Detailed explanation-1: -And consistent with our fundamental principle of charge interaction, a positively charged object will attract a negatively charged object. Oppositely charged objects will exert an attractive influence upon each other.
Detailed explanation-2: -For an object to become charged, it must either gain or lose electrons. Losing electrons results in more positive charge than negative charge, making the object charged positively. Gaining electrons results in more negative charge than positive charge, making the object charged negatively.
Detailed explanation-3: -An electrical charge is created when electrons are transferred to or removed from an object. Because electrons have a negative charge, when they are added to an object, it becomes negatively charged. When electrons are removed from an object, it becomes positively charged.
Detailed explanation-4: -Any particle, whether an atom, molecule or ion, that contains less electrons than protons is said to be positively charged. Conversely, any particle that contains more electrons than protons is said to be negatively charged.
