How you know if an object has more electrons or protons?
If you put an electric charge of known magnitude near the object, then it will either be attracted to the charge or repelled away from the charge. They will have the same charge if repulsion is observed or different charges if attraction is observed.
An electrically neutral object can be attracted by a positively charged object because?
A neutral pith ball is still "charged", it just doesn't display excessively charged behavior. Since it is neutral, having nearly equal positive and negative charge, the proximity of the positively charged pith ball still attracts the negative charge present in the ball, inducing polarization moving the ball closer to the positively charged one. Once they make contact, the conductibility of the pith ball quickly accepts excess charge from the other, creating a like charge repulsion.
What happens with electrons when objects become positively or negatively charged?
When an object becomes positively charged, it has lost electrons, resulting in an excess of positive charge. When an object becomes negatively charged, it has gained electrons, resulting in an excess of negative charge. Electrons are responsible for carrying the electrical charge in objects that can become charged.
Why is the electrical charge of an atom positive?
The electrical charge of an atom is positive when it loses electrons. Electrons have a negative charge, so when an atom loses electrons, its overall charge becomes positive due to an imbalance of positively charged protons in the nucleus.
When an object acquires a positive charge by the transfer of electrons what happens to its mass?
It stays the same, the object must have lost electrons and while they do have mass it is so small that is generally ignored. An electron has a mass roughly 1/2000th of a proton or neutron, and those aren't heavy to begin with!The most acceptable answer should be that the mass stays the same.
How is a positive charge usually given to a neutral object?
A neutral object can be given a positive charge by transferring electrons away from the object, leaving a deficiency of negative charges. This can be achieved through methods such as rubbing the object with a material that readily donates electrons, causing the neutral object to become positively charged due to the imbalance of charges.
How you know if an object has more electrons or protons?
If you put an electric charge of known magnitude near the object, then it will either be attracted to the charge or repelled away from the charge. They will have the same charge if repulsion is observed or different charges if attraction is observed.
If you were given a positively-charged rod to charge an object by induction what charge will the object get?
The object will get a negative charge. When a positively-charged rod is brought near the object, it polarizes the charges in the object, causing the electrons to move away from the rod, leaving the object with a net negative charge.
How is discharging in a positive object different in a negative object?
The direction of the flow of electric current. In a positive object, electrons flow to it because it has an abscence of negative charge (aka electrons). In a negative object, it has an abundance of negative charge (electrons) so electrons flow away from it.
What are inducer?
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.
If a neutral metal comb is held near an object with a negative charge the comb will become charged by?
induction. The negative charge on the object will repel the electrons in the metal comb, causing them to move away. This will leave the comb with a positive charge.
Can objects be charged by induction?
I'm really not sure, however I know that when charging by induction, the electrons repel during induction, due to grounding an object. The charge that an object has when it is charged by induction varies depending on the amount of electrons taken away. When an object is charged by induction, the object has the opposite charge of the object inducing the charge.
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.

Do the sign positive or negative of the charge affect how that charge is dissipated?
The dissipation of charge comes from electron flow, regardless of how it was charged. The balance of electrons (which have a negative charge) to protons (which are positively charged) determine if the charge of the object. Protons are in the nucleus and will not leave the nucleus without some sort of nuclear reaction or decay. Also, if protons leave or are added to the nucleus, the element changes. Electrons orbit the nucleus, and are much easier to get to move from one atom to another. By rubbing two objects together, electrons can move from one of the objects to the other. If the objects are separated, then one of them has less electrons than before - this now has a net positive charge (there are more protons than electrons). The other object has a net negative charge (more electrons than protons). If a third object is touched, then the positively charged object may attract some electrons from this third object until the charge is neutralized. If the negative object touches another object, then it will give away the excess electrons so that it has a neutral charge. In both cases it is electron flow, just the direction of flow is different.
What is the movement of electrons to one part of an object by the electric field of another object?
This process is known as electrostatic induction. It occurs when the electric field of an object causes the redistribution of charges in another nearby object, leading to the movement of electrons within that object. This results in one part of the object becoming positively charged and another part becoming negatively charged.
What happens with electrons when objects become positively or negatively charged?
When an object becomes positively charged, it has lost electrons, resulting in an excess of positive charge. When an object becomes negatively charged, it has gained electrons, resulting in an excess of negative charge. Electrons are responsible for carrying the electrical charge in objects that can become charged.
