How do charged objects become neutral? If I charge an object and keep it at some place forever, will it forever be charged?
In: Physics
Two ways, by gaining particles of the opposite charge or by emitting charged particles. This flow of charged particles is essentially electricity. Opposite charges attract (and same charges repel) so if you try and make an object have a high charge then nearby opposite charges will be attracted, and it will repel like charges away.
