Question

An object becomes positively charged when electrons are removed from it

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

If an object is neutral in charge and if electrons are removed from it then it will become positive charge.

It happens beacuse previously the object was neutral means equal number of electrons and protons. But now, as the electrons are removed; number of positive charge has increased.

Thus it makes the given object positive charge.

But if the object is negative charge already then, we dont know how much electrons should be removed from it such that it will become positive, beacuse in question it has not been mentioned.

So by assuming that object was neutral, it will become positive charge when electrons are removed.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes!

Explanation:

So to answer your interesting question, I need to tell you the theory too.

So, lets go back and see how atoms are made.

A past journey

Atoms are the building blocks, and when the atoms were formed then the positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons fused together to form neutons (which means neutral in nature i.e. having no charge!) and neutrons, protons and electrons together formed an atom.

One thing to understand is that, in an atom the charge of a proton and an electron is the same, though the size of proton to electron can be taken as a ratio of a football stadium to a pea!

So, an atom is neutral in nature i.e. neither negatively charged nor positively charged.

So, now you know that an atom is a home of protons (positively charged), electrons (negatively charged) and neutrons (neutral).

So, if you take electrons away from an atom then that atom will become positively charged b'cause there will be a positive charge by the protons.

Hence, your statement is right and is proved.
