Question

Can a charged nonconductor be discharged by touching it with a conductor.

Answer 1

not completely, just 'cause there is no way for electrons to move through nonconductor material!

Answer 2

nonconductor will slightly discharge... because its difficult for us to charge or discharge nonconductor or insulator... even by touching or kissing... where as conductor charge it self or by rubbing, because friction can create induced charge...

Answer 3

The electric field will be decreased on the non conductor because the charges will separate on the conductor. Some will wander closer over to the oppositely charged non conductor This will reduce the electric field on the non conductor some even though no actual charges were exchanged because it takes work to make the electric field on the conductor.

Answer 4

YES.IF THE CONDUCTOR IS AT HIGH POTENTIAL
