How does losing an electron result in a positive charge?

Physics
1 answer:
AlekseyPX4 years ago
3 0
A proton has a positive charge, an electron has a negative charge. Usually, the amount of electrons and protons is the same, but when an electron is lost usually because of radiation or a chemical reaction the resulting amount of electrons/ protons results in a different charge for the atom in general.
When there are more electrons the result it a negative ion, and when there are more protons it is a positive ion. 
So, to answer your question: if an electron is lost from a neutral atom and there are more protons than electrons you get a positive charge. Have a good day!

aniked [119]
The name of the scientist who incorrectly theorized that it was the positive charge that moved through a circuit is Benjamin Franklin. Franklin made his famous experiments with a kite in a charged cloud.
He was the scientist that made the electrical notation where the current is given by the direction of the positive charges flow.

Determine the automobile’s braking distance from 90 km/h when it is going up a 5° incline. (Round the final value to one decimal
NeX [460]

Answer:

366 m

Explanation:

u = 90 km/h = 25 m/s,

theta = 5 degree

acceleration, a = g Sin theta = 9.8 x Sin 5 = 0.854 m/s^2

The final velocity os zero and let the braking distance be s.

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 - 2 a s

0 = 25 x 25 - 2 x 0.854 x s

s = 366 m
