When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object does the neutral object gain or lose electrons or protons?
It gains electrons. So if it gains electrons, then the neutral object becomes negatively charged as well.
When a person standing on an insulating stool touches a charged insulated conductor is the conductor discharges completely?
When Two Insulated Objects touch each other they are not discharged!!
If a negatively charged polyethylene strip touches a neutral pith ball what charge will it have?
the pith ball takes on a negative charge also, the charge transfers to the pith ball from the strip
What do you do when neutral water touches your skin?
nothing
Is polypropylene a good conductor of heat?
Yes. It explodes when it touches heat.
How do objects become negatively charged using the contact method?
when a negatvely charged object touches a neutrally charged object electrons move to the neutraly charged object making it negativly charged!
Why the neutral line spark when touches the ground in the panel or other circuit?
The neutral conductor, or "grounded conductor", takes the unbalanced current back to its origin if wired correctly. If it finds a ground path before it makes it back to the panel, it will take it. If you take a neutral off its path back to a panel, and happen to touch a grounded surface, such as a metal case, you will become the ground path. That being being said for safety's sake, I will continue. The neutral wire completes the circuit. A neutral wire unattached to a neutral bar is an extension of the "hot" wire, or ungrounded wire, and will spark if grounded. If that unattached neutral touched a different circuit of a different phase, then what ever was connected between the hot and neutral wires just went poof. I hope that helps a little.
Why must a sphere rod and leaves of an electroscope be a conductor?
When a negatively charged rod touches the sphere of the electroscope, negative sharge spreads throughout the metal. Since the leaves are both negatively charged, the free ends repel and move away from each other. When a positvely rod touchs the sphere, negative charges move toward the sphere, causing the leaves to be positively charged. hope this helps :)
Why do leaves of gold leaf electroscope expand when a charged body touches it?
They both get charged with the same polarity, and therefore repel each other.
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.
Three methods to charge an object?
Charging by friction - this is useful for charging insulators. If you rub one material with another (say, a plastic ruler with a piece of paper towel), electrons have a tendency to be transferred from one material to the other. For example, rubbing glass with silk or saran wrap generally leaves the glass with a positive charge; rubbing PVC rod with fur generally gives the rod a negative charge. Charging by conduction - useful for charging metals and other conductors. If a charged object touches a conductor, some charge will be transferred between the object and the conductor, charging the conductor with the same sign as the charge on the object. Charging by induction - also useful for charging metals and other conductors. Again, a charged object is used, but this time it is only brought close to the conductor, and does not touch it. If the conductor is connected to ground (ground is basically anything neutral that can give up electrons to, or take electrons from, an object), electrons will either flow on to it or away from it. When the ground connection is removed , the conductor will have a charge opposite in sign to that of the charged object.
What is the answer. There are three identical metal spheres labeled A, B and A has a charge of 1C while B and Care neutral. If A touches B and then is removed, and then B touches C and is removed what is the charge on C?
C are***
