Question

An object becomes positively charged by:

  1. Losing electrons
  2. Gaining electrons
  3. Losing protons
  4. Gaining protons

hintHint:

An object must either gain or lose electrons in order to become charged. When electrons are lost, more positive than negative charge is produced, which charges the object positively.

The correct answer is: Losing electrons


    An object becomes positively charged by losing electrons.
    • The protons are positively charged and the electrons are negatively charged.
    • The object becomes positively charged when it loses the negatively charged electrons.
    • When the object is losing protons it becomes negatively charged.
