The two ways to charge a neutral body with static electricity is to dump a bunch of electrons onto it, thus making it negative, or attracting a bunch of electrons off of it, which will make it positive. There are several mechanisms that will allow us to do this. Just one example is to rub a balloon on your hair (if your hair is relatively dry) and you'll separate charges. This will cause the balloon to stick to your hair via the mechanism of static electricity.

What makes electric charge to flow?
When we bring a positively charged body towards a negatively charged body the negatively charged particles in the negatively charged body move towards the positively charged particles in the other body i.e an electric charge moves when we bring two bodies of differently charged bodies or the same charges(they repel each other in this case)
How do charged objects interact with each other differently from the way a charged object interacts with neutral objects?
Two objects that are similarly charged will repel, while two objects with opposite charges will attract. Moreover, a neutral object will attract either charges
Is there any current between two fully charged capacitors?
as far i think,there is no current flowing between two fully charged capacitor.current flow in a capacitor happens until it gets fully charged.if it is fully charged then there is no lack of potential,so no current flow.
What are two ways that the flow of water can be controlled?
One a dam, and two a filter
What are two way to change value of a css property?
There are not two but three ways to change. Inline, Internal and External CSS are three ways of changing CSS.
What are two different ways charged objects can be discharged?
One is grounding
When a person standing on an insulating stool touches a charged insulated conductor is the conductor discharges completely?
When Two Insulated Objects touch each other they are not discharged!!
If one body is positively charged and another body is negatively charged what do free electrons tend to do?
Free electrons tend to move away from the negatively-charged body and toward the positively-charged body.They will transfer to the positively charged body in an attempt to create a neutral charge.Move from the negatively charged body to the positively charged body.move from the negatively charged body to the positively charged body!-----------I just finished the Penn Foster test, and the answers for a 100 are (from left to right):A D CA C BD B CC D DD C CA B DC A BD A C Byou actually had two of the answers mixed up but i fixed them--after i got them wrong on my test. so now its 100%
What is connecting a circuit for safety precaution to earth?
For various reason some charges may accumulated on an electric equipment. If any personal touch it he/she may get shock. That is why an extra path is provided as ground connection to remove these charges from electric body to the Earth. ========================================================== I was answering contemporaneously, the above answer is correct :-) If two points are charged and they are connected by a perfect conductor, the current flowing between the two points depends on the potential due to the charge difference. The current flows moving electrons from the negative to the positive element up to the moment in which the charge difference is nullified and no current flows due to the presence of no potential difference. If I connect a charged element to a very large, uncharged body, almost all the charge of the charged element is discharged towards the large body, creating a current burst. This happens when I touch with my body a charged element in a circuit: my body is big and neutral and it works as a sort of zero potential element, so that all the charges are discharged towards my body in a current burst that can be quite dangerous. Earth is much bigger with respect to my body, if I create a connection between the circuit and the earth that acts as a potential reference, if I touch the circuit I am at the same potential of earth, at zero potential, but no discharge happens since all possible charges have been already discharged towards Earth.
What are two ways your body can generate heat?
You can move your body or shiver.
Name two ways in which foods are used by the body?
Two ways foods are used by the body are for growing and repairing tissues (they supply the materials to do it.) Another thing is they provide the body with energy.
Can two positively charged body attract each other?
yes--consider two charged bodies (having positive charge). One body is very large in comparison to the other. The large body will induce opposite charge in the small body and thus both will attract each other
