Charging By Friction

Transfer of electrons from one object to another by rubbing.
Charging By Conduction

Electrons transfer from object that has negative charges to positive charged object.
Charging by Induction

Electrons move to one part of an object because it is in the electric field of another object.
Static Discharge

The loss of static has negative charge transfer from one object to another.
Three methods of charging

Friction, Conduction and Induction
Charging By Friction Example

Clothes rubbing together in a dryer, feet rubbing on a carpet.
Charging by Conduction Example

Foot becomes charged by friction, rest of body becomes charged because it has contact with foot.
Charging by Induction Example

Electrons on fingertips cause electrons on doorknob to move away, leaving doorknob with a positive charge.
Electrons

They carry the electric charge around the circuit; have a negative charge
electric current

The continuous flow of electric charges through a material
current

A flow of electric charge. A flow of electrons
electricity

A form of energy used in telegraphy from the 1840s on and for lighting, industrial motors, and railroads beginning in the 1880s.
