• Static Electricity

The law that states that charges can't be created or destroyed

• Friction

• The Law of Conservation of Energy

• Conservation of Charge

The transfer of electrons from one uncharged object to another by rubbing

• Friction

• Electric Current

• Conduction

A method of charging something by letting electrons flow through one object to another by direct contact

• Conductor

• Conduction

• Induction

A method of redistributing the charge on an object by means of the electrical field of another object without direct contact

• Resistance

• Polarization

• Induction

The process through which electrons are attracted or repelled by an external electric field, causing electrons to move within their own atoms
