  2. Surface charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_charge

    When a surface is immersed in a solution containing electrolytes, it develops a net surface charge.This is often because of ionic adsorption. Aqueous solutions universally contain positive and negative ions (cations and anions, respectively), which interact with partial charges on the surface, adsorbing to and thus ionizing the surface and creating a net surface charge. [9]

  3. Oil drop experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_drop_experiment

    This experiment has since been repeated by generations of physics students, although it is rather expensive and difficult to conduct properly. From 1995 to 2007, several computer-automated experiments have been conducted at SLAC to search for isolated fractionally charged particles, however, no evidence for fractional charge particles has been ...

  4. Faraday's ice pail experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_ice_pail_experiment

    The only charges inside S are the charge Q on the object C, and the induced charge Q induced on the inside surface of the metal. Since the sum of these two charges is zero, the induced charge on the inside surface of the shell must have an equal but opposite value to the charge on C: Q induced = −Q.

  5. Triboelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboelectric_effect

    Such experiments led to the theory of two types of electric charge, one being the negative of the other, with a simple sum respecting signs giving the total charge. The electrostatic attraction of the charged plastic pen to neutral uncharged pieces of paper (for example) is due to induced dipoles [ 36 ] : Chapter 27 in the paper.

  6. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    For a surface charge distribution (a good approximation for charge on a plate in a parallel plate capacitor) where (′) gives the charge per unit area at position ′, and ′ is an infinitesimal element of area, ′ = (′) ′.

  7. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    A charge-generated E-field can be expressed as the gradient of a scalar field that is a solution to Poisson's equation, and has a zero path integral. See gradient theorem. The integral equation is true for any path ∂Σ through space, and any surface Σ for which that path is a boundary.

  9. Water thread experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_thread_experiment

    A repetition of the experiment using a 5 kV Dc source. The bridge continued until the electricity was interrupted in the last frame. The water thread experiment is a phenomenon that occurs when two containers of deionized water , placed on an insulator, are connected by a thread, then a high-voltage positive electric charge is applied to one ...
