“A positively charged object is an object that has an excess of positive electrons.”
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electrons are not positively charged. Positively charged objects have an excess of protons (which are positively charged).

Detailed explanation-2: -Positively charged objects ALWAYS contain more protons than electrons. The electrons on a positively charged object are positively charged.

Detailed explanation-3: -Materials with an excess of electrons are negatively charged. Those with a deficiency of electrons are positively charged.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gaining electrons results in more negative charge than positive charge, making the object charged negatively.

Detailed explanation-5: -Atoms that have lost electrons and become positively charged are called positive ions, and atoms that have gained electrons and become negatively charged are called negative ions.
