- Electrostatics - study of electromagnetic phenomena that occur when there are no moving charges after a static equilibrium
- Electricity - way of carrying energy from one point to another
- Electrical charge - A property that causes matter to be experiencing a force when placed in an electromagnetic field
- Elementary charge - the smallest amount of charge that can be carried by the subatomic particle
- Cation - positive ions formed when electrons are removed
- Anion - ions formed when protons are removed
- Conductors - A substance that has free electrons and allows charge to move freely through it
- insulators - materials that can hold electrons securely within their orbits
- Charging by friction - rubbing things together
- Charging my conduction - when charged objects come into contact
- Charging by induction - there is no actual contact between the charged object and being charged
- Electrostatic Force - amount and direction of attraction or repulsion between two charged objects
