What is discharging in physics?
Discharging in electricity & magnetism is the process where an electrically charged object "loses" its electrical charges to become a neutral object.
What happens when a charged object is brought to another oppositely charged object?
There will be flow of electrons from negatively charged object towards the positively charged object making an attempt to make both of them electrically neutral.
Is the space around an electrically charged object is an electric field?
yes
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.
How can materials become electrically charged?
Material can become electrically charged when two different material are brought into close contact, some of the electrons move from one material to another.
How does an electrically polarized object different from an electrically charged object?
It will still have a electrical charge.
Does the space around an electrically charged object is an electric field?
yes the space around a electrically charged object is known as electric field......

Why most of the object arround us are electrically charged?
There is no "why", because most of the objectsaround us are not electrically charged.

Is the space around an electrically charged object is an electric field?
yes
What is an object that is positively charge?
If an object has an unequal number of protons and electrons, then the object becomes electrically charged. An object that is positively charged has more protons than electrons.

Material can become electrically charged when two different material are brought into close contact, some of the electrons move from one material to another.
What are some ways in which an object can become charged?
Some ways in which an object can become charged are friction, contact and induction.
If you rub a polythene rod with a cloth will it become magnetic?
No, it will not become magnetic. It will become electrically charged.
A grounded electrically conductive object is forced to take the same potential as the what?
When an object is grounded it becomes electrically charged.
