When an object gains or loses electrons has it an electric charge?
That depends entirely on sign of the charge. If the object gains a positive charge, then that means the object as lost electrons, since electrons are negatively charge. If the charge is negative, then the object has gained electrons. It is also possible that the charge was created by a movement in protons, which are positively charged, in which case the object may not have lost or gained electrons.
If an object has a positive charge what has it done?
It has lost electrons, resulting in a more 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.
When an object gains or loses electrons it has a?
It's safe to say if an object gains or loses electrons its electric charge has changed. If it was overall electrically neutral before it lost electrons, it would then have a positive charge; if it acquired electrons from initially being neutral, it would have a negative charge. At the atomic level this is called ionization.
What charge does an object have when proton and electrons are evenly distributed?
the object will have neutral charge
What does it mean when an object has a positive charge?
When an object has a positive charge, it has a deficiency of electrons.
Why does a element have a plus 2 charge?
An element you have a +2 charge It is had lost electrons. It would have to lose the same number of electrons that its positive charge is. So it would have lost 2 electrons.
How does body becomes negatively charge?
It gains electrons. The only charged particles which can freely move from one object to another are electrons. Electrons have negative charge. So adding electrons gives a negative charge, and removing electrons gives the object a positive charge.
How does an object becomes charged?
An object becomes positively charged if it loses electrons. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so the less of them there are in an object, the stronger the positive charge is.
What charge does an object gain if it gives electrons?
positive charge
When an object is charged by contact what kind of charge does the object have compared with the charge on the object giving the charge?
Assuming both were neutral to start, an object which is charged by contact with another object would have the opposite charge to the object with which the charge transfer occurred as charge is a conserved property. An object that loses electrons to another object would become more positive while and object which gains electrons would become more negatively charged. it can be negative, since the electrons are the only ones to move from a charge to the object positive charge does NOT move thus once it gave the electrons, the thing will get a positive charge while the object will be a negative charge pretty much i said it in easier words from the paragraph above ^^^^^^^^^^^^
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.
