How object is charge?

According to what I learned yesterday in our virtual session together with

my groupmates, an object is charged when the electrons and protons within an
atom carry the majority of the electric charge. Although these labels are
completely arbitrary, electrons are said to carry a negative charge and protons
are said to carry a positive charge. An electrical charge is created when
electrons are transferred to or removed from an object. Because electrons have
a negative charge, adding them to an object causes it to become negatively
charged. When electrons are removed from an object, it becomes positively
charged. The object gets charged when its atom loses an electron to become
an ion. According to (Pūtaiao, 2019), when two materials rub against one another
or come into touch, an electrical charge is produced. Electrons can actually rub
off of one thing and onto another when the materials are in touch. This does not
mean that any two materials will move electrons when rubbed together. Other
materials are far more likely to take electrons, whereas some materials are much
more ready to offer electrons.

There are ways to charge an object (Busch). These are the following:
 • Charging by friction. Electrons move from one surface to another as
a result of friction, which is the rubbing of one material against another. Materials
that are poor conductors, such as insulators, can be charged with friction.

• Charging by conduction. Conduction is utilized to charge materials

like metals, which are excellent conductors. A portion of the charge, whether
positive or negative, will transfer when a charged object is touched by
conductive material.

• Charging by induction. Induction is the last method of charging an

object and is once more ideal for conductive materials. The charged object is
held close to the uncharged conductive substance, which is grounded on any
neutrally charged material.

Quantization and conservation of electric charge.

The transfer of electrons from one material to another is referred to as an

"electric charge. So, negative charge indicates an excess of electrons, whereas
positive charge indicates an electron deficiency. Quantization charge means
that when we say something has a certain charge, we mean how many times
the charge of a single electron it has. This is possible because all charges are
associated with a single electron.

Furthermore, conservation states that the total electric charge in an

isolated system never changes. The net quantity of electric charge, which is the
sum of positive and negative charge in the universe, is always conserved. The
system, as we know, is a collection of objects, and its interaction with charges is
similar to the conservation of energy and momentum. However, this conservation
law is more intuitive because an object's net charge depends on the number of
electrons and protons. Protons and electrons cannot appear or vanish out of
nowhere, and their total charge must be the same. That is why a body always has
the same number of electrons and protons.
