∙ 15y agoThe term used to describe a solid object that accumulates a charge in one limited area is "charged object" or "electrified object".
When an isolated object becomes charged by induction, the net charge on the object remains zero. This is because the charge is redistributed within the object but the total amount of charge does not change.
When an object is charged by contact, it acquires the same type of charge as the object it came in contact with. So if the charging object has a positive charge, the charged object will also be positively charged, and the same holds true for a negative charge.
When a positively charged object is grounded, electrons from the ground are free to move onto the object. These electrons neutralize the positive charge by transferring to the positively charged object, allowing the excess electrons on the object to flow into the ground. This flow of electrons equalizes the charge between the object and the ground.
Depends on the charge (and conductivity) of the "other" object.
Electrons move onto the object, giving it a static charge. Apex ;)

Displacement is the term used to describe a charge in an object's position relative to a reference point. It is a vector quantity that measures the change in position of an object, including both distance and direction.
When the conduction of an object changes, the charge of the object remains the same. Changing the conduction process affects how the charge is distributed or how easily it can flow within the object, but the total amount of charge in the object does not change.
An object with a positive charge has an excess of protons compared to electrons.
They attract.
The object will get a negative charge. When a positively-charged rod is brought near the object, it polarizes the charges in the object, causing the electrons to move away from the rod, leaving the object with a net negative charge.
When the total charge on an object is zero, the object is electrically neutral. This means it has an equal number of positive and negative charges, resulting in no overall charge.
An object being pulled inward in an electric field typically implies the object has a positive charge, as oppositely charged objects are attracted to each other. If the object has a negative charge, it would be pushed away from the field. If the object has a neutral charge, it would not experience any force in the field.
