Law of Conservation of Charge

Charge can be transferred from one object to another, but the total charge of a closed system remains constant.

 The charge of a single electron, - e, is _________________________

 The charge of a single proton, +e, is ___________________________

In the SI system, the basic unit of charge is called the _______________________

Electrical Conductivity

Solids

Movement of ________________ through an object.

Liquids

Movement of _________________________________ through a liquid (electrolyte)

Gases

Movement of _________________________________ through a gas

Charging by Friction

 Electricity was discovered when ______________________

________________________________________________

 The act of rubbing caused ___________________________

from the fur to the amber.

 The amber thus acquired a __________________________

(an excess of electrons), whereas the fur was left with
________________________________________________
(an excess of positive ions).

 This process is called __________________________

Induced Charged Separation

 The negatively charged rod ________________________________,

which are then redistributed throughout the material.

 The electrons thus move __________________________________

 _____________________________ remains on the portion of the

paper nearest the rod, and ____________________________stays
on the paper opposite the rod.

Grounding

 Grounding occurs whenever any

 Grounding works because ____________________________

that any extra electrons going into or out of the ground have
an insignificant effect on Earth.
