That may be one way to do it. But consider this: It would cost you a million dollars

for a machine that could manipulate protons and fire a beam of them into the object,

or about 8¢ for a piece of wool that could scrape a few electrons off of the object and

produce the same net positive charge. As a practical person and a realistic businessman,

which option would be more attractive to you ?

CAN An object becomes positively charged by gaining protons?

Yes, although the identity of the element changes (i.e. it will no longer by Hydrogen if you add a proton but it will be Helium.)


What happen to an object to make it positive charged?

when it has more protons.


What kind of charge does an object have if it has more protons than electrons?

The " object " would have a positive charge because protons are positively charged./


Does an object which is positively charged contains all protons and no electrons?

No; at least, not necessarily. To be positively charged, and object simply needs to contain *more* protons than electrons. Inversely, the same is true of negatively charged objects, which only need to have more electrons than protons.


When an object positively charged it has more blank than blank?

If the Object is an aton, it has more protons than electrons.


Why would an object become charged by losing electrons?

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.


What kind of charge does an object acquire when electrons stripped from it?

A positive charge


What does it mean if an atom is positively charged?

If an atom is positively charged, it has lost one or more electrons and has more protons than electrons. This results in an overall positive charge due to the unbalanced positive charges from the protons.


If an object has a positive charge what has it done?

If an object has a positive charge, it has lost electrons and now has more protons than electrons. This excess of positive charge causes the object to repel other positively charged objects and attract negatively charged objects.


What is the overall charge when an atom has more protons than electrons?

It has a positive charge.


What does it mean when an object is charged?

When an object is charged, it either has a surplus or deficiency of electrons. If it has a surplus, the object is negatively charged, and if it has a deficiency, then it is positively charged (has more protons than electrons).


An object becomes positively charged if it?

Its number of Protons is more than Electrons
