Do most objects tend to be neutral positively charged or negatively charged?

Most things are electrically neutral; they have equal amounts of positive and negative charge. If this wasn't the case, the world we live in would be a much stranger place.

When a negatively charged object approaches a neutral object what sort of charge is induced on the neutral object?
None. That said, most neutral objects we meet in everyday life are composed of positively and negatively charged objects which simply cancel out to give an overall neutral object. This is important because they can create Van der Waal forces, since the positive is a bit stronger than the negative in some areas very close to the object, and vice versa.
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.
Does an object which is positively charged contains all protons and no electrons?
No; at least, not necessarily. To be positively charged, and object simply needs to contain *more* protons than electrons. Inversely, the same is true of negatively charged objects, which only need to have more electrons than protons.
What happens with electrons when objects become positively or negatively charged?
The same thing happens for both, if the electroscope is positvely charged it attracts electrons to the top and sends protons to the leaves causing them to repel and visaversa with negative.
How do charged objects attract neutral objects?
Some neutral objects have a weak dipole force where electron distribution is random across the whole object, and at any one given time, one side may be slightly more positive than the other. This attraction is very weak but it happens frequently especially in solutions.
2.Positively charged objects can only attract objects that are negatively charged?
Any charged object weather positively charged or negatively charged will have an attractive interaction with a neutral object. Neutral objects do not attract or repel each other.
Are neutral attracted to or repelled by positively and negatively charged objects?
Any interaction occur.
How do positively charged objects differ from negatively charged objects?
Positively charged objects have more protons than electrons. Negatively charged objects have more electrons than protons.
Why do two objects repel each other?
anions (negatively charged objects) repel cations (positively charged objects)
How does objects become positively and negatively charged?
By loosing and gaining an electron.
Why do some charged objects pull each other while other charged objects push each other?
The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.
What will happen to the positively charged balloon ad a soft drink can?
The positively charged balloon and a soft drink can will pull negatively charged objects towards them
If some amount of positive charge is given to a soap bubble what will happen to it?
It will be attracted to any negatively charged objects and repelled by any positively charged objects. It will probably be mildly attracted by neutral objects but this would be a much smaller effect.
A repelling force must occur between two charged objects under which conditions?
repelling forces occur with charged objects when the polarities of the objects are charged the same, which means that a positively charged object would repel another positively charged object and a negatively charged object would repel a negatively charged object.
If one body is positively charged and another body is negatively charged what do free electrons tend to do?
Free electrons tend to move away from the negatively-charged body and toward the positively-charged body.They will transfer to the positively charged body in an attempt to create a neutral charge.Move from the negatively charged body to the positively charged body.move from the negatively charged body to the positively charged body!-----------I just finished the Penn Foster test, and the answers for a 100 are (from left to right):A D CA C BD B CC D DD C CA B DC A BD A C Byou actually had two of the answers mixed up but i fixed them--after i got them wrong on my test. so now its 100%
Attractive force between positively and negatively charged objects?
Yes. It really is quite lovely.
Do unlike charges of equal magnitude attract?
Yes."Positively charged objects and negatively charged objects experience an attractive force."My source is linked below.
