When an object has 'no' charge, it is neutral.
A neutron. This is a part of an atom in the nucleus with the Protons. Protons carry a Positive charge, and the electrons in the electron cloud outside the nucleus carry a negative charge.
When an atom has an equal amount of electrons and protons.
Neutral is the term for an object with no overall electrical charge.
A neutron has zero charge.
It still has mass.
A neutron.
Negatively charged ion?
They balance the atomic charge and electrical forces.
The object is named an 'ANION'. A CATION has positive charge. Collectively they are named as 'IONS'.
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.
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.
An object becomes positively charged if it loses electrons. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so the less of them there are in an object, the stronger the positive charge is.
If the positive and negative charges are equal, then the object has a 'net' neutral charge.
Any "object" larger than elementary particles consists of positive and negative charges. If your object has a negative charge, it simply has more particles with a negative charge than particles with a positive charge.
Positive and negative charges would have not effect on an object without charge.
They balance the atomic charge and electrical forces.
yes
positive
By loosing or gaining and electron.
positive
The object is named an 'ANION'. A CATION has positive charge. Collectively they are named as 'IONS'.
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.
negative
Alll an electroscope does is tell you if there is charge
