How can you save your equipment when the neutral wire becomes disconnected?
There is nothing to save. When the neutral wire becomes disconnected the equipment just stops operating. Disconnect the power supply, reconnect the neutral and the equipment will start operating again.
What charge does a nuetron have?
It has a neutral charge.
What is the purpose of neutral contactor?
Presumably, you are asking the purpose of a neutral conductor, rather than 'contactor'?A alternating-current supply has two conductors, a lineconductor and a neutral conductor. The line conductor is at system potential (e.g. 230 V in Europe), whereas the neutral conductor is at approximately earth (ground) potential because it is earthed (grounded) at the supply transformer. The neutral conductor acts as the 'return' path to the transformer, carrying the same load current as the line conductor.
What does it mean to have diction that is gender neutral?

How an electroscope works to detect static electricity?
When the probe of the electroscope is brought near a charge, free charges in the electroscope rod are either attracted to or repelled from the probe. This leaves a net charge at the other end of the rod (since the electroscope as a whole is electrically neutral). Since the other end of the rod is charged, its parts repel each other (since like charges repel). Thus, the gold-leaf indicators spread apart.
What kind of charge the electroscope can detect?
The sphere of an electroscope is always neutral at first. Let's say a negative ebonite rod is brought close but not touching the sphere. (The entire electroscope is neutral). The electrons in the electroscope will want to repell the electrons in the rod so the electrons in the electroscope move down into the 2 leaves and then repell because there is a high concentration of negatives. When the ebonite rod is removed, the leaves go back to their straight position. The electroscope is always neutral but only a charge distibution occured. The number of protons and electrons remain the same. However if a charged rod touches the sphere then the electroscope will be charged because it a conductor and the charge from the rod transfers to the electroscope because the rod's caharges want to attarct to the electroscope's opposite charges. This is called charging by contact.
How does an electroscope work to detect static electricity?
Electroscopes detect electric charge by the motion of a test object due to the Coulomb electrostatic force. The electric potential or voltage of an object equals its charge divided by its capacitance, so electroscopes can be regarded as crude voltmeters. The accumulation of enough charge to detect with an electroscope requires hundreds or thousands of volts, so electroscopes are only used with high voltage sources such as static electricity and electrostatic machines.
