What will happen if a light neutral conductor is brought near a negatively charged object?
The negatively charged object will attract electrons in the neutral conductor towards it, causing the electrons to redistribute within the conductor. This redistribution will result in the end of the conductor closest to the negatively charged object becoming slightly negatively charged, while the end farthest from it becomes slightly positively charged. This induces a temporary dipole moment in the neutral conductor.
How does one charge a conductor negatively if you have only a positively charged rod?
You can use induction to charge a conductor negatively with a positively charged rod. Bring the positively charged rod close to the conductor without touching it. This will cause the electrons in the conductor to move away, leaving positive charges behind and making the conductor negatively charged.
What do you call the flow of negatively charged electrons in a conductor?
electric current
What is the process bringing a negatively charged conductor in contact with the earth resulting in the conductor discharging until it is completely neutral called?

Why does a wire that carries an electric current not become electrically charged?
To become electrically charged, a conductor must either have an excess of electrons (negatively charged) or a deficiency of electrons (positively charged). For every free electron moving around in a current-carrying conductor, there is a corresponding proton within the fixed atoms, so the conductor is neither negatively- nor positively-charged, but neutral.

Why do negatively charged electrons flow through conductors?
Because they are in the conductor's electron gas, and thus free to flow.
Is acid a conductor or insulator?
Acid is a conductor of electricity because it contains charged particles that can carry electric current. When acid is dissolved in water, it ionizes into positively and negatively charged ions, allowing electricity to pass through.
Will an object that is negatively charged what will it attract?
Negatively charged objects
