What happen when a negatively charged item gets near a neutral item?
The neutral object will probably get an induced polarity.
What object is not an electrically neutral?
A object without electrical charges.
An atom or other object that has no overall electrical charge is said to be what?
It is said to be neutral.
Is a negative object attracting a neutral object considered magnetism?

What is charging by polarization?
Charging by polarization is a method of charging an object by briefly moving positive and negative charges within the object to separate them, creating a temporary electric dipole moment. This process can result in a net charge on the object, although the charges return to their original positions once the external influence is removed. It is commonly seen in processes like charging by induction.
How do you produce an induced charge?
An induced charge is created when a charged object is brought near a neutral object, causing the charges within the neutral object to rearrange due to the influence of the external charged object. This redistribution of charges results in one side of the neutral object becoming oppositely charged, leading to the creation of induced charges.
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.
What object can be attracted by a charged object?
A negatively charged object. Also, a neutral object, through an induced separation of charges.
What are three ways static electricity be produced?
Static electricity can be produced through friction, where two materials rub against each other and electrons transfer between them. It can also be generated by conduction, where a charged object comes into contact with a neutral object and causes charge to redistribute. Lastly, static electricity can be induced by polarization, where a charged object interacts with a neutral object and causes the charges within the neutral object to rearrange.
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.
Can be attracted by a positively charged object?
A negatively charged object. Also, a neutral object, through an induced separation of charges.
What happen when a negatively charged item gets near a neutral item?
The neutral object will probably get an induced polarity.
What is differentiate between charging induction from charge polarization?
Charging by induction involves the redistribution of charges on an object when it is brought near a charged object, without direct contact. Charge polarization occurs when charges within a neutral object are rearranged in response to an external electric field, but the overall charge remains neutral.
What object is not an electrically neutral?
A object without electrical charges.
What object is not electrically neutral?
A object without electrical charges.
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.
Which process is the method by which a neutral object obtains an electrical charge?
induction
