What happens if negative particles from one object move to another object?
Then the charge of the giving object becomes more positive, and the charge of the receiving object becomes more negative.
What are the charges of electricity?
An electrical charge can be one of two opposites, which are traditionally called "positive" and "negative". If there is no charge on an object, the object is said to be "neutral".
How is the charge on a charged object maintained?
If the object remains ungrounded it will remain charged.
What is the transfer of charge from one object to another by rubbing one is called?
Friction
Must an object be electrically charged as well for it to be attracted by a charged object?
Provide your second object is an insulator, - able to carry an electrical charge - it will have an electrical charge induced on it by the presence of a nearby electrically charged object. So, the second object does not need to have its own independent electrical charge, it is sufficient that it can carry one.

What do you call the movement of an electrical charge from one object to another?
static charge

How does an object get a positive or a negative charge?
An object gives up one or more protons to get a positively charged objects and absorbs one or more electrons to get a negatively charged objects. This happens when two objects are rubbed together (ex. when you rub your feet on the carpet to give some one a shock;rubbing balloon on one's hair)
Why can't one charge an earthed metal object?
It is because the flow of electrons go from the object to the earth

When polarizing an object what happens to the charge in the object?
They separate, with positive charges on one side and negative charges on the other.
How 2 neutral objects can become a postively charged object and a negatively charged object?
If you have two electrically neutral objects, and a charge (e.g., an electron) passes from one to the other, then both will be charged. If an electron (with a charge of minus 1 elementary units) passes from object "A" to object "B", and both were neutral initially, then object "A" will have a charge of +1, and charge B, a charge of -1. If this is confusing for you, here is a numerical example.Object A has 10 protons and 10 electrons. The total charge is 10 - 10 = 0.Object B also has 10 protons and 10 electrons, for a total charge of 0.After the electron goes from object A to object B:Object A has 10 protons and 11 electrons. The total charge is 10 - 11 = -1.Object B has 10 protons and 9 electrons. The total charge is 10 - 9 = +1.If you have two electrically neutral objects, and a charge (e.g., an electron) passes from one to the other, then both will be charged.

Do particles with a negative charge or ones with a positive charge move most from one object to another?
depends on the polarity of the membrane
How does body becomes negatively charge?
It gains electrons. The only charged particles which can freely move from one object to another are electrons. Electrons have negative charge. So adding electrons gives a negative charge, and removing electrons gives the object a positive charge.
