When an object is charged by contact, the object getting the charge has the same charge compared with that of the object giving the charge. so if the object giving the charge has a positive charge, so does the object getting the charge
Charge (electrons) that do not flow.
Step one. Charge the electroscope by the induction method. A rod is used of opposite sign to that required on the electroscope . The rod is brought near to the cap so that the leaf diverges by the amount desired, and the electroscope is momentarily earthed by touching it with a finger. The rod is then removed, leaving the electroscope charged. (If the charged rod used is Benoite this leaves a positively charged electroscope, if a glass rod is used then the result is negatively charged electroscope) Step two Now use the object of unknown charge, A charge of the same kind as that on the electroscope will cause an increase while a charge of the opposite kind will cause a decrease in leaf divergence when the object is brought near to the electroscope. You must bring the object down from a good height, and move it slowly down towards the cap so any change in divergence will not be overlooked before the object becomes to close to the cap. Bringing the object down too quickly and too close to the cap could lead to a false reading. Source(s): A. F. Abott Ordinary Level Physics
it depends on what kind of charge it is if its a positive charge then protons are surrounding it if it is a negative charge then electrons are surrounding it does that make sense?

Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
It has a positive charge.
A positive charge
If an object has extra electrons, it will surely have negative charge.
The " object " would have a positive charge because protons are positively charged./
negative
anybody who asks the charge of an object is asking if it's electrons are positive or negatively CHARGED
Assuming both were neutral to start, an object which is charged by contact with another object would have the opposite charge to the object with which the charge transfer occurred as charge is a conserved property. An object that loses electrons to another object would become more positive while and object which gains electrons would become more negatively charged. it can be negative, since the electrons are the only ones to move from a charge to the object positive charge does NOT move thus once it gave the electrons, the thing will get a positive charge while the object will be a negative charge pretty much i said it in easier words from the paragraph above ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Electrons have a negative charge.
Electrons have a negative charge.
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
