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
Opposite charges attract. So an electrical charged object will attract ions which happen to be around them. When these ions touches the object they give off their charge and gets charged the other way and gets repelled from the object. So you end up with these ions moving to and from the object shuffling charges from other objects nearby.
