What is a negatively charged object?

  1. An object that has fewer electrons than protons

  2. An object that has the same number of protons and electrons

  3. An object that has more electrons than protons

  4. An object made up of only neutrons

The correct answer is: An object that has more electrons than protons

A negatively charged object is an object that has more electrons than protons. This creates a negative electric charge on the object. Option A is incorrect because this would cause a neutral electric charge, as protons and electrons have equal and opposite charges. Option B is also incorrect because this would also result in a neutral electric charge. Option D is incorrect because neutrons do not have a charge, therefore an object made up of only neutrons would not have an electric charge.
