Is metallic wire carrying current charged or electrically neutral? Justify. ...?

A metallic wire carrying current is not charged - it is electrically neutral. 
This is because a wire, or any type of conductor, cannot store charge - the fact that it is carrying current means that charge carriers that already existed in the wire are in motion. There are as many electrons as there are protons in the wire, which makes it neutral - there is no buildup of charge.

An electroscope is a simple device consisting of a metal ball that is attached by a conductor to two thin leaves of metal foil p
baherus [9]

Answer:

the electroscope separate  by the presence of charge carriers

Explanation:

Metal bodies are characterized by having free (mobile) electrons. In the electroscope the plates are in balance; when the external metal ball is touched, a charge is introduced into the device, when the body that touched the ball is separated, an excess charge remains. This charge, being a metal, is distributed over the entire surface, giving a uniform density and an electric force of repulsion is created between the two charged sheets, which tends to separate the sheets. This force is counteracted by the tension component as the sheets are separated at a given angle, the separation reaches the point where

                  Fe - Tx = 0

                  Fe = Tx

In summary, the electroscope separate its leaves by the presence of charge carriers

What is gibbs paradox?
mr_godi [17]
This leads to a paradox known as the Gibbs paradox, after Josiah Willard Gibbs. The paradox allows for the entropy of closed systems to decrease, violating the second law of thermodynamics. A related paradox is the "mixing paradox".

I dont know how to do this at all please help

Wow !  I understand your shock.  I shook and vibrated a little
when I looked at this one too.

The reason for our shock is all the extra junk in the question,
put there just to shock and distract us.

"Neutron star", "5.5 solar masses", "condensed burned-out star".
That's all very picturesque, and it excites cosmic fantasies in
out brains when we read it, but it's just malicious decoration.
It only gets in the way, and doesn't help a bit.

The real question is:

What is the acceleration of gravity 2000 m from
the center of a mass of 1.1 x 10³¹ kg ?

Acceleration of gravity is

                           G  ·  M / R²

      =  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²) · (1.1 x 10³¹ kg) / (2000 m)²

      =  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹  ·  1.1 x 10³¹ / 4 x 10⁶)      (N) · m² · kg / kg² · m²

      =             1.83 x 10¹⁴           (kg · m / s²) · m² · kg / kg² · m²

      =             1.83 x 10¹⁴            m / s²      

That's about  1.87 x 10¹³  times the acceleration of gravity on
Earth's surface.

In other words, if I  were standing on the surface of that neutron star,
I would weigh  1.82 x 10¹² tons, give or take.
