Property of matter (Electric charge (creates electricity, static…

- - - - A build up of electric charge in an object caused by the presence of many particles with the same charge
      - becomes charged when there is an imbalance of positive and negative charges
        
        charge usually results from the movement of electrons between objects call "conduction"
      - Charging by contact
        
        two uncharged objects made of certain materials touch eachother and electrons move from one material to the other
      - Charging by induction
        
        induction - the buildup of charge without contact
        
        An object with a charge effects an uncharged object without touching it by attracting the different charges
      - charge polarization
        
        due to induction one side of an object is charged one charge and the other side the other charge
