What three charges can an object have?
positive, negative, and neutral
How did Benjamin Franklin discover positive and negative charges?
Benjamin Franklin is famous for his experiments with electricity. Unfortunately, records don't contain a particular experiment where he discovered positive and negative charges.
Who created the first theory that accounted for positive and negative charges?
Probable Thales from Miletus 2 600 years ago.
How was electromagnetism discovered?
Electromagnetism was discovered, per se, by James Clark Maxwell. He was the first to say that positive and negative charges were regulated by one force.
When Benjamin Franklin rubbed a glass rod with a piece of silk?
The silk picked up positive charges.
What are Molecules that carry positive or negative electrical charges?
Ions.
How do polar molecules differ from non-polar molecules?
Polar molecules have positive charge on one side and negative charge on other side. Non polar molecules have covalent bond and do not have positive and negative charge on one or other side of the molecule.
Do Polar molecules such as water have no negative or positive poles?
No. Polar molecules such as water have both negative and positive poles. Different parts of the molecule have slightly different charges.
Characteristics for polar and nonpolar molecues?
Polar molecules have separation of charges .ie. they have a partial positive and partial negative charges on molecule as in water . Non polar molecules e.g.methane has no separation of positive and negative charges as difference of electronegativity in C and H is very small .
Do ions posses charges?
Yes, ions are charged molecules by definition. There are two types cations (with positive charges) and anions (with negative charges).
Does water have more positive or negative charges?
That depends on what you consider a charge. Electrons/protons? Compute approx. number of molecules, multiply by 10 for positive or negative charges. Water dipols? Compute approx. number of molecules for positive or negative charges. Ions/Anions? (Technically, this is not part of water, but salt solutions within it) Don't know how many milligrams of salt there is in an average cup of water.
Does current electricity have positive and negative charges?
No electric charges may be positive or negative - electrons have a negative charge; ions have a positive charge.
When there is full of negative charges in a jar are there going to be negative charges?
No there are not going to be negative charges there are going to be positive charges!!!!
Does wool have a negative or positive charge?
both because every object has both positive and negative charges but mainly has positive charges.
Molecule with a positive end and a negative end?
Polar molecules have partial negative and partial positive charges on opposing sides. They have a net dipole as a result of the opposing charges.
How can water be a neutral molecule but still have positive and negative chargers on it?
It is because it has positive charges (from 2 H) and negative charges (from O), that the charges balance out (negative + positive = neutral) (2H+) + (O2-) -----> H2O
What is the difference between positive and negative electric fields?
Positive electric fields attract negative charges while negative electric fields attract positive charges.
