If a neutral object loses negative charge, then all we can say is that the object
will be positively charged. We don't know anything about force until we know
how much net positive charge it has, what othercharged object is in the
neighborhood, what the size and sign of thatone's charge is, and the distance
between the two objects.
What else can I help you with?
Is lightning a positive or negative force of nature?
Lightning is a negative force of nature.
What is the internal structure of an atom?
The atom is a basic unit of matter that consists of a dense central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. The atomic nucleus contains a mix of positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons. The electrons of an atom are bound to the nucleus by the electromagnetic force
What is the force that pushes object apart?
There's no force that pushes electrically neutral objects apart, but if the objects in question have a net charge, then the force known as electromagnetism will either push similarly charged objects apart, or pull oppositely charged objects together.
What is the retarding force?
A force which (hampers or hinders) retards motion is a retarding force. Say for example if a ball is in motion and you sligtly touch it with a finger then it slows down before coming to a halt.So, you or to be more precise force excerted by your finger is a retarding force .
What are four contact forces?
Four contact forces are normal force (force exerted perpendicular to the surface), frictional force (force opposing motion), tension force (force in a stretched object), and applied force (force applied to an object by a person or another object).
What is true about an object pulled inward in an electric field does it have negative charge object has charge of different field object has neutral charge or object has a charge same field?
An object being pulled inward in an electric field typically implies the object has a positive charge, as oppositely charged objects are attracted to each other. If the object has a negative charge, it would be pushed away from the field. If the object has a neutral charge, it would not experience any force in the field.
Does a neutral object repel a positive object?
No. The actual result is the opposite. If a charged object is brought into the vicinity of a neutral object, normally the two objects attract. The attraction is a consequence of polarization. A neutral object is still composed of many charges associated with the electrons and nuclei of the atoms of the object. If it is a conductor, then electrons will easily move around the conductor in an electric field, but even a nonconductor allows some small movement of the electrons of the atoms. In either case, the movement is such that the electrons in the neutral object tend to shift opposite to the direction of any applied field, i.e. towards a positive charge if a positive object causes the field or away from a negatively charged object. For a neutral object, "polarization" is the charge separation on the object that is caused by the external electric field, for instance a nearby negative object. (Polarization is, by definition, the charge separation induced by an external field and this is a materials property that is different for different materials.) When that charge separation takes place, the electrons (negative) will move somewhat away from a negative object nearby and leave a net positive on the part of the neutral object closest to the negative object. The neutral object has equal amounts of positive and negative charge, but the exposed positive charge is closer to the negative object and thus feels a greater force. There is both an attractive force and a repulsive force acting on different regions of the neutral object, but attraction always is greater because the region experiencing the attraction is closest to the external charge causing the polarization.) In general, a charge (positive or negative), brought near a neutral object will result in polarization of the neutral object and an attractive force between the two object. Polarization forces are larger when the neutral object is a conductor, but for nonconducting materials it is smaller and depends on the type of material.
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.
Do positive and neutral attract each other?
In the context of physics, positive and neutral particles do not attract each other. Positive and neutral particles do not have opposite charges, so they do not exhibit electrostatic attraction. However, positive and neutral particles can interact through other forces, such as gravity or the strong nuclear force.
Why is a neutral object attractred to a charged object?
This is known as electrostatic induction. As charged object (say positive) is brought near by the neutral object the opposite charges i.e. negative would get attracted towards and positive charges would be pushed away. Yet the object is neutral though the charges got separated. Now due to attraction of unlike charges the neutral is attracted towards the charged one.
What can be attracted by a positively charged object?
A negatively charged object. Also, a neutral object, through an induced separation of charges.
What type of interaction is there between a charged object and a neutral object?
A charged object can attract or repel a neutral object through electrostatic interactions. The charged object can induce a temporary charge separation in the neutral object, resulting in an attractive force between them.
Can object with a static charge can attract only other charged objects?
No. It can exert a much weaker force on neutral objects, due to an induced separation of charges - that is, the charged object will cause a separation of charges in the uncharged object, thus creating an electric dipole.
How do charged objects attract neutral objects?
Some neutral objects have a weak dipole force where electron distribution is random across the whole object, and at any one given time, one side may be slightly more positive than the other. This attraction is very weak but it happens frequently especially in solutions.
Does a negative charge repel a uncharged object?
-- They can if the gravitational force of attraction is greater than the electrostatic force of repulsion between them. -- They also can if they're connected by a rubber band that has been stretched. -- But if the only force between them is the electrostatic force due to their charges, then they must always repel, because their charges have the same sign.
What happens to an object with an positive charge and an object with an negative charge are near together?
When a positively charged object and a negatively charged object are near each other, they experience an attractive force due to their opposite charges. This attraction causes them to move closer together, and if they are close enough, they can transfer charge and neutralize each other. As a result, they may eventually come to a state of equilibrium, where their charges balance out, leading to a neutral state.
How is a neutral object attracted to a positively charged object?
When a neutral object is brought close to a positively charged object, the positive object induces a separation of charges within the neutral object, causing the side closer to the positive object to become negatively charged. This attraction between the positively charged object and the induced negative charges on the neutral object results in an overall attractive force between the two objects.
