If the object remains ungrounded it will remain charged.

A charged object can lose its charge by grounding it (moving electrons from a highly charged object to a lowly charged one) or by getting like charges from another object.

When the object is charged by contact what kind of charge does the object have compared with that on the object giving the charged?

When an object is charged by contact, the object getting the charge has the same charge compared with that of the object giving the charge. so if the object giving the charge has a positive charge, so does the object getting the charge


If you were given a positively-charged rod to charge an object by induction what charge will the object get?

When an object is rubbed with a charged rod, the object shares the charge so that both have a charge of the same sign. In contrast, charging by induction gives an object the charge opposite that of the charged rod. so your object would be negatively charged.


How an object become positively charged?

An object becomes positively charged if it loses electrons. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so the less of them there are in an object, the stronger the positive charge is.


Must an object be electrically charged as well for it to be attracted by a charged object?

Provide your second object is an insulator, - able to carry an electrical charge - it will have an electrical charge induced on it by the presence of a nearby electrically charged object. So, the second object does not need to have its own independent electrical charge, it is sufficient that it can carry one.


Can objects be charged by induction?

I'm really not sure, however I know that when charging by induction, the electrons repel during induction, due to grounding an object. The charge that an object has when it is charged by induction varies depending on the amount of electrons taken away. When an object is charged by induction, the object has the opposite charge of the object inducing the charge.

A charged object does not affect an object that has no charge?

It depends on the type of non-charged object. If the object is made of conductive material, a charged object will induce a separation of charge in the non-charged object. Its net charge will still be zero. If the object is not conductive, there will be no significant effect.


How is the charge brought back to normal?

If an object is negatively charged, electrons will eventually drain off the charged object into the environment until the charge is neutral. If an object is positively charged, electrons will be attracted from the environment onto the charged object until its charge is neutral.


What is charge by induction?

Charging by Induction is a method of charging a neutral object, using a charged object, without establishing physical contact between them. _______________________________________________________________________ When a charged object induces a charge on another object without touching it.


Why is it possibe for an uncharged object to appear charged if no charge has been transfered to it?

Charge is induced in the object when another charged object brought near it. this happens due to charge separation in the object thus making it polar.


How do you make negative Charge?

by taking a negatively charged object and touching it with the object that you want to be charged


Does a charged object doesn't affect an object that has no charge?

True

An electrically neutral object can be attracted by a positively charged object because?

A neutral pith ball is still "charged", it just doesn't display excessively charged behavior. Since it is neutral, having nearly equal positive and negative charge, the proximity of the positively charged pith ball still attracts the negative charge present in the ball, inducing polarization moving the ball closer to the positively charged one. Once they make contact, the conductibility of the pith ball quickly accepts excess charge from the other, creating a like charge repulsion.
