The transfer of charge when electrons move from a charged object to another object by direct contact is called what?
conduction
How do objects charge by contact?
Objects become charged when electrons move from object to another
What is rearrangement of electrons on an uncharged object without direct contact with a charged object?
This phenomenon is known as electrostatic induction.
What are some examples of charging by contact?
When a charged object touches another object. Electrons can be transferred through friction. Electrons can also be transferred through contact and conduction. You can charge a neutral object by contact with a charged object. Charging by contact happens when electrons move from one object to a neutral object.
How can materials become electrically charged?
Material can become electrically charged when two different material are brought into close contact, some of the electrons move from one material to another.
The transfer of charge when electrons move from a charged object to another object by direct contact is called what?
conduction
How is charge by induction similar from charge by conduction?
Both conduction and induction involve a movement of electrons. Conduction is the transfer of electrons from a charged object to another object by direct contact. Induction does not involve direct contact. Instead, induction is the movement of electrons from one part of an object to another as a result of the electric field of the second object.

What are some ways in which an object can become charged?
Some ways in which an object can become charged are friction, contact and induction.
What happens to an uncharged object when it comes in contact with a charged object.After the object that was charged lost electrons and the uncharged object gained electrons?
It becomes charged. (negatively)
When a positive electrical charge comes in contact with the neutral electrical charge what happens?
Yes, because the neutral conductor will transfer its electrons to the postitively charged conductor.
How can materials become electrically charged?
Material can become electrically charged when two different material are brought into close contact, some of the electrons move from one material to another.
If a positively charged conductor was brought in contact with the earth it has .?
gained electrons
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 ^^^^^^^^^^^^
What would happen is a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chlorine ion came into contact?
they will loose electrons
