What is the opposite of a static charge?
The opposite of a static charge is a neutral charge, where the overall number of positive and negative charges is balanced and there is no net charge present.
Is the charge of electron equal but opposite to the charge of neutron?
A neutron has no charge. That's why it is called a neutron; the neu part stands for neutral, meaning without charge. The charge of an electron, which is -1, is equal and opposite to the charge of a proton, which is +1.
Why does the charge of protons electrons and neutrons become neutral?
Charge of electron is negative and charge of proton is positive and charge of neutron is neutral because it contains proton and neutron
What charge does an object always become after you ground it?
After grounding an object, it will always have a neutral charge. Grounding allows excess charge to flow into the Earth, leaving the object with an overall neutral charge.
Why is an atom neutral dispite having charged partricals?
The charge of the protons is exactly opposite to the charge of the same number of electrons.
Is true or false electron and neutron have opposite charge?
False, electrons are negatively charged whereas neutrons have no charge. An electron is of opposite charge to a proton which has a positive charge.
What is the role of neutral charge?
A neutral charge is often confused with a negative charge. I real neutral charge is an earth connection. The purpose of this is to stop any electrical shock to a person in the event of electrical fault causing the appliance to become charged.
What charge does a neutral substance gain compared to the object brought near it?
A neutral substance acquires opposite charge to the object brought near it. For example, if a negatively charged object is brought close to a neutral substance, it will induce a positive charge on the neutral substance through the process of electrostatic induction.
What is the number of electrons in a neutral atom equals?
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The opposite charge between protons and electrons is what allows for a neutral atom.
What is the net charge of a dipole?
The net charge of a dipole is zero because it consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by a distance. This creates a neutral overall charge.
What does it mean if atom has a neutral charge?
The term 'neutral charge' is meaningless, if an atom is neutral then it has no charge if it has charge then it can not be neutral. 'Neutral' means that it will not be deflected in an elecromagnetic field. Particles inside atoms are either electrically neutral (neutrons) or are 'charged' (protons and electrons). being charged means that they would be affected by an electrical field. If an electrical field is applied to either protons and electrons, they are deflected in opposite directions. Therefore protons and electrons have opposite charges. The convention is that protons have a '+' charge, and the electrons a '-' charge, although any suitable description (up/down, black/white, left/ght etc) could be used as long as one description was the opposite of the other. All atoms are neutral, as they have the same number of + protons as - electrons in them. If an atom loses or gains one or more electrons it becomes iteslf charged and is then known as an 'ion'.
What is the opposite of protons?
Protons are particles with a positive electric charge. As of now, science has concluded that there is no proton opposite (or, as we call them, 'antimatter particle') residing in the nucleus. However, some theoretical physicists theorize that the antimatter particle for a proton could be a subatomic particle called a 'negatron'. A neutron, incidentally, is neutral, and has no overall charge, and is not the opposite of a proton, contrary to assumed mass belief.
