The Neutral is bonded to the ground at the FIRST main breaker, which is usually just as it comes from the meter. In normal residential applications, power comes from the meter, then to a panel. In that panel, the ground and neutral are bonded. If that panel feeds another panel, the second panel has to have its ground and neutral separated. Mobile homes have to have a main breaker outside the house, so the neutral is grounded there, and inside the mobile home, they are separated.

∙ 13y agoAny object in its stable state has equal number of protons and electrons. Therefore it is electrically neutral. When an element loses/gains an electron, the object is said to be charged.

When is an atom electrically charged?
a electically charged atom is also known as a eletron
Ions are electrically charged due to a gain or loss of?
Electrons
What happenes to the charge of and atom when it gains electrons?
when atoms gain electrons they acquire negative charge
What is charge by induction?
Charging by Induction is a method of charging a neutral object, using a charged object, without establishing physical contact between them. _______________________________________________________________________ When a charged object induces a charge on another object without touching it.
What are induced charges?
Due to an object nearby, the electrons move to a specific direction as they are either attracted or repelled by it. Such as if there is a negatively charged object near an uncharged object, the electrons in the uncharged object will move as far away from the negative object as possible, and this is what you called an induced charge.
How does an electrically polarized object different from an electrically charged object?
It will still have a electrical charge.
Does the space around an electrically charged object is an electric field?
yes the space around a electrically charged object is known as electric field......
Why most of the object arround us are electrically charged?
There is no "why", because most of the objectsaround us are not electrically charged.
What happens when a charged object is brought to another oppositely charged object?
There will be flow of electrons from negatively charged object towards the positively charged object making an attempt to make both of them electrically neutral.
Is the space around an electrically charged object is an electric field?
yes
What is an object that is positively charge?
If an object has an unequal number of protons and electrons, then the object becomes electrically charged. An object that is positively charged has more protons than electrons.
When does an object become electrically charged?
When it gains or loses electrons, usually by friction with another object.
Must an object be electrically charged as well for it to be attracted by a charged object?
Provide your second object is an insulator, - able to carry an electrical charge - it will have an electrical charge induced on it by the presence of a nearby electrically charged object. So, the second object does not need to have its own independent electrical charge, it is sufficient that it can carry one.
A grounded electrically conductive object is forced to take the same potential as the what?
When an object is grounded it becomes electrically charged.
How can an electrically charged object attract or repel another charged object with out any contract between the objects?
Electric and magnetic forces are transmitted via photons.
What is a word for an electrically charged atom?
An electrically charged atom is an ion.
What is discharging in physics?
Discharging in electricity & magnetism is the process where an electrically charged object "loses" its electrical charges to become a neutral object.
