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).

The loss of static electricity as a charge move off an object?
The loss of static electricity as a charge moves off an object is known as an electro static discharge.
How does Static electricity differ from electric discharge?
Static electricity is a charge built up on an object, usually from interacting with its surrounding, like shuffling your feet or rubbing fur. Its just a charge that sits there (static!) Electric discharge is when a charge moves between objects , this happens when you touch something and the static charge on you moves to the new object in one lump. One is a measure of charge, the other is the charge's movement. One is static, the other is usually fast (not always)
The charge an object has when it has gained electrons?
electric charge
When charging an object by conduction what happened to the charge an object?
Electrons move onto the object, giving it a static charge. Apex ;)
What is the charge that stays on an object?
A charge that does not move is called a static charge.
Accumulation of electric charges on a object?
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
What is the build-up of electric charge on an object?
Static charge is the buildup of electric charges on an object. This is a Biology question.
The buildup of charges on an object is called?
It is static electricity or in other words just static, or just a static charge.
What is an excess of an electric charge on an object?
Static Charge

What happens to the atoms in an object to generate a charge imbalance when it is rubbed with a duster?
I think you mean 'static electricity', it happens when the two objects exchange electrons, so the object will be charged either positively or negatively.
What do you call the movement of an electrical charge from one object to another?
static charge
