Two different methods, either: 1) Faulty internal wiring is the most common cause. A live cable is somehow electrically connected to appliance. 2) Static build up, can be caused by internal mechanical movement. Note that the appliance may appear charged if a static shock is received, but the charge is not actually received from the appliance, but instead delivered to the appliance from the person.

What is changing by contact?
causing a neutral object to become charged by touching it with a charged object.
When you rub a ruler with a cloth why does it become charged?
it generates magnetic field and thus get charged
Where does gas particles become electrically charged?
By gas particles I suppose you mean gas molecules? These become charged when ionized, when an electron is stripped off.
If you rub a polythene rod with a cloth will it become magnetic?
No, it will not become magnetic. It will become electrically charged.
How do objects become negatively charged using the contact method?
when a negatvely charged object touches a neutrally charged object electrons move to the neutraly charged object making it negativly charged!
What are some ways in which an object can become charged?
Some ways in which an object can become charged are friction, contact and induction.
How do particles become charged?
particles become charged when they either gain or lose electrons.
How do object charged by friction?
how objects become charged by friction
What is the role of neutral charge?
A neutral charge is often confused with a negative charge. I real neutral charge is an earth connection. The purpose of this is to stop any electrical shock to a person in the event of electrical fault causing the appliance to become charged.
How does an atom become a positively charged ion?
An atom becomes a positively charged ion when it loses one or more electrons.
If a bromine atom were to attract an extra electrons from potassium the potassium atom would become charged?
The potassium atom would become positively charged - or a cation.
What is changing by contact?
causing a neutral object to become charged by touching it with a charged object.
When you rub a ruler with a cloth why does it become charged?
it generates magnetic field and thus get charged
Who were the leading appliance manufacturers in the 1990s?
Whirlpool overtook General Electric in 1993 to become the largest appliance manufacturer, with 1999 revenues of $10 billion and employment of 59,000
Why should the grounding wire of the appliances be inserted to the ground?
in case there is a short circuit of the appliance motor. if the ground is not plugged in, the metal housing of the appliance could become electrified and the first time you touch it you become the grounding source and could be electricuted!
Does an atom become charged after ionised?
Yes
How do gasoline trucks become charged?
by the gallons......
