Positive ions.
To give an object a positive charge, electrons must be removed from the object. This can be done by transferring electrons to another object or by rubbing the object with another material that has a higher affinity for electrons.
When electrons are rearranged in an object by an electric field, the object is charged by gaining or losing electrons. If an object gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged, and if it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged.
If electrons leave an object it becomes positive. If an object gains electrons it becomes positive. If it has the same types of charges with the same amount it becomes neutral.
When an object loses electrons, it becomes positively charged because it has more protons than electrons. The protons are no longer balanced by an equal number of electrons, resulting in an overall positive charge on the object.
It becomes charged. (negatively)
To give an object a positive charge, electrons must be removed from the object. This can be done by transferring electrons to another object or by rubbing the object with another material that has a higher affinity for electrons.
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object, electrons transfer from the negatively charged object to the neutral object, causing the neutral object to gain electrons. This results in the neutral object becoming negatively charged.
When a positively charged object is grounded, electrons from the ground are free to move onto the object. These electrons neutralize the positive charge by transferring to the positively charged object, allowing the excess electrons on the object to flow into the ground. This flow of electrons equalizes the charge between the object and the ground.
gaining or losing electrons. If an object gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged; if it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged.
Electrons are transferred when a neutral object is charged. If electrons are added to an object, it becomes negatively charged, and if electrons are removed, it becomes positively charged.
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.
An object becomes electrically charged when it gains or loses electrons. Gaining electrons gives the object a negative charge, while losing electrons gives it a positive charge. This imbalance of electrons creates an electric charge on the object.
negative
No, a negatively charged object has the same number of electrons as a neutral object. The negative charge is due to an excess of electrons on the object, meaning it has gained extra electrons to become negatively charged.
When a charged object is brought close to a neutral object, the electric field from the charged object can cause the electrons in the neutral object to be attracted or repelled. This movement of electrons results in the neutral object becoming polarized, as the electrons are pushed away from or pulled towards the charged object.
When a positively charged object is grounded, electrons from the ground will flow into the object to neutralize the positive charge. This movement of electrons will cause the object to become neutral in charge.
When an object has too many electrons, it carries a negative charge. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so an excess of electrons on an object results in an overall negative charge.
