electric charge
What else can I help you with?
The charge an object has when it gained electrons is it a positive charge?
If you mean an atom, if it gains electrons it becomes more negative, so a negative charge. If you really mean an ion, it depends on the charge of the ion.
Why does a positively or negatively charged object have multiples if the fundamental charge?
A charged object has multiples of the fundamental charge because the charge of an object is determined by the number of excess or deficient electrons it has gained or lost. Each electron carries a charge equal to the fundamental charge, so the total charge of the object will be a multiple of this value.
When an object has too many electrons what charge does it have?
When an object has too many electrons, it carries a negative charge. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so an excess of electrons on an object results in an overall negative charge.
Does a negatively charged object have fewer electrons than an object that is neutral?
No, a negatively charged object has the same number of electrons as a neutral object. The negative charge is due to an excess of electrons on the object, meaning it has gained extra electrons to become negatively charged.
Which quantity of excess electric charge could be found on an object?
The quantity of excess electric charge found on an object is typically measured in coulombs, which represents the total charge of electrons on the object. This excess charge can be positive or negative based on whether the object has gained or lost electrons. The SI unit for charge is the coulomb (C).
When an object gains or loses electrons has it an electric charge?
That depends entirely on sign of the charge. If the object gains a positive charge, then that means the object as lost electrons, since electrons are negatively charge. If the charge is negative, then the object has gained electrons. It is also possible that the charge was created by a movement in protons, which are positively charged, in which case the object may not have lost or gained electrons.
The charge an object has when it gained electrons is it a positive charge?
If you mean an atom, if it gains electrons it becomes more negative, so a negative charge. If you really mean an ion, it depends on the charge of the ion.
Does negatively charged mean it has gained extra electrons?
If you mean negatively charged ion - then yes
Charge of an atom that has gained electrons?
It is a negative charge
What is the charge on an atom that has gained 5 electrons?
Each electron has a 1- charge, so an atom that has gained 5 electrons has a charge of 5-.
Why does a positively or negatively charged object have multiples if the fundamental charge?

Each electron carries a charge equal to the fundamental charge, so the total charge of the object will be a multiple of this value.
When an object has too many electrons what charge does it have?
When an object has too many electrons, it carries a negative charge. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so an excess of electrons on an object results in an overall negative charge.
What charge does an ion have?
An ion can have a positive charge (cation) if it has lost electrons, or a negative charge (anion) if it has gained electrons. The charge of an ion is determined by the number of electrons it has gained or lost during the process of ionization.
Does a negatively charged object have fewer electrons than an object that is neutral?
No, a negatively charged object has the same number of electrons as a neutral object. The negative charge is due to an excess of electrons on the object, meaning it has gained extra electrons to become negatively charged.
Which quantity of excess electric charge could be found on an object?
The quantity of excess electric charge found on an object is typically measured in coulombs, which represents the total charge of electrons on the object. This excess charge can be positive or negative based on whether the object has gained or lost electrons. The SI unit for charge is the coulomb (C).
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.
What charge does an atom that has gained electrons?
Positive
