Sure, I understand that you would like a summary of the
chapter on "Charging by Conduction Process" that
includes examples, quotes, and possibly hand-drawn
plots. I will do my best to make the content flow like a
story and use a variety of tools to achieve this.
To begin with, it is important to understand what
charging by conduction is. Charging by conduction
occurs when charges are transferred from one object to
another through direct contact. This process is driven by
the electric field that is created when a charged object
is brought close to a neutral object. The electric field
exerts a force on the charges in the neutral object,
causing them to move and redistribute themselves until
the object is also charged.
As an example, consider the following video
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD-pTvLgyNU ),
which demonstrates the charging by conduction process
using a comb and a piece of fabric. In the video, the
comb is rubbed against the fabric to give it a charge.
When the charged comb is brought close to the neutral
piece of fabric, an electric field is created that causes
the charges in the fabric to move and redistribute
themselves until the fabric is also charged.
To calculate the charge transferred during this process,
we can use the following formula:
Q = ∑q
Where Q is the total charge transferred, and ∑q is the
sum of all the individual charges that are transferred.
In the case of the video, we can estimate the number of
electrons that are transferred from the comb to the
fabric by considering the charge on a single electron
(1.6 x 10^-19 C) and the number of electrons in one
mole (6.02 x 10^23).
