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.

How can an object have a neutral charge if part of the object has a positive and a negative charge?
If the positive and negative charges are equal, then the object has a 'net' neutral charge.
When polarizing an object what happens to the charge in the object?
They separate, with positive charges on one side and negative charges on the other.
Why is a neutral object attractred to a charged object?
This is known as electrostatic induction. As charged object (say positive) is brought near by the neutral object the opposite charges i.e. negative would get attracted towards and positive charges would be pushed away. Yet the object is neutral though the charges got separated. Now due to attraction of unlike charges the neutral is attracted towards the charged one.
What is a measure of extra charges that are on an object?
Charge is the measure of extra positive or negative particles an object has.
Is there any negative charge on a positive charged object?
Any "object" larger than elementary particles consists of positive and negative charges. If your object has a negative charge, it simply has more particles with a negative charge than particles with a positive charge.
Where there is an equal amount of positive and negative charges on an object the object is?
Electrically neutral
Is an object without a charge repelled by both positive and negative charges?
Positive and negative charges would have not effect on an object without charge.
Does wool have a negative or positive charge?
both because every object has both positive and negative charges but mainly has positive charges.
How positive and negative attract?
Think about it in science. If you had any atom with only positive charges or just negative charges it is an unstable atom, therfore you can't make anything out of it. They attract like puzzle pieces. To stabalize an object you need an equal amount of positive and negative charges.
What causes a substance to have a positive charge?
the object has to have more positive charges than negative charges.
What three charges can an object have?
positive, negative, and neutral
How can an object have a neutral charge if part of the object has a positive and a negative charge?
If the positive and negative charges are equal, then the object has a 'net' neutral charge.
What are the two like charges?
a positive and a positive or a negative and a negative. Object with the same charge. Like charges repel each other.
Why can magnets attract an object?
magnets have negative and positive charges
What happens to an object with positive and negative charges?
They attract eachother.
When polarizing an object what happens to the charge in the object?
They separate, with positive charges on one side and negative charges on the other.
When positive and negative charges are sparated into different parts of an object the object is said to be?
polarized
