Yes. In that case, there's often a lightning discharge inside the cloud, from

one part of to another part. These are seen very clearly from an aircraft

flying in the area of the building thunderhead (but not TOO close).

An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge has a what?

An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge is considered to be charged. It may have a net positive charge (if it has more positive charges) or a net negative charge (if it has more negative charges).


What charge is on top of a tree beneath a thundercloud?

The charge on the top of the tree could be positive or negative, depends on the direction of the wind. If the wind is in the same direction of the earth's rotation around the sun, the charge is negative, and vise versa.


How does static charge develop in a thundercloud?

Static charge develops in a thundercloud through the collision and separation of ice particles and water droplets inside the cloud. This process creates positive and negative charges on different parts of the cloud, leading to the buildup of electrical potential. When the charge difference becomes large enough, it can result in lightning discharge.


What particles has a negative charge and which has a positive charge?

Negative charge = electron Positive charge = positron Positive charge = proton


What charge electron charge positive or negative?

Electrons carry a negative charge to balance out the positive charge of the proton.


Does all matter have a negative or positive charge?

No, not all matter has a negative or positive charge. Matter can be neutral, meaning it has an equal number of positive and negative charges, such as in most atoms. Charged particles exist in matter, such as electrons with a negative charge and protons with a positive charge.


Why is a tree positively charged underneath a negatively charged thundercloud?

The fact that the cloud base is negatively charged allows for the tree to have a net positive charge. If the cloud base was positively charged, then the tree would have a net negative charge. My very simplified answer, to be honest.
