What happens when a positively charged object is brought near a neutral object?

The presence of a charged object near a neutral conductor will force (or induce) electrons within the conductor to move. The movement of electrons leaves an imbalance of charge on opposite sides of the neutral conductor. The flow of electrons results in a permanent charge being left upon the object.

What will happen when a positively charged glass rod is brought near another positively charged glass rod that is suspended by a silk thread?

When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, electrons are transferred from the glass rod to the silk. Since the glass rod losses electrons, it becomes rich in positive charge. Similarly, the silk cloth becomes negatively charged. This phenomenon is called the triboelectric effect.

What will happen when two charged glass rods are brought together?

If you rub the two materials together, then touch the glass rod to two small bits of styrofoam, both pieces of styrofoam will lose electrons to the glass rod, become positively charged and will repel each other, because like charges repel.

How does a neutral material become attracted to a negatively charged object brought near it?

Neutral object are attracted to either charge. The region that has too many electrons is negatively charged, the other region positively, because of lack of electrons. The positive region since it is closer to the charge will be attracted to this charge.

What happen to a neutral metal rod when a positively charged metal plate is brought to contact?

Charging by conduction involves the contact of a charged object to a neutral object. Suppose that a positively charged aluminum plate is touched to a neutral metal sphere. The neutral metal sphere becomes charged as the result of being contacted by the charged aluminum plate.

What happens when a negatively charged rod is brought near a neutral plastic ball?

When a negatively charged object is brought near the knob of a neutral electroscope, the negative charge repels the electrons in the knob, and those electrons move down the stem into the leaves. Excess electrons flow from the rod into the ball, and then downwards making both leaves negatively charged.

What will happen if the glass rod is bring near the pith ball?

When a charged rod is brought close to the pith balls, their charges polarize. If they come in contact with the charged rod, they can inherit the same sign charge. Since like charges repel. when similarly charged, the pith balls behave like siblings and refuse to touch each other.

What would happen if a positively charged glass rod?

Since the electrostatic force decreases with distance, the repulsion of like charges is weaker than the attraction of unlike charges, and so there is a net attraction. Thus a positively charged glass rod attracts neutral pieces of paper, as will a negatively charged rubber rod.

What would happen if a plastic rod rubbed with fur is brought near the glass rod?

Explanation: Rubbing the glass rod with the silk makes it lose electrons, so it becomes positively charged. similarly rubbing the fur with the ebonite makes it lose electrons and becomes positively charged. Since, both glass rod and fur are positively charged and like charges repel each other.
