CHARGING
The process of supplying
the electric charge to an
object or losing an electric
charge from an object.

Law of Electrostatic Charge

Like charges repel and

unlike charges attract.

Positive Charge
When an object has a
positive charge, it means
that it has more protons
than electrons.
 slidesmania.com

Negative Charge
When an object has a
negative charge, it means
that it has more electrons
than protons.
 slidesmania.com

Neutral Charge
When an object has an
equal number of protons
and electron it means the
object is neutrally charge.

Process of Charging
Charging by Friction
When two objects are
rubbed against each other,
charge transfer takes place.

Process of Charging
Charging by Conduction
The method of charging an
uncharged object by bringing
it close and in contact with a
charged object.

Process of Charging
Charging by Induction
The method of charging an
uncharged object by bringing it
near a charged conductor
without any physical contact.
