When an object is electrostatically charged, it means that it carries an imbalance of positive or negative charges. This can cause the object to attract or repel other nearby charged objects based on their charge polarity. The charged object may also create electric fields around it that can influence the behavior of other charged objects in its vicinity.
When a charged object interacts with a neutral object, it can induce a charge separation in the neutral object, causing it to become polarized. This can lead to attraction or repulsion between the charged object and the neutral object. However, no transfer of charge occurs between the two objects in this interaction.
An object becomes statically charged when it gains or loses electrons, resulting in an imbalance of positive and negative charges. This can happen through friction, induction, or conduction with another charged object.
The positively charged object will be attracted towards the negatively charged object due to the electrostatic force between opposite charges. The suspended object may move closer to or even touch the negatively charged object, depending on the strength of the charges and the distance between them.
The positively charged object will be attracted to the negatively charged object due to the electrostatic force between opposite charges. They will experience an attractive force and move towards each other until they reach equilibrium.
When a charged object is brought close to another oppositely charged object, they will experience an attractive force due to the difference in charge. If they are allowed to come into contact, electrons will transfer from the negatively charged object to the positively charged object until they reach equilibrium in charge distribution. This transfer of electrons will neutralize the objects.

An object becomes positively charged when it loses electrons. This can happen through processes such as friction, where electrons are transferred from one object to another, leaving one object with a positive charge.
