A charged object is matter that either has a surplus of electrons (negatively charged) or a deficiency of electrons (positively charged).

A charged object is a matter that either has a surplus of electrons negatively charged or a deficiency of electrons positively charged. When two objects are rubbed together, some electrons from one object move to another object. For example, when a plastic bar is rubbed with fur, electrons will move from the fur to the plastic stick. Therefore, plastic bar will be negatively charged and the fur will be positively charged.

ANSWER

When people say, my laptop is "charged" that means that object has been stricked by electricit enough for the whole day.

ANSWER

The word "charged" has several different meanings, and the meaning depends largely upon what sort of object you are asking about.

(1) At the level of subatomic particles, charge is a fundamental property (also called the Q property) that we don't fully understand. We know it when we see it, but we don't really know what it is or what causes it. We also know that charge comes in two opposite types that we call "positive" and "negative". So at that level, when we say that a subatomic particle is charged, we mean that it has either the positive charge property (a proton, for example) or the negative charge property (an electron, for example). Some particles don't have either charge property (a neutron, for example).

Again, even though we don't really know what charge or Q is, we recognize it by the behavior of particles that have it or don't have it.

At the level of ordinary objects that we interact with, charge affects objects in three ways: electrostatic charge, chemical electrodynamic charge and generated electrodynamic charge. Since the outside of every ordinary object is completely covered with negatively charged electrons, and since most of the positively charged particles are deeply buried in the nucleus of each atom, when we talk about charges we usually talk about negative charges because they are the only ones that we can get at and move around conveniently.

(2) Electrostatic charge could mean that the outside of an ordinary object has picked up an excess of electrons that have been removed from other objects, and we call the object negatively charged. It also could mean that electrons have been removed from the outside of the object leaving a shortage of electrons, and we call the object positively charged. An object that has approximately the number of electrons that it is normally supposed to have is called neutral. The main technological use that we have for electrostatic charge is in devices call capacitors.

(3) Chemical electrodynamic charge refers to moving electrons into a device called an energy cell (a collection of several energy cells in the same package is called a battery). An energy cell contains chemicals that are capable of reacting with each other in two ways. When electrons (with their negative charges) are forced into the cell by a charger, the chemicals change into different chemicals that are capable of reacting to release energy (and negative charges). When the energy cells are discharged, the chemicals react to release their energy and charges. Some energy cells cannot be recharged; they are charged once at the factory, and when all of the original chemicals have been changed to chemicals that cannot produce energy or move charges, the cell must be disposed of.

(4) Generated electrodynamic charge is what powers your household, what powers any appliance that is plugged into a wall socket. In a factory called a power plant, huge machines called generators move electrons and their charges through thick wires. The electrons and charges moving through the wires cause energy to make the appliance operate. Wires that are connected to the power plant are charged or energized or powered. Wires that are disconnected by a switch or by unplugging the wires are uncharged or unenergized or unpowered.

A charged object is an object that has either a surplus or deficiency of electrons, and is negatively and positively charged respectively.

An uncharged object is a 'neutral' object that has an equal number of protons and electrons.

a charged atom is called an ion, also electricly charged gas (or ionized gas) is called plasma

What can happen when an charged object can be brought near an uncharged object?

A neutrally charged object can still be affected by a charged object. If a neutrally charged object is being approached by a negatively charged objects, the electrons within the neutrally charged object will migrate to the other side (as the two negative charges repel), leaving the side closes to the negative object positive. Protons do not move. From there, the protons are attracted to the electrons, therefore moving the 'uncharged' object.

Can you say that a charged object attracts an uncharged object by first charging it by induction why or why not?

Cönsider a negatively charged object be placed at a fixed position ,now a neutral or uncharged object is slowly introducing into the field which is produced by the electrons in negatively charged object.... And now according to the law of charges opposite charges attract each other similar thing taking place here the electrons present on the negatively charged object attracts the positive charge in neutral object by separting the charges inside the object wich is called induction as soon as the neutral object enters into the field produce by negatively charged object ...,and then it attracts...


What attract when a charged object is brought close to an uncharged object use?

If positively charged body is brought near then opposite charges i.e. negative charges are induced and hence attraction occurs


How a charged rod placed near an uncharged metal object can repel?

Charged rod and an uncharged metal object attract each other because free electrons in metal are either attracted or repelled by the charged rod. If the rod is positively charged then free electrons are attracted towards it and both objects attract each other. If the rod is negatively charged then free electrons are repelled by it and positive ions are attracted by the rod and both objects attract each other.

What are induced charges?

Due to an object nearby, the electrons move to a specific direction as they are either attracted or repelled by it. Such as if there is a negatively charged object near an uncharged object, the electrons in the uncharged object will move as far away from the negative object as possible, and this is what you called an induced charge.
