$\huge\underline\mathtt\colorbox{cyan}{For Positively Charged:}$

By gaining electrons from the ground, the object will have a balance of charge and therefore be neutral. Grounding is the grounding of a positively charged object and involves the transfer of electrons from the ground into the object.

$\huge\underline\mathtt\colorbox{red}{For Negatively Charged:}$

If it is to have its charge removed, then it will have to lose its excess electrons. Once the excess electrons are removed from the object, there will be equal numbers of protons and electrons within the object and it will have a balance of charge.
