Electrons are negatively charged. Opposites attract, so they are attracted to positively charged bodies.

A positive charged body has is it deficit of electrons or excess of electrons?

A positively charge body is deficient in electrons (electrons are negatively charge, so a lack of them results in something being positively charged).


Why is electron for charging of a body?

Electrons carry a negative charge and are responsible for the electrical properties of atoms and molecules. When a body gains or loses electrons, it becomes positively or negatively charged. This transfer of electrons is what causes the body to become charged.


Why electric charge is produced in bodies by friction?

due to friction temperature increases and the valence electrons get enough energy to transfer from one body to the other. The body which loose electron get positive charge due to deficiency of electron and the body which gains electron become negatively charged due to excess of electrons.


Does a uncharged body have any charge?

No, a body that is uncharged has no net charge. This means that the total number of protons (positive charge) is balanced by the total number of electrons (negative charge) in the body, resulting in no overall charge.


What carries electric charge between your body and a carpet?

When walking on a carpet, the friction between your shoes and the carpet can cause the transfer of electrons (negatively charged particles) from one surface to the other. This creates a build-up of static electricity on your body, which can then be discharged when you touch a conductor like a metal object, causing a spark.

Is it true if a body has a charge similar to the charge produced on glass rod then the body is negatively charged?

Not necessarily. If a body has the same charge as a glass rod (negative), it means the body is negatively charged. The charge is determined by the excess or deficit of electrons on the body.


A positive charged body has is it deficit of electrons or excess of electrons?

A positively charge body is deficient in electrons (electrons are negatively charge, so a lack of them results in something being positively charged).


When is a substance is negatively charged?

A substance becomes negatively charged when it gains an excess of electrons, causing it to have an overall negative electrical charge compared to its surroundings. This can occur through processes like friction, contact with negatively charged materials, or exposure to radiation.


How does body becomes negatively charge?

It gains electrons. The only charged particles which can freely move from one object to another are electrons. Electrons have negative charge. So adding electrons gives a negative charge, and removing electrons gives the object a positive charge.


When a body is negatively charge by rubbing it means?

The body is negatively charged by friction means that when a body is moving, due to frictional force the body is gaining negative charges from the contact side/or from the surface on which it is being dragged.


How does a body become positively charged?

To charge it positively placed a negatively charge body near it. The positive charge of the sphere is attracted near to the surface close to the negatively charge body. To make it completely positive just earth it (by touching it). This process is known as induction. To charge a body negatively is similar to the aforementioned method.

When is a body charged negatively?

A body is charged negatively when it gains an excess of electrons, causing it to have an overall negative charge. This can happen through processes like friction, induction, or contact with a negatively charged object.


How a neutral body can be charged negatively by induction?

A neutral body can be charged negatively by induction when it is brought close to a negatively charged object. The negatively charged object repels electrons within the neutral body, causing the electrons to move towards the opposite side, leaving that side with a net positive charge. This results in the neutral body being negatively charged on one side.


What does a positively charged body have?

A positively charge body is deficient in electrons (electrons are negatively charge, so a lack of them results in something being positively charged). It also probably means it has a healthy diet and a daily health routine

What is a negatively charged matter?

Any material can be charged, either positively or negatively. It has no name as such. You can do that by shuffling your feet back and forth on a carpet and touching something. You can feel a spark from your finger. By shuffling your feet your body acquires a charge, which discharges when you touch a metal object that is grounded.
