Any material has electrical charges. A conductor will usually not have more or less charges than a non-conductor. The relevant charges - often electrons - are simply relatively free to move around.

What is the charge density for a conductor?
The charge density inside a conductor is always zero
Will a solid metal sphere hold greater charge then a hollow sphere of the same diameter where does the charge reside in each case?
both will have same charge, in both caes charge will reside on surface.
How does one charge a conductor negatively if you have only a positively charged rod?
1ST. ground the conductor 2nd. move the positive rod CLOSE but NOT TOCUH the conductor u r trying to charge. 3. REMOVE the grouding wire on the conductor
Why is difficult to change a metallic conductor which is held with hands?
It is difficult to charge a metallic conductor that is held with hands because the charge generated will be grounded through our bodies.
Material through which charge can easily flow?
Conductor.

The ability of a conductor to take on a charge is called its?
The ability of a conductor to take on charge is called its conductance.
Which metal serves the best conductor of electric charge?
the metal that serves as the best conductor of electric charge is the METAL
When an electric charge moves through a conductor there is an electric in the conductor?
current
Why charge always reside on outer surface?
Because in a conductor charges are free to move and since like charges repel each other they move as far as they can from each other, which is the surface.
What is the property of a conductor that opposes the flow of charge passing through it is called?
property of a conductor that opposes the flow of charge passing through it
Where does the excess charge on a copper rod flow to if you don't use an insulator?
If you connect the rod with a conductor, part of the charge will flow to the conductor.
Why is it difficult to charge a metallic conductor which is held with the hands why is it easy charged a non conductor although it is held by the hands?
why is it difficult to charge a metallic conductor which is held with the hands ?why is it easy charged a non conductor although it is held by hte hands
If a conductor is placed in a uniform electric field does the conductor gain any charge?
The conductor will not gain any charge that is not placed on it by you. However, the electric field will displace the free charges already within the conductor (by its nature) such that there will be a non-uniform surface charge density. Remember: a conductor must have zero electric field inside it, so the charges rearrange to cancel the external E-field. Again, this only repositions the existing charge, but it does not add or remove any charge.
How does one charge a conductor negatively if you have only a positively charged rod?
1ST. ground the conductor 2nd. move the positive rod CLOSE but NOT TOCUH the conductor u r trying to charge. 3. REMOVE the grouding wire on the conductor
Is a conductor a thing that electric charge can flow easliy through?
Yes, that's the definition of "conductor".
