Electrostatic

neutral object

has an equal number of protons and electrons and has no net charge

positively charged

object has lost electrons

electron deficient

lost of electrons

negatively charged

gained electrons

excess of electrons

gain of electrons

polarisation

the partial or complete polar separation of positive and negative electric charge in a system

quantization

division of charge in smaller units

principle of conservation of charge

charge can’t be created or destroyed, it can only can be transferred from one subject to another

principle of charge quantization

every stable and independent object has a charge that is an integer multiple of the elementary charge.

Tribo-electric charging

type of contact electrification in which certain materials become electrically charged after they come into contact with another different material and are then separated

principle of conservation of charge

the net charge of an isolated system remains constant during and physical process

principle of charge quantization

all charges in the universe consist of an integer multiple of the charge of an electron
