Question

The leakage of electric charge from sharp point on a charged conductor is known as ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Upon touching, they get charged with the same charge as the conductor, and are then repelled away. ... This causes a slow leakage of the charge on the conductor. The steady stream of air molecules moving away from the sharply pointed conductor is called the electric wind.

Answer 2

The leakage of electric charge from a sharp point on a charged conductor is known as ​electric wind.

Explanation:

• When an electric charge accumulates near the sharp edges of a conductor, then the charge density becomes higher at this point.
• Due to the high charge density in this area, the charge leaks.
• This is the reason the top ends of the lightning conductor are made pointy and have a sharp edge so that the charge escapes from this point
