The object is named an 'ANION'.
A CATION has positive charge.
Collectively they are named as 'IONS'.
Negative.
Actually, I believe it is Static Charge.
electrical discharge
the atom with a different number of electrons than protons called "Ion"
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
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.
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.
When an object has 'no' charge, it is neutral.
If the positive and negative charges are equal, then the object has a 'net' neutral charge.
Any "object" larger than elementary particles consists of positive and negative charges. If your object has a negative charge, it simply has more particles with a negative charge than particles with a positive charge.
An object with equal amounts of positive and negative charge is electrically neutral.
both positive and negative objects attract to neutral object so yes positive and neutral will attract each other.
Positive and negative charges would have not effect on an object without charge.
An electrical charge can be one of two opposites, which are traditionally called "positive" and "negative". If there is no charge on an object, the object is said to be "neutral".
yes
positive
positive
By loosing or gaining and electron.
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.
