I assume by imbalance you mean excess of negative or positive charge (excess of protons or electrons) within the atoms comprising the object. This would cause the object to be attracted to objects with opposite charge, or repulsed by objects with the same charge. If you mean that the object is retaining electricity, then it will shock the living daylights out of you.

When you get zapped by static electricity what is happening?

When you get zapped by static electricity, it means that there is an imbalance of electric charge on your body or on the object you touch. This causes a sudden flow of electrons to even out the charge, resulting in a small but quick electric shock or spark.


What objects have an electric charge?

Every object contains charge but it s usually hidden in daily life because object contains equal number of positive and negative charges. However, imbalance in any of the charges(positive or negative) in objects is responsible for their interaction with other charged objects.


What atom has no balance between positive and electric charges?

No atom can have an imbalance in its charge; if it did, it would be an ion.


What is true about an object pulled inward in an electric field does it have negative charge object has charge of different field object has neutral charge or object has a charge same field?

Negitive


What is is an atom with an electric charge?

An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.


What happens when charged object are brought near uncharged objects?

What does an object get when it gains or loses electrons?

electric charge


To say that electric charge quantized is to say that the charge on an object is?

Quantized charge means that the charge on an object exists in integer units of the charge of an electron, e.g. object charge = Ne, where N is an integer number..


If an object a is attracted to a magnet does the abject a have a charge?

Charge is an electric field, A magnet has a magnetic field. If an object is attracted by a magnet it does not signify whither or not it has a charge.
