what are three ways to charge an object?

But seriously, folks, how about:\n1. Static charge, done any number of ways, most involving a dry day and a bit of stroking or rubbing.\n2. Send current into a rechargeable battery.\n3. Refill a fire extinguisher.\nBonus item:\n4. Run toward it very fast making bellowing noises.

you're well insulated.  Therefore when you collect charge from moving around, you don't lose it very easily.  Then you touch something, a door, or metal that is a very good conductor....you lose the charge in the form of static electricity.  walking around on plastics will do the trick...turf, trampolenes, synthetic carpeting.  As they are very willing to give you charge that they have built up, and if you're well insulated...you start collecting it.

(hm hm condenser...you must be old school)well we can and kind of have in ways. Helmholtz described charge starge devices that are largely used today as "batteries" for memeory backup. such a charge storage device has great capacity and unlike the capacitors it can be put in series to increase bothe input and output voltage. the internal dielectric is not very great so there is considerable leakage compared to a tradition electrolytic. the scheme used today comprises as a layer of activated charcoal a dielectric layer and then another charcoal layer. you can buy these easity in small units that are as muc as a few fards and a few voltas. \nwhen the lighting strikes, though, the power factor is so low that the internal wiring are likely to burn out. there is c acomapnay, (i dont remember the name), is designing such "batteries" as a methos for propelling vehicles. i think the name of the comapny is Maxwell (not be confused with Maxell).\ni personally have experimented in creating such batteries that store energy as dc but when released it is AC! such a battery would be used in vehicles with more efficient motors and safer too. An ac battery of course would require controls and would use similar schema as what Helmholz described.....\nthere is a great book on Helmholz publised by UC press that leaves one to think that this amn knew way more than einstein ever did and his genius out stripped einstein and leaves him in the dust.\nalso one does no need lightning. therer are enough free electrons in the air to creat a good chrage over time. take a CRT from stock never used is ok, and touch the anode dimple. knocks you right back. that is a charge from the air.

There are two piece to the power cord. One piece that plugs into the compter and then that piece plugs into another cord that plugs into the outlet.

Static electricity is simply an electric charge. Yes you can collect generate and use an electric charge to power things. What is generally referred to as static electricity is an electric charge that is developed as an incidentally.

Friction causes the electrical charge. Touch something rubber to kill it. Touch metal to continue the conduction thus shocking yourself or others. Break the curcuit.

get some batteries, get some wires, and a very small lightbulb and a socket. So it should look like this:\nBattery(+) ... wire ... paperclip ... lightbulb ... wire ... (-)Battery

choose one or the other and place it by the object next to you.  If they attract, they have opposite charges.  If they repel, they have the same charge.

Standard AAA lithium rechargable batteries require specific chargers to get maximum life from the battery.  "Trickle" (slow charging) is always safer, but you need to have the right terminal voltage to fully charge (but not over-charge) the battery.\n\nThe safest way is to use the right charger, or, look up the battery properties from the manufacturer's website.  For example, if the battery is a 1.5V battery, you can charge with a 1.6V charger (1.6V is needed to overcome internal battery resistance), while measuring the charging current.  Some batteries charge with constant current for part of the charging cycle, switching to constant voltage for the final part.  The manufacturer can tell you what is the best cycle.\n\nWhat you don't want to do is to charge a battery with a nominal 1.2V rating with a 1.6V charger at high current.  The battery will heat up and possibly explode, so make sure if you use a different charger that the voltage is within about 0.1V and the current isn't too high.

you should put it in a anti-static bag first then put it into bubble wrap or a jiffy bag,then for saftey and transit put it in a box filled with polystyrene

if there's a charge it's ionic.

Use the Nickel Metal..Put your steel into a electrolysis solution of Nickle  electrolytes and charge it with electric anode and cathodes.

Don't try this one yourself! Use a pet rat or something!\n...\nActually, don't! Or i'll get hunted by Animal Rights Activists!!\n\nAll you need is a battery, two wires and a large capacitor.\nCharge the capacitor by connecting the battery across it with the two wires.\nThen disconnect the wires.\nThe capacitor has now been charged - if you put your hands across the terminals, you'll get a nasty shock.

1. it has two pole, north and south pole\n2. if u hang it up by a rope it will face north-south\n3. it always pull the opposite charged object to it.\n4. when it break, the broken parts get same charge and neglect each other to connect.

You can definitely build up enough of a static charge to damage electronic components. The usual procedure is to work on a grounded surface and connect yourself to it with a wrist strap. Lacking that, wear cotton and touch the computer chassis to ground yourself before touching any circuit components.

Yes.  It consists in sticking two metallic objects of different kind, usually a galvanized nail and a copper coin, in a potato or lemon. These two objects work as electrodes, producing an electrochemical reaction that generates a small amount of electricity.
