What else can I help you with?
A negatively charged object is placed within a positive electric field. what happens to the object?
Electric Field between positive and negative charges. If the Electric Field in which both the positive and negative charges are present is stronger than the Electric Field between the two charges we are talking about, the the negative charge will move away from the positive charge in that positive direction of the field. If not, then the negative charge will get attracted to the positive charge and stay at the position of the positive charge. It will be pulled toward the source of the electric field. (Novanet)
What is a measure of extra charges that are on an object?
A measure of extra charges on an object is typically referred to as the electric charge. Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter that can be positive or negative, and it is quantified in units of coulombs.
The net charge of an object is its?
total amount of positive or negative electric charge.
What is A POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE charge produces a net charge on a object?
A positive or negative charge produces a net charge on an object when there is an imbalance of electrons (negative charge) or protons (positive charge) within the object, resulting in an overall excess of one type of charge. This excess charge creates an electric field around the object and can interact with other charged objects.
What does an object's electric charge depend on?
An object's electric charge depends on the balance of positive and negative charges within the object. If an object has more electrons than protons, it will have a negative charge. If it has more protons than electrons, it will have a positive charge.
What kind of charge can move from object to object?
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
What is a build up of electric charge?
A buildup of electric charge occurs when there is an excess of electrons (negatively charged particles) on an object. This can happen when electrons are transferred from one object to another through friction or contact, resulting in a net negative or positive charge on the object.
When an object loses electrons it acquires an electric charge of?
It does not acquire any charge, it looses negative charge (the electrons), so becomes net positive.
What is it called when you charge with electricity?
When you charge an object with electricity, it is called electrification. This process involves transferring electric charge to an object, leading to an accumulation of positive or negative charge.
Is there any negative charge on a positive charged object?
Any "object" larger than elementary particles consists of positive and negative charges. If your object has a negative charge, it simply has more particles with a negative charge than particles with a positive charge.
How is discharging in a positive object different in a negative object?
The direction of the flow of electric current. In a positive object, electrons flow to it because it has an abscence of negative charge (aka electrons). In a negative object, it has an abundance of negative charge (electrons) so electrons flow away from it.
How much electric charge does an object have?
An object's electric charge is typically measured in coulombs (C). The electric charge of an object depends on the number of protons and electrons it contains. Protons carry a positive charge, while electrons carry a negative charge. The total charge of an object is the difference between the number of protons and electrons.
