Charges create an electric field around them. This electric field creates a force that attracts or repels other charges. The field attracts opposite charges or repels same charges. The force F= q1q2 zc/2r2 .

How is water molecule like a magnet?

A water molecule is like a magnet in that it has a positive and negative charge distribution. The oxygen atom in water has a slightly negative charge, while the hydrogen atoms have a slightly positive charge, creating a polar molecule. This polarity allows water molecules to attract each other and form hydrogen bonds.


How can you use a balloon with a negative charge to find out whether the charge on another balloon is positive or negative?

If the balloon with a negative charge is brought near the other balloon and they repel each other, it means the other balloon has a negative charge. If they attract each other, it means the other balloon has a positive charge. This happens due to the interaction of opposite charges (positive and negative) or similar charges (negative and negative).


Explain how a water molecule can be attracted to both a positive ion and a negative ion when dissolving an ionic compound?

The shape and charge distribution in a water molecule cause it to have a permanent dipole moment, which consist of a positive electric charge and a negative charge separated by a distance in space. Therefore, the part of a water molecule that corresponds to the negative charge of its dipole moment is attracted to positive ions, and the part of a water molecule that corresponds to the positive charge of its dipole moment is attracted to negative ions.


If an object has more electrons than protons it has what type of charge?

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.


Electrons carries a positive or negative charge?

Yes, they have a negative charge. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge, they are neutral.

Does electromagnetic force attract a positive charge towards a negative charge?

Yes, the electromagnetic force between a positive and a negative charge is attractive. The positive charge will be pulled towards the negative charge due to the force of attraction between opposite charges.


Is negative the charge that attracts electrons?

Electrons are negative. so no positive charges attracts electrons because the opposite charges attract each other like ( + - ) but same charges repel like ( ++ ) or ( - - )


What happens before there is a lightning discharge?

The cloud's strong negative charge attracts the ground's positive charge


Why a bob attracts them repel when a positive charge body brought near to it?

A positive charge body near a neutral bob will attract the negative charges in the bob, causing them to move towards the positive charge. This creates a temporary charge separation in the bob, with the side closer to the positive charge becoming positively charged, resulting in an overall attraction.

How does a negative point charge behave in an electric field produced by a positive point charge?

A negative point charge will be attracted towards a positive point charge in an electric field.


What does a positive electric chrge do?

A positive electric charge creates an electric field around it and interacts with other charges. It repels other positive charges and attracts negative charges. Positive charges move towards areas of lower voltage in an electric field.


A positively charged ion will bond with?

A negative charge attracts a positive charge and repels a negative charge. OPPOSITES ATTRACT ;)


How do objects with the opposite charge affect each other?

Objects with opposite charges attract each other. The positive charge on one object attracts the negative charge on the other object, causing them to move towards each other. This is known as the electrostatic force.


Are polar bonds positive?

Polar bonds do have a partial positive and partial negative charge on the atoms involved. The more electronegative atom attracts electrons more strongly, resulting in an uneven distribution of charge.


What holds protons together in an atom?

The protons are a positive charge and electrons are a negative charge wich allows them to attracts to each other holding them together.
