Objects can be charged in three ways: by contact, by conduction, and by induction Electric charge is a conserved quantity, which means it can be neither created nor destroyed

Electric charge comes in two varieties, which are called positive and negative Charges with the same sign repel each other.

induction — creating an unbalanced charge distribution in an object by moving a charged object toward it (but without touching). Coulomb’s law — describes the electrostatic force between charged objects, which is proportional to the charge on each object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the…. proton — subatomic particle that carries the same magnitude charge as the electron, but its charge is positive. law of conservation of charge — states that total charge is constant in any process.
