Best Answer

When you make an object charged, you have either added or removed electrons from it. Adding electrons makes it negatively charged, and removing electrons makes it positively charged.

Electrons move onto the object, giving it a static charge.

How do you make negative Charge?

by taking a negatively charged object and touching it with the object that you want to be charged


What happens when a charged object is brought to another oppositely charged object?

There will be flow of electrons from negatively charged object towards the positively charged object making an attempt to make both of them electrically neutral.


What happen to an object to make it positive charged?

when it has more protons.


Does a charged object effect an non charged object?

No.


Can a negative charged object attract other negative charged objects?

objects can be negatively charged when it is rubbed with another object; a woolen cloth for example. this is because the electrons from the woolen cloth will be transferred to the object which is being rubbed! only electrons can be transferred to the object and make the object becomes negatively charged.


How is the charge on a charged object maintained?

If the object remains ungrounded it will remain charged.


What are some ways in which an object can become charged?

Some ways in which an object can become charged are friction, contact and induction.


How do objects become negatively charged using the contact method?

when a negatvely charged object touches a neutrally charged object electrons move to the neutraly charged object making it negativly charged!


A charged object does not affect an object that has no charge?

It depends on the type of non-charged object. If the object is made of conductive material, a charged object will induce a separation of charge in the non-charged object. Its net charge will still be zero. If the object is not conductive, there will be no significant effect.


What object repels a positively charged object?

A positively charged object. Like charges repel.


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).


What object can be attracted by a charged object?

A negatively charged object. Also, a neutral object, through an induced separation of charges.
