Electric Charge

Electric Systems

Electric charge is a property of an object or system that affects its interactions with other objects or systems containing charge.

Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.

Elementary Electric Charge

All charged objects will be some quantity of the elementary charge'

Charging & Charge Distribution:

Friction, Conduction, and Induction

Triboelectric effect and charging

The triboelectric series is a list that ranks materials according to their tendency to gain or lose electrons. The process of electron transfer as a result of two objects coming into contact with one another and then separating is called triboelectric charging.

Charging by friction

Charging a rod by rubbing does not create electricity, it simply transfers or redistributes the charges in or on a material.

Conductors and insulators

In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot.

The ability of a material to hold a charge and/or transfer a charge is determined by the

Charging by induced polarization

An electric dipole is produced through the process of induction

Conservation of Electric Charge

Charge conservation is the principle that the total electric charge in an isolated system never changes.
