What happens when objects lose electrons?
electrons have a negative charge, so think of each electron as -1 protons are +1 and neutrons are...well they're neutral, so they're 0 if you lose electrons then it becomes more positive, so if it was already neutral then it will become positively charged it could be that it was on -1 already as a total charge (so it was already negatively charged), so if this atom loses an electron then it will just become neutral
What happens when you bring a negatively charged rod near a piece of metal.?
protons in the metal move toward the rod.
Does a negative charge repel a uncharged object?
-- They can if the gravitational force of attraction is greater than the electrostatic force of repulsion between them. -- They also can if they're connected by a rubber band that has been stretched. -- But if the only force between them is the electrostatic force due to their charges, then they must always repel, because their charges have the same sign.
Why do electrician screwdrivers have rubber handle?
This is my opinion. When using a screwdriver, you would have to twist and turn. This creates friction. by creating friction, the screwdrivers are getting negatively charged. But, rubbers are insulators(objects that hold elections loosely. Mostly non-metals). this means that rubber can hold electrons tightly; preventing any electrons from flowing. So by using rubber, electricians or one would have protection from electric shock. but if there were no rubber, there would be sparks from negatively charged screwdriver when it is attracted to a positive charged or neutral object. The rubber hold the electrons which prevent electric shock. ~Anonymous
How is wearing rubber soled shoes an example of electric charge?
It is not. Rubber is a bad conductor of electricity so it does not let an electric current pass through it.

Where is the positive charge located on a Yamaha virago 1100 battery?
The battery is inside abattery box hold by rubber band, the battery box has to be slide out to reach the positive terminal.

Why a balloon now negatively charged?
When you rub a balloon onto your hair or piece of clothing, the balloon collects the electrons (negative charge) from the hair or clothing you rubbed it on. The balloon now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge) making it have a negative charge. The hair or clothing has more protons than electrons making it have a positive charge.
What is a charge on a rubber rod?
an electrostatic negative charge
What happens when two neutral objects are rubber together?
They attract.
What is the polarity of rubber?
The polarity or charge of rubber when rubbed with the appropriate material is negative.
If you rub hard rubber with piece of wool what charge is on the piece of rubber?
Negative

What happens when a rubber rod is rubbed with a piece of fur?
normally, the rubber rod and the peice of fur has an equal number of protons and electrons, making each balanced. When you rub these two together, the rubber rod takes on electrons from the fur, giving the rod more electrons than normal. A negative charge, where as the fur loses electrons creating a positive charge.
Depends on the case. Rubber or silicone cases can block the charge. Extremely thick cases can also block the charge.?

How can you tell the difference between positive and negative wires?
usually, positive wires have a blue rubber coating, whereas negative wires have a red rubber coating.
