Neutral metal objects, especially in industry, are are often coated with electrically charged paint or powder particles. How do these particles stick on the metal objects ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The electrically charged paint/powder particles charge the neutral metal surface oppositely by the process of induction. The particles stick on the metal objects on of force of attraction between unlike charges.

Assertion: Not net charge can stay in volume of metallic object when the same is in electrostatic condition. Net charge of metallic object appears on its outer surface. Reason: When a metallic object attains electrostatic condition then electric field intensity becomes zero everywhere inside the volume of the metallic object.
