To ground an object means to connect it through a conductor to the ground, or Earth. Grounding is a way to prevent an electric charge from building on an object, or to get rid of an electric charge.

∙ 14y agoGrounding is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size. When a charged object is grounded, the excess charge is balanced by the transfer of electrons between the charged object and a ground. A ground is simply an object which serves as a seemingly infinite reservoir of electrons; the ground is capable of transferring electrons to or receiving electrons from a charged object in order to neutralize that object.

How is the charge on a charged object maintained?
If the object remains ungrounded it will remain charged.
What is the the processing of charging an object without contact by using a charged object and a path to ground?
grounding
Can objects be charged by induction?
I'm really not sure, however I know that when charging by induction, the electrons repel during induction, due to grounding an object. The charge that an object has when it is charged by induction varies depending on the amount of electrons taken away. When an object is charged by induction, the object has the opposite charge of the object inducing the charge.
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 happens when a charged object is brought to another oppositely charged object?
There will be flow of electrons from negatively charged object towards the positively charged object making an attempt to make both of them electrically neutral.

grounding
Does a charged object effect an non charged object?
No.
What do you call materials which can be used to discharge a charged object to the earth?
Grounding conductors
Does grounding have an effect on charged objects?
Grounding is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size. When a charged object is grounded, the excess charge is balanced by the transfer of electrons between the charged object and a ground. A ground is simply an object which serves as a seemingly infinite reservoir of electrons; the ground is capable of transferring electrons to or receiving electrons from a charged object in order to neutralize that object.
What is the common name for touching a charged object to an infinite reservoir for electric charge?
I believe the term is "grounding"
What is the process of charging a conductor by bringing it near another charged object and then grounding the conductor called?
Induction
A charged object does not affect an object that has no charge?
It depends on the type of non-charged object. If the object is made of conductive material, a charged object will induce a separation of charge in the non-charged object. Its net charge will still be zero. If the object is not conductive, there will be no significant effect.
What will effect will a charged object have on an object with the opposite charge?
It will attract it and/or be attracted to it. Opposite charges attract.
What is a example of effect of negatively charged object on negatively charged object?
In practical life , it is not possible to identify the negative and positive charges.The positive and negative charges are identified only experimentally.So, practical example of this is not possible.But I can tell that a negatively charged object and positively charged object attract each other.for A+ lost electrons
What is a example of the effect of negatively charged object on positively charged object?
In practical life , it is not possible to identify the negative and positive charges.The positive and negative charges are identified only experimentally.So, practical example of this is not possible.But I can tell that a negatively charged object and positively charged object attract each other.for A+ lost electrons
What effect a negatively charged object have on a positively object?
read your book. they trade electrons and neutrons or create static electricity
