It depends on the type of non-charged object.

If the object is made of conductive material, a charged object will induce a separation of charge in the non-charged object. Its net charge will still be zero.

If the object is not conductive, there will be no significant effect.

How does A student puts a negatively charged object against a metal cabinet. Describe what happens to the charge on the object when it touches the metal cabinet?

Well the metal would obviously attract a charged particle for its charge less surface. The only possible way would be placing a positively charged object on the other side of the negative charged object such that it could counter effect the coulombian pull on the negative charge due to the metal. To keep the positive charge in place it would need to place it within oppositely charged electronic plates. This needs more amendments but thats another topic. When a charged object touches metal, the end result is usually what is known as a static shock.


If a neutral object loses negative charge what will the net force be?

If a neutral object loses negative charge, then all we can say is that the objectwill be positively charged. We don't know anything about force until we knowhow much net positive charge it has, what othercharged object is in theneighborhood, what the size and sign of thatone's charge is, and the distancebetween the two objects.


What is a positively charged object?

A positively charged object has an excess of protons relative to electrons. This imbalance of charge causes the object to attract negatively charged particles and repel other positively charged particles.


How does body becomes negatively charge?

It gains electrons. The only charged particles which can freely move from one object to another are electrons. Electrons have negative charge. So adding electrons gives a negative charge, and removing electrons gives the object a positive charge.


What does it mean for an object to have electrical charge?

When an object has electrical charge, it means that it has an imbalance of positive or negative electrons. This imbalance creates an electric field around the object that can interact with other charged objects. Objects with the same charge repel each other, while objects with opposite charges attract each other.

Does a charged object doesn't affect an object that has no charge?

True


When the object is charged by contact what kind of charge does the object have compared with that on the object giving the charged?

When an object is charged by contact, the object getting the charge has the same charge compared with that of the object giving the charge. so if the object giving the charge has a positive charge, so does the object getting the charge


How is the charge on a charged object maintained?

The charge on a charged object is maintained by the movement of electrons within the object. If electrons are added or removed from the object, its charge will change. Charging methods such as friction, conduction, or induction can alter the charge on an object.


When charging an object by conduction what happened to the charge an object?

Electrons move onto the object, giving it a static charge. Apex ;)


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 the charge brought back to normal?

If an object is negatively charged, electrons will eventually drain off the charged object into the environment until the charge is neutral. If an object is positively charged, electrons will be attracted from the environment onto the charged object until its charge is neutral.


What is charge by induction?

Charging by Induction is a method of charging a neutral object, using a charged object, without establishing physical contact between them. _______________________________________________________________________ When a charged object induces a charge on another object without touching it.


When an isolated object becomes charged by induction describe the net charge on the object?

When an isolated object becomes charged by induction, the net charge on the object remains zero. This is because the charge is redistributed within the object but the total amount of charge does not change.


Why is it possibe for an uncharged object to appear charged if no charge has been transfered to it?

An uncharged object can appear charged without charge transfer due to induction. When a charged object is brought near the uncharged object, it causes the charges within the uncharged object to rearrange temporarily, leading to an apparent charge on the surface. This is known as electrostatic induction.


How do you make negative Charge?

by taking a negatively charged object and touching it with the object that you want to be charged


Must an object be electrically charged as well for it to be attracted by a charged object?

Provide your second object is an insulator, - able to carry an electrical charge - it will have an electrical charge induced on it by the presence of a nearby electrically charged object. So, the second object does not need to have its own independent electrical charge, it is sufficient that it can carry one.


What happens when a charged object interacts with an object not charged?

When a charged object interacts with a neutral object, it can induce a charge separation in the neutral object, causing it to become polarized. This can lead to attraction or repulsion between the charged object and the neutral object. However, no transfer of charge occurs between the two objects in this interaction.
