What happens to make an object have a negative charge?
If electrons > protons negative charge
(gains electrons)
InductionElectrons transferred when a neutral object is near a charged object (in the
electric field)
Insulators
Insulators: materials that do NOT allow electrons to flow through them
easily.
Insulators can be easily charged by friction as the extra electrons gained CANNOT easily escape.

Why does the man get zapped?
He is positively charged and the electrons jump to him during electric discharge
Why are many electrical objects grounded?
So extra electrons go to the ground and do not build up on materials to shock people
Maybe the caravan was struck by lightning. The van and the balloon have opposite charges so they stick together. The man is charged and has a lot of negative charges.
