Electrostatic induction Electrostatic induction is the phenomenon in which a charged object causes a change in the electric field of a nearby neutral object, resulting in a separation of charge on the neutral object. This can be either an attraction or repulsion of the neutral object’s charges, depending on the type of charge on the …
Earth is a naturally occurring conductor and so it is commonly used to provide a reference for electrical circuits. This reference is known as grounding or earthing. In electrical systems, grounding or earthing provides a path for stray currents and other electrical disturbances to flow to the earth. Grounding also helps protect equipment from electrical …
Discharging in physics is the process of reducing the electric charge of an object or material. It is accomplished by transferring the charge to another object or by dissipating the charge into the environment as heat or light. Discharging can be caused by a variety of events, including friction, contact with another object, or the …
An electroscope is a device used to detect the presence or absence of an electric charge. It typically consists of two metal plates or leaves suspended from an insulating material like a rod, and usually connected to a metal plate at the bottom. When a charged object is brought near the electroscope, the leaves or …
The electric charge unit is the coulomb (C). One coulomb is equal to the charge of 6.241 x 10^18 electrons. The coulomb is the standard unit used to measure the amount of electric charge in a given system. It is a fundamental unit in the International System of Units (SI). The coulomb is a measure …

Electric charges can be positive or negative. Opposite electric charges attract each other. Like electric charges repel each other. Electric charges are conserved. Electric charges can be transferred from one object to another. Electric charges produce electric fields. Electric charges produce magnetism. Electric charges can be shielded or screened by certain materials.
Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is either discharged to ground or neutralized by a equal but opposite charge. It can be caused by a variety of processes, such as rubbing materials together, contact with certain materials, or the flow …
Electricity is the flow of tiny particles called electrons. Electrification or charging of objects is the process of adding or removing electrons from an object, making it either positively or negatively charged. This happens when two objects are rubbed together, transferring electrons from one to the other. This is why rubbing a balloon on your …

Atoms are electrically neutral because the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. The protons have a positive charge and the electrons have a negative charge, so the two forces cancel each other out, resulting in a neutral atom.
When two objects rub together, electrons can be transferred between them. This transfer of electrons causes a static electric charge to be built up on the surface of the objects. This charge causes the objects to attract each other due to the electrostatic force. The strength of the electrostatic force depends on the amount of …
