How are electrically charged particles formed?

Answer 1

The basic charged particles are the proton (positive) and electron (negative). Normally the electrostatic force of attraction keeps them together within atoms and molecules, and in this state they are electrically neutral. Objects become charged when there is an excess or a shortage of electrons, produced for example by rubbing a dry cloth, or by the air currents in a thunder cloud.

Answer 2

Such particles are formed in pairs, such that total charge is conserved. For example, a high-energy photon (light particle - electrically neutral) can become an electron (negative charge) and an anti-electron (also known as positron - positive charge). As you can see, in a sense, no new charge is created - the positive and negative charges cancel one another. However, the charges are separated, so to speak.

Answer 3

Charged particles are collectively referred to as plasma.

Individually charged atoms are referred to as ions.
