The electric force is significantly stronger than the gravitational force. However, although we are attracted to Earth by gravity, we do not usually feel the effects of the electric force. Explain why. 2. An ordinary nickel contains about 1024 electrons, all repelling each other. Why don’t those electrons fly off the nickel? 3. When the distance between two charged balloons is doubled, by what factor does the repulsive force between them change? Read Sec 19-1 Do Section Review pg 699 1. Can the direction of conventional current ever be opposite the direction of charge movement? If so, when? 2. The charge that passes through the filament of a certain light bulb in 5 sec is 3 Coulombs. a) What is the current in the light bulb? B) How many electrons pass through the filament of the light bulb in 1 min (60 sec)? 3. In a conductor that carries a current which is less, the drift speed of an electron, or the average speed of the electron between collisions? 4) What are the functions of batteries and generators? 5) In direct current, charge carriers have a drift velocity, but in alternating current, there is no net velocity of the charge carriers. Explain why. Why does this help explain why batteries wear out?
