Study Notes
Electric Charge
- Every object is made of tiny atoms
- Atoms contain electrons (negative), protons (positive), and neutrons (neutral)
- Gaining electrons results in a negative charge
- Losing electrons results in a positive charge
- An imbalance of charge creates static electricity
- Electric charge can be transferred through friction, conduction, or induction
- Moving electric charge creates an electric current
