Plastic is typically electrically neutral, meaning it has an equal number of positive and negative charges. However, it can become positively or negatively charged through a process called static electricity, where electrons transfer between objects, causing an imbalance of charges.

Plastic typically becomes negatively charged when rubbed, meaning it gains excess electrons. This can cause the plastic to attract positively charged objects or repel other negatively charged objects.

How do positively charged objects differ from negatively charged objects?

Positively charged objects have an excess of protons compared to electrons, while negatively charged objects have an excess of electrons compared to protons. These imbalances in charge cause positively charged objects to attract negatively charged objects and repel other positively charged objects, and vice versa for negatively charged objects.


Does every atom have a negatively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons?

No. Every atom has a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons.Unless you are talking about antimatter. The atoms of antimatter have negatively charged nuclei and surrounded by positively charged positrons


What is the formation of positively and negatively charged objects?

Positively charged objects gain electrons to become negatively charged. Negatively charged objects lose electrons to become positively charged. This exchange of electrons creates an imbalance of positive and negative charges, leading to the attraction between the objects.
