Methods of Charging

Grounding - the Removal of a Charge

 

The previous three sections of Lesson 2 discussed the three common methods of charging - charging by friction, charging by induction, and charging by conduction. A discussion of charging would not be complete without a discussion of uncharging. Objects with an excess of charge - either positive or negative - can have this charge removed by a process known as grounding. Grounding is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size. When a charged object is grounded, the excess charge is balanced by the transfer of electrons between the charged object and a ground. A ground is simply an object which serves as a seemingly infinite reservoir of electrons; the ground is capable of transferring electrons to or receiving electrons from a charged object in order to neutralize that object. In this last section of Lesson 2, the process of grounding will be discussed.

 

To begin our discussion of grounding, we will consider the grounding of a negatively charged electroscope. Any negatively charged object has an excess of electrons. If it is to have its charge removed, then it will have to lose its excess electrons. Once the excess electrons are removed from the object, there will be equal numbers of protons and electrons within the object and it will have a balance of charge. To remove the excess of electrons from a negatively charged electroscope, the electroscope will have to be connected by a conducting pathway to another object which is capable of receiving those electrons. The other object is the ground. In typical electrostatic experiments and demonstrations, this is simply done by touching the electroscope with one's hand. Upon contact, the excess electrons leave the electroscope and enter the person who touches it. These excess electrons subsequently spread about the surface of the person.

 

This process of grounding works because excess electrons find each other repulsive. As is always the case, repulsive affects between like-charged electrons forces them to look for a means of spatially separating themselves from each other. This spatial separation is achieved by moving to a larger object that allows a greater surface area over which to spread. Because of the relative size of a person compared to a typical electroscope, the excess electrons (nearly all of them) are capable of reducing the repulsive forces by moving into the person (i.e., the ground). Like contact charging discussed earlier, grounding is simply another example of charge sharing between two objects. The extent to which an object is willing to share excess charge is proportional to its size. So an effective ground is simply an object with significant enough size to share the overwhelming majority of excess charge.

 

The previous discussion describes the grounding of a negatively charged electroscope. Electrons were transferred from the electroscope to the ground. But what if the electroscope is positively charged? How does electron transfer allow an object with an excess of protons to become neutralized? To explore these questions, we will consider the grounding of a positively charged electroscope. A positively charged electroscope must gain electrons in order to acquire an equal number of protons and electrons. By gaining electrons from the ground, the electroscope will have a balance of charge and therefore be neutral. Thus, the grounding of a positively charged electroscope involves the transfer of electrons from the ground into the electroscope. This process works because excess positive charge on the electroscope attracts electrons from the ground (in this case, a person). While this may disrupt any balance of charge present on the person, the significantly larger size of the person allows for the excess charge to distance itself further from each other. As in the case of grounding a negatively charged electroscope, the grounding of a positively charged electroscope involves charge sharing. The excess positive charge is shared between the electroscope and the ground. And once again, the extent to which an object is willing to share excess charge is proportional to its size. The person is an effective ground because it has enough size to share the overwhelming majority of excess positive charge.

The Need for a Conducting Pathway

 

Any object can be grounded provided that the charged atoms of that object have a conducting pathway between the atoms and the ground. A common lab activity involves taping two straws to a charged aluminum plate. One straw is covered with aluminum foil and the other straw is bare plastic. When the aluminum covered straw is touched, the aluminum plate loses its charge. It is grounded by means of the movement of electrons from the ground to the aluminum plate. When the plastic straw is touched, grounding does not occur. The plastic serves as an insulator and prevents the flow of electrons from the ground to the aluminum plate. Grounding requires a conducting pathway between the ground and the object to be grounded. Electrons will travel along that pathway.

Guys,I would like to ask something...

Did anyone of u fix power abuser or power abuser 2?and 'ignite'?

 

what's the diff to busa after fixing it?

Recommended to fix it?

 

Got fix. Beside lesser engine brake, didn't feel any other differences.... FC no change.

you'll get lesser engine brake if you remove your alternator coil.. that's for sure..

 

BUT

 

it always baffles me - how does grounding + voltage stabiliser (effectively capacitors) affect the engine braking?

 

:confused:

There's no replacement for displacement except for a blower

First 2008 Falcon Monthly Ride will be on 25th Jan, 2300hrs meeting up GP Petronas Station (next to infamous GP Esso). 30mins for toliet break, petrol top up and etc ... Pushing off 2330hrs sharp. Destination is Ayer Hitam corner Kopitiam.

No waiting for late comers. Whoever late can catch us at Ayer Hitam.

Mission of this event is joy ride, as for makan can be discuss on the meet up day itself. There will a safety briefing prior to set off.

 

Please fill in your email address. Events notification by email and SBF Hayabusa thread.

FALCON RIDERS Announcement

 

I am thinking of doing a BIG MAN TOY RUN once a month to nearby Machap or Yong Peng for our Falcon blow out.

The purpose is not just only blowing off carbon but also to keep the Singapore Falcon Spirits scheme alive, those experience ones can guide the new comers on their machine neccessary works and to familiarize the Falcon and ride it with confident.

After the raining season is over and I am little more easy to manage my time now, I will do a kick off and somebody will help to take over this event if I am unable to attend. Will either do it on the first or last week of the Friday 11pm.

Complusary needs;

- Proper riding gears

- Clear visor (night run)

- Prior check 1day to 2days before the RUN

- Valid passport (please check)

- Tow truck on standby (Malaysia)

- Appointed road captain with First Aids (take turn)

- Appointed last man with Tyre Repair kits (take turn)

 

* Guys please let me know your views and level of interest.

I have serveral plans, provide me your opinions and I will work on it accorrdingly. Ride Safe. :)

 

Count me in ! :thumb:

Grounding wires u mean ?

 

New bikes dun need them .............

 

Old bikes do make a difference with grounding wires .........

 

Yup,the P.A 2 is grounding plus I dont know what they called it,the rectangle shape thingy...looks like voltage stabilizer...

 

Got fix. Beside lesser engine brake, didn't feel any other differences.... FC no change.

 

Oh,ic...then how abt 'ignite'...I was told that ignite is to enhance plug firing plus increase power at low end which can increase torque? :confused:

I really know nuts abt this 'ignite'...So incase anyone have installed it might want to share?thanks:)

I thought a thought. But the thought I thought wasn't the thought I thought I thought. If the thought I thought I thought had been the thought I thought, I wouldn't have thought so much.

On lah!!! I know some first aid and I can volunteer to be the 'medic'! However, if anyone here was a medic during NS or a doctor or has more hands on experience, he should be the first aider. :thumb: Of cos, carrying the kit should be on a rotational basis.

 

I can also be the photog!

 

But... I might not be able to join most of the time due to eratic work timing.

 

u can also be the sponsor hehehehehe :angel:
