The net charge is the charge that there is more of in an object. For example, if an object has 5 electrons (negative charges) and 4 protons (positive charges), then the net charge is negative because there are more electrons in the object. If the object gains 2 protons through the transfer of electric charge then the net charge becomes positive. However, if the object loses 1 proton to have an equal amount of both protons and electrons, then the net charge becomes nuetral.

Why does a material have a net charge?

A material will have a net charge because of the removal or addition of electrons. Adding electrons will cause a net negative charge. Removing them will create a net positive charge.


What is the net charge of OH2?

The net charge of H2O is 0. The net charge of OH is -1. The net charge of H is +1. So, OH (-1) + H (+1) --> H2O (0)
