I have a limited understanding of electricity so if this isn't correct, my apologies. ( At least if my answer isn't right someone who knows might be tempted into answering your question by the chance to correct me!).
A conductor is never charged.
Therefore you cannot uncharge it.
I was taught, and have heard since, that electricity is like a river. As water flows down the river, so electricity flows through a conductor. A conductor "conducts" not by passing through, like through a tube, but as electricity enters in one end, electricity (electrons) are forces out the other end. As the number of electrons doesn't change significantly, the conductor never becomes charged, it merely conducts the negatively charged electrons.
If you measure the charge in a piece of wire that is not connected to anything, it will be 0. There is no current= no mass movement of electronsalong the wore in a uniform direction.
Things that can hold a charge are called a capacitor.

∙ 13y agoYou can discharge an object by :
Grounding it (touching it against the ground)
Discharge at a Point( Sort Of like lightning)
the third one is simple exposure to the air.

Which of the three main methods of charging an object involves no touching?
Charging by induction.
What is an charged and uncharged object?
A charged object is matter that either has a surplus of electrons (negatively charged) or a deficiency of electrons (positively charged).
What are the three types of charges that particles can have?
Positive, Neutral, or Negative Positively charged particles are protons Negatively charged particles are electrons Neutrally charged or no charge particles are neutrons
When two forces act on an object what three things can change?
There are more than three possible changes. Some of them are:The object is crushed.The object is stretched.The object undergoes a shear distortion.Nothing happens: the object is more resistant than the forces acting on it.
What three ways can you magnetize soft iron?
what are three methods of magnetising a piece of soft iron
Compare the three methods of charging?
There must be electric current for something to be charged. When you are charging something, you will align the electrons towards a given direction. The aprtcle become charged once the electrons are aligned in a given direction.
What three concepts are the basis for object-oriented programming?
Classes, objects and methods are the three concepts for OOP programming.
Which of the three main methods of charging an object involves no touching?
Charging by induction.
