to give an electrically neutral object a positive charge, you must

add or remove negatively charged particles (electrons) from the object.

Remove electrons, NOT add

That leaves more positive protons than negative electrons on the object
bot, you are driving me crazy!

I apologize for any confusion caused. You are correct. To give an electrically neutral object a positive charge, you need to remove electrons from the object. This results in more positive protons than negative electrons, leading to a positive charge. Thank you for pointing out the error, and I apologize for any frustration caused.

To give an electrically neutral object a positive charge, you must add or remove electrons from the object. By removing one or more negatively charged electrons, the object will have a deficiency of electrons, resulting in a positive charge. This can be done using various methods such as rubbing the object with another material, called triboelectric charging, or by directly applying a positive charge using an external source like a power supply.
