What kind of charge does an object have if it has more negative particles than positive particles?

The object would have a negative charge. Negative particles, such as electrons, carry a negative charge when they outnumber the positive particles, such as protons.


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.


Is a negative object attracting a neutral object considered magnetism?

"Negative" and "positive" are terms used with electrical forces, not with magnetic forces."Negative" and "positive" are terms used with electrical forces, not with magnetic forces."Negative" and "positive" are terms used with electrical forces, not with magnetic forces."Negative" and "positive" are terms used with electrical forces, not with magnetic forces.


What charge does an object have if it has more negative particles than positive particles?

The object would have a negative charge if it has more negative particles than positive particles. This is because the excess negative particles result in an overall negative charge.


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.

When can you used the positive acceleration due to gravity and negative acceleration due to gravity?

If you define the "up" direction as "positive", then the acceleration is negative, because it is downward. If you define "down" as positive, then acceleration is negative. You can use any convention; just be sure to be consistent within a particular calculation, to avoid errors.


Why is gravitational potential always negative?

because gravity is a force that acts down on an object. In physics up is positive and down is negative


Why it is taken as negative when an object is thrown upwards against gravitation?

When we throw the object upwards we consider that upward direction as positive. Therefore, the velocity in that direction is positive but the acceleration due to gravity is in the opposite direction and so it is considered negative. But when the ball comes down again after reaching a certain height the velocity is in opposite direction to the earlier one and so the velocity now is negative as a result the acceleration is again negative.


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.


What does a negative force mean when calculating the electrostatic force between 2 charges?

An object wont have a force, it will have a force acting on it. If a force acting on an object is negative then that simply means that the objects is in the opposite directon than the defined positive. Eg. An object hitting the ground will exert a force on the ground (F=ma) if we say that up is positive then the force is going to be negative (Acceleration due to gravity will be negative). So the force is not "negative" just opposite to the positive direction. Hope that helps.


When is acceleration due to gravity positive and when is it negative?

Acceleration due to gravity is negative when an object is moving up. Accl'n due to gravity is positive when an object is moving down (since gravity acts downwards on an object). ^Acceleration due to gravity is always negative, while the acceleration of the ball upward was positive due to what threw it, not gravity.


What is true about the number of positive and negative charges in a charged object?

A charged object can have an unequal number of positive and negative charges, resulting in a net charge. An object with more positive charges than negative charges will have a positive net charge, and vice versa for negative charges.


When there is an equal amount of positive and negative charges on an object what is the net charge of the object?

The net charge of an object with equal amounts of positive and negative charges is zero. Positive and negative charges cancel each other out, resulting in no overall charge on the object.

Is static electricity negative or positive?

A positive charge is built up which then wants to find a path to ground. It can be either polarity. It just depends on how the charge is generated and what materials used to generate it.


What kind of charge does an object have if it has more negative particles than positive particles?

The object would have a negative charge. Negative particles, such as electrons, carry a negative charge when they outnumber the positive particles, such as protons.
