We are made of atoms that contain electric charges. Why we do not feel any electric force in our daily life?
The reason we do not usually feel the electric force in our daily lives is because the electric charges in the atoms are generally balanced. Atoms are made up of positively charged protons, negatively charged electrons, and neutral neutrons. These particles are tightly held together in the nucleus of the atom, while the electrons orbit around it.
The electric force is the force of attraction or repulsion between charged particles. In a neutral atom, the number of protons, which are positively charged, is equal to the number of electrons, which are negatively charged. Since they have opposite charges, they cancel each other out, resulting in a neutral overall charge for the atom.
In our everyday experiences, the vast majority of objects we come into contact with are made up of atoms with balanced charges. This balance of charges means that the electric forces between the atoms cancel each other out, and we don't feel any significant electric force.
However, there are instances where we can feel the electric force, such as when we get an electric shock or when we touch a metal object and experience a static electricity discharge. These situations occur when there is an imbalance of charges, resulting in the electric force being noticeable.
To understand and analyze electric forces in more detail, we use the principles and laws of electromagnetism, such as Coulomb's Law, which describes the force between two charged objects. By calculating the charges and distances involved, we can determine the strength of the electric force. But in our daily lives, the overall neutral charge of objects keeps the electric forces relatively balanced and unnoticed.
