Question
An object becomes negatively charged by:
- Losing electrons
- Gaining electrons
- Losing protons
- Gaining protons
Hint:
We refer to the accumulation of charges on an object as static electricity. An object will have a net negative charge if it gains more of negatively charged particles called- electrons.
The correct answer is: Gaining electrons
An object becomes negatively charged when it gains electrons.
- The objects will be negatively charged when they have more electrons than protons.
- The electrons are negatively charged.
- It occurs when an object's atoms have a few less electrons missing from their electron shell than normal.
- In such a case, these atoms have a tendency to pick up electrons to fill their outer electron shell, resulting in negatively charged atoms.
