A normal atom has the same amount of electrons and protons, making it neutral. An atom develops a positive charge when it loses an electron(s). Once it loses an electron(s), there would now be more protons that electrons.

Short answer: by losing an electron(s)

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^
