Garrettguy457 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 If i charge a plate (+) and under that plate (being contained by something so they won't disperse) are (+) charged ions, if there are enough ions then won't the plate float due to the repulsive force of like charges?

Fuzzwood Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 There will also be negative ions and charges present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrettguy457 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 yes the (-) charge of the plate will not be facing the ions tho. and y would there be (-) ions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I posted an answer on the other thread you started ("Ions and I"): http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=34269 Simply said: you cannot have only positive or only negative charges. They always come together. There is a possibility to create a small charge, but that means that for example the positive particles outnumber the negative ones by 0.0001% or so. (No massive difference). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
