A shortage of electrons on the surface create positive charge.
Because aall bodies in nature remains electrically neutral. But we know that electrons are negatively charged particles. It means if there is deficiency of electrons at any surface there would be positive charge.
Which means electrons are less than protons which are positively charged particles and hence causes positive charge on surface.

What does a shortage of electrons on a surface create?
Static.
Does friction create protons or electrons?
nope, but the triboelectric effect create an electrostatic charge
How does a material acquire a positive electrical charge?
By losing electrons.
What charge does as electron have?
Electrons are the negatively charged particles of an atom. Together, all electrons of an atom create a negative charge that balances out the positively charged atoms called protons.
What is a flow of electrons that create a charge one of the fundamental forms of energy?
Electrical Energy
Is it possible to create an induced charge separation on an insulator?
No. To get induced charge separation you must have electrons in outer bands that can easily be moved by an electric field. Conductors have these electrons available but insulators do not.
Why are there as many electrons as protons in a atom?
Because Electrons have a negative charge (e-) and Protons have a positive charge (p+), so to create a balanced atom you must have the same number of e- as p+
How is static electricity made?
=Usually, atoms have the same number of electrons and protons. Then the atom has no charge, it is "neutral." But if you rub things together, electrons can move from one atom to another. Some atoms get extra electrons. They have a negative charge. Other atoms lose electrons. They have a positive charge. When charges are separated like this, it is called static electricity.=
What is the charge of an ion that gained electrons?
If the ion is positive, then the loss of an electron will result in the ion having one greater positive charge. (A +3 ion will be +4.) If the ion is negative, then the loss of an electron will result in the ion being one less negative than it was previously. (A -4 ion wil be -3. A -1 ion will be neutral and have a zero charge.)
Why cant positive charges be used to create current?
Actually, they can. In metals, it's common for an electrical current to be carried by electrons, and that's because electrons are light (low mass), and move around easily. But electrons are by no means the only charge carriers - for example, in a liquid, currents may be carried by positive ions; and in a semiconductor, either by electrons (which have a negative charge) or by holes (which have a positive charge).
An object that is positively charge is called?
A positively charged particle is called a proton. A negatively charged particle is called an electron.
What makes an ion?
Gamma rays
