrics it decreases.
When two charges +2c and +6c are repelling each other with a force of 12 N and if each charge is given of charge the value and nature of the force is?
+2 C and +6 C two charges are repelling each other with a force of 12 N. If each charge is given -2 C of charge, then the value of the force will be Zero.
How does force affect two charges?
The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value. The size of the force is proportional to the value of each charge.
What happens to the magnitude of the force between two charges if a glass plate is interposed between them?
what happens to the magnitude of the force between two charges if glass plate is interposed between them. The magnitude of force between the two charges will decrease because on introduction of the glass plate, the potential difference between the charges decreases and hence the force decreases.
Why electric field is zero inside a conductor?
Electric field is zero inside a charged conductor. For a charged conductor, the charges will lie on the surface of the conductor.So, there will not be any charges inside the conductor. When there is no charge there will not be electric field.
What happens to the force between two charged bodies when a conductor is introduced in between them?
The value of the net force is same as the force between two charges when metal sheet was not placed. From the formula of Coulomb force, we can observe that the force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
What happens when a metal is placed between two charges?
Clearly there is no interaction between the two charges on either side of the metal When metal is placed between two charges it nullifies the electric filed produced by the two charges. This happens because, the two charges kept on either side will induce some charge on metal
What happens to the electric field when two charges are applied?
This will of course change the electric field, but according to the principle of superposition, the force on one charge due to another charge is not affected by the presence of other charges (i.e., the charges on the metal plate) near it. So the force due to one charge $+q$ on the other charge $+q$ will remain the same.
What happens when two charges are placed at a certain distance apart?
Two charges are placed at a certain distance apart. What will happen to the force between the charges if a metal sheet is placed between them? The force in between the charges will be zero, regardless of the original force (attractive or repulsive) but instead there will be two attractive forces between each of the charges and he metal plate.
What happens when a metal sphere is placed between two charge plates?
When a metal sphere is inserted between two oppositely charge plates the Electric field inside the sphere is zero. The induced charges stay only on the surface of the sphere. The external electric field becomes weaker below the sphere but stronger to the left and right of the sphere.
