Does an alpha particle would be affected by magnetic field?
Sure, like any moving and charged particle.
Why doesn't a compass seem to be affected by a negatively-charged balloon?
The compass would only be affected by a magnetic field. The charge on the balloon would not create the field unless there was a current flow. The charge on the balloon is called "static" because it doesn't flow.
Is static electricity in magnets?
Static electricity uses positive and negative charges contained within a non-conductive material to attract or repel another object with off balanced charges. Magnetism uses the polarity of atoms to attract or repel another object that can potentially be a magnet.
Can static electricity be harnessed for useful purpose?
It seems if simple static electricity experimentscan sufficiently harness 'static electricity' to reveal visible effects, i.e. a charged comb makes hair stand up,then the same effect should be applicable on a much larger scale.Why? Because the hair is attracted to the 'charged comb,'it indicates a 'magnetic effect.'Once the 'magnetic effect' is applied to a visible result, i.e. hair standing up, it means static electricity has been converted to magnetic power.It seem to me, it should be possible to create this 'magnetic power' on a far larger scale by accessing the enormous static electricity that pervades the air around us.So, if someone out there has ever produced magnetism by accessing 'static electricity' on a scale that would light up a light bulb, recharge a cell phone, or run a refrigerator, or even run a car, I'd really like to see it or hear about it?
Why is a dewar flask nonmagnetic?
It is made of glass and silver plate which are nonmagnetic. The plate on the glass could also be aluminum but still not affected much by an external magnetic field. As long as the flask has no iron, nickel, or cobalt (ferromagnetic elements) it would be called nonmagnetic. Note all materials are affected by a magnetic field, but it is very much a subtle effect for most things we call nonmagnetic.
An instrument that would not be expected to react to a magnetic storm?
Compass.
How is the force affected when the current is reversed in a magnetic field?
The magnetic field would reverse.
An instrument that would NOT be expected to react to a magnetic storm is a?
gravity meter.
What part in Texas would be most affected by a dust storm?
The northern plains
How do magnets help generator produce electricity?
Magnets would have magnetic flux around. As a coil linked with this magnetic flux is rotated such that the flux would change then an electro motive force is induced. This is the way in which generator functions.
Does an alpha particle would be affected by magnetic field?
Sure, like any moving and charged particle.
Does copper attract with the south pole of a magnet?
No, copper is not magnetic.ANS2:Copper is not a magnetic metal so the only ways it would be affected would be through electromagnetism or if the copper were part of a magnetic alloy.
How do you get to the core of the earth?
you can't get to the earth's core it's to deep, you would melt from the lava, and if you did get to the core you would disrupt the earths magnetic field and we would be killed by a solar storm.
Why is it as important to have insulators as it is to have conductors?
In the context of electricity, if everything was a conductor, we wouldn't be able to generate electricity as the movement of electrons induced by the magnetic field in the generator would just be dissapated into the rest of the deivce!
Why doesn't a compass seem to be affected by a negatively-charged balloon?
The compass would only be affected by a magnetic field. The charge on the balloon would not create the field unless there was a current flow. The charge on the balloon is called "static" because it doesn't flow.
Are most metal elements brittle and don't conduct electricity?
No, it would be a nonmetal. Metals are usually malleable and do conduct electricity well.
Who discovered electricity flying a kite in a storm?
Benjamin Franklin. Although it's unlikely that he used a kite and a key as normally described as this would have instantly killed him.
