That depends on the strength of the positive charge. If I have an atom of gold that has been ionized so that it has a charge of +2, I can neutralize that charge by bombarding the atom with a stream of electrons until it has captured two electrons. If it captures more than two, I could bombard it with a proton stream, which would neutralize it as well as change the atoms atomic number, thereby changing the element that the atom comprises. The higher the positivity, the more electrons you will need to cancel the charge out.
What else can I help you with?
When you put a negatively charged object near a neutral object what will it do?
The negatively charged object will attract the positive charges within the neutral object towards it, causing the neutral object to become polarized. This will result in an attractive force between the negatively charged object and the neutral object.
How is a neutral object attracted to a positively charged object?
When a neutral object is brought close to a positively charged object, the positive object induces a separation of charges within the neutral object, causing the side closer to the positive object to become negatively charged. This attraction between the positively charged object and the induced negative charges on the neutral object results in an overall attractive force between the two objects.
How is a positive charge usually given to a neutral object?
A neutral object can be given a positive charge by transferring electrons away from the object, leaving a deficiency of negative charges. This can be achieved through methods such as rubbing the object with a material that readily donates electrons, causing the neutral object to become positively charged due to the imbalance of charges.
What does a positive and neutral object do?
A positive object is attracted to negative objects and repelled by other positive objects. A neutral object does not attract or repel other objects based on their charge.
What happens when a positive object is close to a neutral object?
Nothing.
How can an object have a neutral charge if part of the object has a positive and a negative charge?
If an object has both positive and negative charges in different regions, it can still have an overall neutral charge if the total amount of positive charge is equal to the total amount of negative charge. This results in a cancellation of the charges, making the object neutral overall.
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.
When there is an equal amount of positive and negative charges on an object what is the object?
As equal amount of positive and negative charges are there then the net charge on the object is the algebraical sum of them and hence it becomes zero. So chargeless.
What three charges can an object have?
positive, negative, and neutral
Where there is an equal amount of positive and negative charges on an object the object is?
Electrically neutral
What do you call to the object that has an equal numbers of positive and negative charge?
An object that has equal numbers of positive and negative charges is called electrically neutral. This means that the overall charge of the object is zero, as the positive and negative charges cancel each other out. Examples include a neutral atom or a neutral molecule.
Do positive and neutral attract each other?
In the context of physics, positive and neutral particles do not attract each other. Positive and neutral particles do not have opposite charges, so they do not exhibit electrostatic attraction. However, positive and neutral particles can interact through other forces, such as gravity or the strong nuclear force.
