- A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in Figure 18.55, where there is a uniform electric field between two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to continue moving.

(b) Explain why the electron will not be pulled back to the positive plate once it moves through the hole.arrow_forward1. Inside a good conductor in equilibrium, such as aluminum with only small current flowing, there is almost no electric field. This is because the electrons move around and cancel out the field. What does this tell you about the electric potential inside or on the surface of a conductor? (You may consider the following picture of a path between points on the surface of a conductor. How much work is done against the electric force on a charge as you move it along this path?

Lightning rods are placed on homes to reduce the risk of lightning damage to a home. Any metallic object which is placed on the roof of a home and grounded by an appropriate conducting pathway can serve as a lightning rod. Most lightning rods are pointed as a decorative feature. To be totally effective, a lightning rod must stretch high into the sky and draw charge from the lowest clouds by the method of contact. Lightning rods are capable of reducing the excess charge buildup in clouds, a characteristic of dangerous thunderstorms. Charge is incapable of passing from clouds to a lightning rods since the air between the clouds and the lightning rod has an insulating effect. The electric field strength about the points of lightning rods are very high.arrow_forwardCan you charge an insulator by induction? What happens to a wooden stick when you rub it against your hair?
