Do positive and neutral attract each other?
both positive and negative objects attract to neutral object so yes positive and neutral will attract each other.
If electrons are removed from an object is the object positively or negatively charged?
If electrons leave an object it becomes positive. If an object gains electrons it becomes positive. If it has the same types of charges with the same amount it becomes neutral.
What is the overall charge when an atom has more protons than electrons?
It has a positive charge.
What is charging by polarization?
Charging by polarization is the separation of positive and negative charge. Overall, the object being charged is still electrically neutral.
What type of interaction is there between a charged object and a neutral object?
A charged object attracts the neutral object by polarising it.
How can an object have a neutral charge if part of the object has a positive and a negative charge?
If the positive and negative charges are equal, then the object has a 'net' neutral charge.
What happens when a positive object is close to a neutral object?
Nothing.
Do positive and neutral attract each other?
both positive and negative objects attract to neutral object so yes positive and neutral will attract each other.
What three charges can an object have?
positive, negative, and neutral
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.
How is a positive charge usually given to a neutral object?
Friction will give a positive charge to a neutral object by conduction. This is done by rubbing two different materials together.
Where there is an equal amount of positive and negative charges on an object the object is?
Electrically neutral
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.
Is an object that has no electric charge as a whole is negative or positive?
No. It is neutral.
Why is a neutral object attractred to a charged object?
This is known as electrostatic induction. As charged object (say positive) is brought near by the neutral object the opposite charges i.e. negative would get attracted towards and positive charges would be pushed away. Yet the object is neutral though the charges got separated. Now due to attraction of unlike charges the neutral is attracted towards the charged one.
A neutral object must have?
equal numbers of positive and negative charges.
If electrons are removed from an object is the object positively or negatively charged?
If electrons leave an object it becomes positive. If an object gains electrons it becomes positive. If it has the same types of charges with the same amount it becomes neutral.
