The charge an object has when it gained electrons is it a positive charge?

If you mean an atom, if it gains electrons it becomes more negative, so a negative charge. If you really mean an ion, it depends on the charge of the ion.

∙ 14y agoI would assume that the object was positively charged if it gained electrons, because the charge tries to balance itself and since electrons are negatively charged the object would attract negative energy if it was positively charged

∙ 14y agoWhen an object gains more electrons than protons (has a surplus of electrons), the object becomes negatively charged.

What does it mean when an object has a positive charge?
When an object has a positive charge, it has a deficiency of electrons.
If an object has a positive charge what has it done?
It has lost electrons, resulting in a more positive charge.
Is an object's net charge positive or negative if it loses electrons?
positive
How does an object becomes charged?
An object becomes positively charged if it loses electrons. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so the less of them there are in an object, the stronger the positive charge is.
How an object become positively charged?
An object becomes positively charged if it loses electrons. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so the less of them there are in an object, the stronger the positive charge is.
When an object gains or loses electrons has it an electric charge?
That depends entirely on sign of the charge. If the object gains a positive charge, then that means the object as lost electrons, since electrons are negatively charge. If the charge is negative, then the object has gained electrons. It is also possible that the charge was created by a movement in protons, which are positively charged, in which case the object may not have lost or gained electrons.
What does it mean when an object has a positive charge?
When an object has a positive charge, it has a deficiency of electrons.
What kind of charge does an object acquire when electrons stripped from it?
A positive charge
What kind of charge can move from object to object?
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
What does a positive charge object have?
It has had electrons removed giving it it's positive charge.
What charge does an object gain if it gives electrons?
positive charge
If an object has a positive charge what has it done?
It has lost electrons, resulting in a more positive charge.
Is an object's net charge positive or negative if it loses electrons?
positive
How is discharging in a positive object different in a negative object?
The direction of the flow of electric current. In a positive object, electrons flow to it because it has an abscence of negative charge (aka electrons). In a negative object, it has an abundance of negative charge (electrons) so electrons flow away from it.
What kind of charge does an object with more proton's than electrons have?
It has a positive charge.
What is the charge on an object that has 4 electrons and 12 protons?
positive
What does it mean if an atom is positively charged?
The nucleus of an atom has both electrons and neutrons. An atom that has a positive charge means that the atom has fewer electrons than it has protons.
