Charging of Insulators

Since charge cannot flow through insulators, neither conduction nor induction can be used to charge, insulators, so in order to charge an insulator friction is used. Whenever an insulator is rubbed against a body exchange of electrons takes place between the two. This results in appearance of equal and opposite charges on the insulator and the other body. Thus the insulator is charged.
For example rubbing of plastic with fur, silk with glass causes charging of these things.

Reynolds Number
Last modified on:3 years agoReading Time:10MinutesWhat is Reynolds Number? The Reynolds number (Re) is a dimensionless parameter used in fluid mechanics to characterize the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas) around an object or through a conduit. It relates the inertial forces to the viscous forces in the fluid and helps determine the type of…

Electromagnetic Induction
Last modified on:5 years agoReading Time:4MinutesWhat is Electromagnetic Induction? It was discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831. It is the phenomenon of generating an emf by changing the number of magnetic field lines (i.e. magnetic flux) associated with the circuit. We have studied that moving charges or current produces magnetic field. Then normally we get a doubt whether…
