Yes, some objects have an electrical charge.
static charge
induction
It will still have a electrical charge.
Discharging an object means removing excess electrical charge from it. This can be done by allowing the charge to flow to another object or to the ground, helping to balance the electrical potential of the object. This process is important to prevent static electricity buildup and reduce the risk of electrical shocks.
static electricity
Very little in practical terms. Any object which has acquired a static electrical charge (positive or negative) will experience an attractive force to any object with the opposite electrical charge and a repulsive force from any object with the same electric charge. This is much the same as the poles of a magnet. Opposite poles/charges will attract while similar poles/charges repel. Any charged object has an electric field around it in the same way as a magnet has a magnetic field around it. In air, any charged object will gradually lose its charge to the gases in the air by ionisation of the atoms or molecules in the air (like in a domestic room air ioniser).
Repel means to push away.With electricity- An object with positive electrical charge will repel another object with positive electrical charge.(.....My 9yr old daughter just told me this)
The electrical potential energy of a charge is determined by both its charge and the electric field in which it resides. The potential energy increases with the charge of the object and how much it is separated from another object with opposite charge. The direction of the electric field also influences the potential energy of a charge.
An electrical charge is attracted to a conducter (ie a material which conducts such as copper) therefore you can either use something more conductive leading away, or insulate the object.
Provide your second object is an insulator, - able to carry an electrical charge - it will have an electrical charge induced on it by the presence of a nearby electrically charged object. So, the second object does not need to have its own independent electrical charge, it is sufficient that it can carry one.
An object with a positive charge has an excess of protons compared to electrons.
When an object has electrical charge, it means that it has an imbalance of positive or negative electrons. This imbalance creates an electric field around the object that can interact with other charged objects. Objects with the same charge repel each other, while objects with opposite charges attract each other.
