When an object loses electrons it acquires an electric charge of?
It does not acquire any charge, it looses negative charge (the electrons), so becomes net positive.
Why is a rice grain tied to a thread is attracted to a plastic comb?
When a plastic comb is charged by rubbing it against a cloth or hair, it becomes negatively charged. The rice grain acquires a positive charge when it comes into contact with the negatively charged comb. Opposite charges attract each other, causing the rice grain to be attracted to the plastic comb.
What happens to the pith ball when the plastic rod rubbed with silk cloth is brought near it?
The pith ball will be attracted to the plastic rod because the rod acquires a negative charge when rubbed with silk. This causes the pith ball, which is neutral, to be attracted to the rod due to the opposite charges.
How does an electron acquire a negative charge and what is the significance of this charge in the context of atomic structure?
An electron acquires a negative charge by having an excess of negatively charged particles called electrons. In the context of atomic structure, the negative charge of an electron is significant because it balances the positive charge of protons in the nucleus, creating a stable atom. This balance of positive and negative charges allows atoms to form bonds with other atoms and participate in chemical reactions.
What is the difference in the charges on a balloon rubbed in your hair and a glass rod rubbed with silk?
Oh, dude, okay, so when you rub a balloon in your hair, it picks up some extra electrons, giving it a negative charge. When you rub a glass rod with silk, the rod loses some electrons, so it ends up with a positive charge. It's like a little electron swap meet, but with static electricity.
When a plastic rod is rubbed with wool the wool acquires a positive charge because?
When a plastic rod is rubbed with wool, electrons are transferred from the wool to the rod. This process leaves the wool with a deficiency of electrons, resulting in a positive charge. Meanwhile, the plastic rod, having gained these electrons, becomes negatively charged. This charge transfer is due to the differences in the materials' electron affinity, with wool having a stronger tendency to lose electrons compared to plastic.
Which particles moves when an object acquires a net positive or negative charge?
Electrons are the particles that move when an object acquires a net positive or negative charge. In the case of a positive charge, electrons are removed from the object, leaving an excess of positive charge. Conversely, in the case of a negative charge, electrons are added to the object, creating an excess of negative charge.
When an object loses electrons it acquires an electric charge of?
It does not acquire any charge, it looses negative charge (the electrons), so becomes net positive.
Use your understanding of static charge to explain how plastic wrap clings to a neutral glass bowl?
When you unroll plastic wrap from the roll, it acquires a negative static charge. The neutral glass bowl has positive charges on its surface, causing an attraction between the negative charge on the plastic wrap and the positive charges on the bowl. This attraction is what causes the plastic wrap to cling to the glass bowl.
A body acquires positive chargewhat is this mean?
it means it loses its electron to acquire (+)charge
What is the name of an atom that loses an electron?
== == == == The answer is an ionic atom.== ==when it gains an electron, it acquires partial negative charge and it's at.weight increaseswhen it looses electron; it acquires partial positive charge and at.weight decreases
What kind of charge does an object acquire when electrons stripped from it?
A positive charge
Will a plastic comb with extra electrons have a positive charge?
No the answer is that it has an negitive charge
What do you mean by charged and uncharged body?
Atoms normally contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. The amount of positive charge on a single proton is identical to the amount of negative charge on a single electron. So atoms and, therefore, the body from which they are formed, are normally neutral because the amount of positive charge is exactly countered by the amount of negative charge. A body acquires a charge if there is an imbalance between the number of protons and electrons within its atoms. If the electrons outnumber the protons, then the body acquires a negative charge; if the protons outnumber the electrons, then the body acquires a positive charge. The amount of charge is determined by the amount of imbalance between protons and electrons. WebRep currentVote noRating noWeight

When a ping-pong ball is made to touch a charged plastic rod it is attached and then repelled?
yes , because the positive charge are attach in it
