What else can I help you with?
When there is an equal amount of positive and negative charges on an object what is the object?
As equal amount of positive and negative charges are there then the net charge on the object is the algebraical sum of them and hence it becomes zero. So chargeless.
Does a neutral object contain any charge?
No, a neutral object does not contain any net charge. This means that the positive and negative charges within the object balance each other out, resulting in a net neutral charge.
A neutral metal comb is held near an object with a negative charge. What happens to the comb?
The negative charge of the object will induce a positive charge on the comb, causing the comb to be attracted to the object.
When the total charge on an object is zero the object is electrically what?
The object with zero charge is electrically neutral.
What type of charge is capable of attracting a neutral body?
A charged body with a net positive charge can attract a neutral body. When a positively charged object is brought near a neutral object, the positive charges in the neutral object will be attracted to the negative charges in the positively charged object, causing an attraction between the two objects.
Is an object that has no electric charge as a whole is negative or positive?
No. It is neutral.
What do you call to the object that has an equal numbers of positive and negative charge?
An object that has equal numbers of positive and negative charges is called electrically neutral. This means that the overall charge of the object is zero, as the positive and negative charges cancel each other out. Examples include a neutral atom or a neutral molecule.
What objects with equal amounts of positive and negative charge are said to be electrically?
An object with equal amounts of positive and negative charge is electrically neutral.
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.
What does a positive and neutral object do?
A positive object is attracted to negative objects and repelled by other positive objects. A neutral object does not attract or repel other objects based on their charge.
When there is an equal amount of positive and negative charges on an object what is the object?
As equal amount of positive and negative charges are there then the net charge on the object is the algebraical sum of them and hence it becomes zero. So chargeless.
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.
Does a neutral object contain any charge?
No, a neutral object does not contain any net charge. This means that the positive and negative charges within the object balance each other out, resulting in a net neutral charge.
A neutral metal comb is held near an object with a negative charge. What happens to the comb?
The negative charge of the object will induce a positive charge on the comb, causing the comb to be attracted to the object.
What kind of charge can move from object to object?
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.
How can one determine the net charge of an object or particle?
The net charge of an object or particle can be determined by adding up the positive and negative charges present on the object or particle. If the total positive charges are greater than the total negative charges, the object or particle has a positive net charge. If the total negative charges are greater, it has a negative net charge. If the positive and negative charges are equal, the object or particle has a neutral net charge.
How is discharging in a positive object different in a negative object?
The direction of the flow of electric current. In a positive object, electrons flow to it because it has an abscence of negative charge (aka electrons). In a negative object, it has an abundance of negative charge (electrons) so electrons flow away from it.
