well not many things can be ELECTRICALLY CHRAGED. lik wood holds about 12% of wood and 0% of eletricaty
They acquire a charge from somewhere else.
Electrically neutral objects have an equal number of positive and negative charges. When these objects gain or lose electrons, they become charged; gaining electrons makes them negatively charged, while losing electrons results in a positive charge. This change in charge can lead to various interactions with other charged objects, influencing phenomena like static electricity or electromagnetic forces.
An object with equal amounts of positive and negative charge is electrically neutral.
Most objects are electrically neutral, meaning they have an equal number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge), resulting in a net charge of zero.
Electrically charged objects can either attract or repel each other depending on their charge. Like charges, such as two objects with a positive charge or two objects with a negative charge, will repel each other. Opposite charges, such as a positive and negative charge, will attract each other.
by gaining or losing electrons.
Insulators
Electrically charged objects either attract or repel each other based on their charge. Oppositely charged objects attract each other (positive and negative), while objects with the same charge repel each other (positive and positive, or negative and negative) due to the interaction of electric fields.
Objects that have asymmetrical distribution of charge, such as molecules with a permanent dipole moment or materials with aligned dipoles, can be electrically polarized. Examples include water molecules, certain crystals like quartz, and some ceramic materials.
Most everyday objects are electrically neutral because they contain an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. This balance of charges results in no overall electric charge on the object.
Most objects do not have a net electric charge because they have an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons, which cancel each other out. This balance of positive and negative charges results in objects being electrically neutral.
Objects become electrically charged when there is an imbalance of positive and negative charges on the object's surface. This imbalance can occur through friction, conduction, or induction, leading to the object gaining a net positive or negative charge.
