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.

A charged object does not affect an object that has no charge?

This statement is not accurate. A charged object can still interact with an object that has no charge through electrostatic forces. The charged object can induce a charge on the neutral object and attract or repel it, depending on the type of charges involved.


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.


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.


How does magnetism cause an object to move?

When a magnetic field interacts with a magnetic object, it can exert a force on the object, causing it to move. This occurs because the magnetic field induces a magnetic force on the object based on the orientation and strength of the magnets involved. The object will move in response to this force, either attracting or repelling depending on the alignment of the magnetic poles.


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.

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

Assuming both were neutral to start, an object which is charged by contact with another object would have the opposite charge to the object with which the charge transfer occurred as charge is a conserved property. An object that loses electrons to another object would become more positive while and object which gains electrons would become more negatively charged. it can be negative, since the electrons are the only ones to move from a charge to the object positive charge does NOT move thus once it gave the electrons, the thing will get a positive charge while the object will be a negative charge pretty much i said it in easier words from the paragraph above ^^^^^^^^^^^^


The transfer of charge when electrons move from a charged object to another object by direct contact is called what?

The transfer of charge when electrons move from a charged object to another object by direct contact is called conduction.


What is a charge that stay on an object instead of flowing in a current?

A charge that does not move is called a static charge.


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

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


What kind of charge does an object with more proton's than electrons have?

It has a positive charge.


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 can you charge an object negatively with only the help of a positive charge?

To charge an object negatively with the help of a positive charge, you can use a process called induction. By bringing a positively charged object close to the object you want to charge negatively, the positive charge will attract the negative charges in the object, causing them to move away. This leaves the object with a net negative charge.


What kind of charge does an object have if it has more protons than electrons?

The " object " would have a positive charge because protons are positively charged./


What kind of charge does not move?

Static electricity is the non-moving kind.


What kind of charge does an object that has excess of electrons have?

negative


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 does the movement of charge affect the overall charge of objects?

It affects it by adding diversity to the objects nucleus and outer shell. It also produces a negative charge which focuses primarily on the Teflon don.
