When electrons enter or leave an object to neutralize a charge, the result is a balanced state of equal positive and negative charges, making the object neutral.
When an object becomes electrically charged, the result is a transfer of electrons. Excess electrons on the object cause it to become negatively charged, while a deficit of electrons results in a positive charge.
The direction of the flow of electric current. In a positive object, electrons flow to it because it has an abscence of negative charge (aka electrons). In a negative object, it has an abundance of negative charge (electrons) so electrons flow away from it.
Both conduction and induction involve a movement of electrons. Conduction is the transfer of electrons from a charged object to another object by direct contact. Induction does not involve direct contact. Instead, induction is the movement of electrons from one part of an object to another as a result of the electric field of the second object.
If the ion is positive, then the loss of an electron will result in the ion having one greater positive charge. (A +3 ion will be +4.) If the ion is negative, then the loss of an electron will result in the ion being one less negative than it was previously. (A -4 ion wil be -3. A -1 ion will be neutral and have a zero charge.)
a negatively charged repels a positivley charged object
If a neutrally charged object gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged. Electrons carry a negative charge, so adding more electrons to an object will result in an overall negative charge.
When an object becomes electrically charged, the result is a transfer of electrons. Excess electrons on the object cause it to become negatively charged, while a deficit of electrons results in a positive charge.
Electricity refers to the flow of electric charge through a conductor. This charge can result from an imbalance of protons and electrons in an object, creating a difference in electrical potential that can drive the flow of electrons.

Electrons are the particles that typically move from one object to another, carrying an electric charge. When electrons are transferred between objects, this can result in one object becoming positively charged (losing electrons) and the other becoming negatively charged (gaining electrons).
When you touch a charged object, the excess charge will flow between you and the object, leading to a transfer of electrons. This can result in a mild shock or spark, depending on the amount of charge and the conductivity of the objects involved.
An electrical charge is the result of the flow of electrons.
When electrons jump from one object to another, it is called static electricity. This transfer of electrons can result in an imbalance of charge between the objects, leading to the attraction or repulsion of the objects due to the electrostatic force.
Static electricity is caused by a tiny amount of imbalance of charge, where there is an excess or lack of electrons on an object's surface. This can result in the buildup of electric potential energy that can be discharged when the object comes into contact with a conductor or another object with a different charge.
An imbalance of electric charge on an object occurs when it has either gained or lost electrons, leading to a net positive or negative charge. This can happen through processes like friction, induction, or conduction, which can result in the object attracting or repelling other charged objects.
Electrons move from one object to another when two objects are rubbed together, causing a transfer of charge. This transfer can result in one object becoming positively charged (loss of electrons) and the other becoming negatively charged (gain of electrons).
Both conduction and induction involve a movement of electrons. Conduction is the transfer of electrons from a charged object to another object by direct contact. Induction does not involve direct contact. Instead, induction is the movement of electrons from one part of an object to another as a result of the electric field of the second object.
