Either the numbers of elementary positive and negative charges in it are

precisely equal, or else an impact has caused it to jump out of <DRIVE>.

What is neutral object?

The object without charge is called Neutral object.


What a neutral object is?

a neutral object is an object that has the same amount of positives as negatives


Why does a neutral object attract a neutral object?

In a electrostatically neutral object there are equal numbers of charged particles (electrons and protons).


Why can you touch a neutral bar?

Neutral would refer to some object or circuit which has the same electric potential as the relative object. A "neutral bar," would mean a conductor which has no electric potential. If your body has no electric potential, then the potentials will equal, and no energy will be transferred.


In order for an object to have neutral buoyancy what would the relationship between the density of the object and the density of the fluid have to be?

They have to be the same.


Why is a neutral object attractred to a charged object?

This is known as electrostatic induction. As charged object (say positive) is brought near by the neutral object the opposite charges i.e. negative would get attracted towards and positive charges would be pushed away. Yet the object is neutral though the charges got separated. Now due to attraction of unlike charges the neutral is attracted towards the charged one.


Why is a neural object attracted to a charged object?

I assume you mean "neutral object". The answer is that the charged object will induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.


When there is an equal amount of positive and negative charges on an object what is the object?

As equal amount of positive and negative charges are there then the net charge on the object is the algebraical sum of them and hence it becomes zero. So chargeless.


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.


What type of interaction is there between a charged object and a neutral object?

A charged object attracts the neutral object by polarising it.


What can you say about the number of protons and electrons on a neutral object?

The numbers of protons and of electrons in a neutral object are the same.


How can an object have a neutral charge if part of the object has a positive and a negative charge?

If the positive and negative charges are equal, then the object has a 'net' neutral charge.
