When an object gains or loses electrons has it an electric charge?
That depends entirely on sign of the charge. If the object gains a positive charge, then that means the object as lost electrons, since electrons are negatively charge. If the charge is negative, then the object has gained electrons. It is also possible that the charge was created by a movement in protons, which are positively charged, in which case the object may not have lost or gained electrons.
If an object has a positive charge what has it done?
If an object has a positive charge, it has lost electrons and now has more protons than electrons. This excess of positive charge causes the object to repel other positively charged objects and attract negatively charged objects.
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.
When an object has too many electrons what charge does it have?
When an object has too many electrons, it carries a negative charge. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so an excess of electrons on an object results in an overall negative charge.
What kind of charge can move from object to object?
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
What kind of charge does an object that has excess of electrons have?
negative
Why does a positively or negatively charged object have multiples if the fundamental charge?
A charged object has multiples of the fundamental charge because the charge of an object is determined by the number of excess or deficient electrons it has gained or lost. Each electron carries a charge equal to the fundamental charge, so the total charge of the object will be a multiple of this value.
Which quantity of excess electric charge could be found on an object?
The quantity of excess electric charge found on an object is typically measured in coulombs, which represents the total charge of electrons on the object. This excess charge can be positive or negative based on whether the object has gained or lost electrons. The SI unit for charge is the coulomb (C).
Which particles moves when an object acquires a net positive or negative charge?
Electrons are the particles that move when an object acquires a net positive or negative charge. In the case of a positive charge, electrons are removed from the object, leaving an excess of positive charge. Conversely, in the case of a negative charge, electrons are added to the object, creating an excess of negative charge.
When an object gains or loses electrons it has a?
It's safe to say if an object gains or loses electrons its electric charge has changed. If it was overall electrically neutral before it lost electrons, it would then have a positive charge; if it acquired electrons from initially being neutral, it would have a negative charge. At the atomic level this is called ionization.
What charge does an object have when proton and electrons are evenly distributed?
the object will have neutral charge
When does an object become electrically charged?
An object becomes electrically charged when it gains or loses electrons. Gaining electrons gives the object a negative charge, while losing electrons gives it a positive charge. This imbalance of electrons creates an electric charge on the object.
