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.

What is a negative charged object?

A negative charged object is an object that has an excess of electrons, giving it an overall negative charge. This excess of electrons causes the object to repel other negatively charged objects and attract positively charged objects.


How do charged objects interact with neutral objects?

Charged objects can attract or repel neutral objects without transferring any charge. This is due to the rearrangement of charges within the neutral object in response to the presence of the charged object.


How do charged objects affect neutral objects?

Charged objects can induce a charge separation in neutral objects through the process of polarization, where the charges within the neutral object temporarily redistribute. This redistribution of charges can cause the neutral object to be attracted or repelled by the charged object.


What happens when a negatively charged objects and a positively charged object are brought together?

When a negatively charged object and a positively charged object are brought together, they will attract each other due to their opposite charges. Electrons from the negatively charged object will move towards the positively charged object, equalizing the charge distribution between the two objects. This exchange of electrons will cause the objects to neutralize each other's charge.


If an object has a positive charge what has it done?

If an object has a positive charge, it has lost electrons and now has more protons than electrons. This excess of positive charge causes the object to repel other positively charged objects and attract negatively charged objects.

What does a neutral and a negative charge do?

A neutral charge means that the object has an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in a balanced electrical state. A negative charge means that the object has an excess of electrons, leading to an overall negative electrical charge. Objects with a negative charge can attract positively charged objects and repel other negatively charged objects.


How do neutral objects behave when placed near charged objects?

Neutral objects near charged objects will either be attracted or repelled depending on the charge of the nearby object. If the charged object is positive, neutral objects will be attracted towards it; if it is negative, neutral objects will be repelled. This is due to the redistribution of charges in the neutral object when it interacts with the charged object.


Will an object that is negatively charged what will it attract?

Negatively charged objects

What happens if two objects have the same charge What happens if two objects have different charges Can you think of an example of this?

If two objects have the same charge, they will repel each other. If two objects have different charges, they will attract each other. For example, two negatively charged objects will repel each other, while a positively charged object and a negatively charged object will attract each other.


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.


2.Positively charged objects can only attract objects that are negatively charged?

Any charged object weather positively charged or negatively charged will have an attractive interaction with a neutral object. Neutral objects do not attract or repel each other.


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.
