The answer is electrons.Electrons are more mobile than protons.Thus it moves from one object to another.

Is an electric charge a property of just electricity or is charge a property of all atoms?
Atoms contain both positive (protons) and negative (electrons) electric charges. But in the vast majority of atoms these positive and negative electric charges balance, canceling and resulting in zero total electric charge. When electrons detach from atoms we generate electricity. Where there are fewer electrons there is a positive charge. Where there are more electrons there is a negative charge. When two places have different charges we get an electric voltage. When electrons flow from a negatively charged place to a positively charged place we get an electric current.
What happens to a positively charged object place within a positive electric field?
It will be pushed away from the source of the electric field.
What energy transformation takes place when you turn a radio?
sound to electric energy
What type of reaction takes place when electricity is passed through acidified water?
Electric decomposition or electrolytic decomposition takes place (both are the same and mean the same)
Why do ionic bonds allow for good conductivity?
Electric current is moving charges. Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electric current because the charged ions are locked into place. But if you dissolve an ionic compound in water or melt it, it can conduct electric current. This is because the ions are then free to move.
What is the movement of static charge from one place to another?
Static Discharge:Perhaps you see a spark jump between your hand and the doorknob. The spark is an example of an electric discharge. An electric discharge is the movement of static charge from one place to another. The spark you saw was the result of a static charge moving between your hand and the doorknob.
A person who travels to another place for a holiday?
A person who travels to another place for a holiday is a tourist.
What is electric charge build up one place?
builds a charge in one place
What is the Electric charge that has built up in one place referred to as?
The electric charge that has built up in one place is referred to as static electricity.
What is an oscillation that travels from one place to another?
A wave
How can the electrical potential energy of a charged particle in an electric field be increased?
THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION IF WE PLACE THE CHARGE IN THE ELECTRIC FIELD AT A DISTANCE R FROM THE ELECTRIC FIELD AND PLACED THE ANOTHER POINT CHARGE AT A ANOTHER DISTANCE r WHERE R IS GRATER THAN THE SMALL R THEN THE ELECTRIC FIELD AT r IS MORE THAN THE ELECTRIC FIELD AT POINT R.ORWE CAN SAY THAT IF THE CHARGE IS PLACED IN THE DIRECTION OF ELECTRIC FIELD THAN ITS ELECTROSTATIC POTENTIAL ENERGY WILL DECREASE OR WHEN IN DIRECTION OPPOSITE THAN VICEVERSA
What travels from one place to another during a wave motion?
Radio frequencies, UV rays, sound, light, and electricity travels from one place to another during a wave motion.
What travels from what place to another yet is always stuck in a corner?

Is electric charge a tiny amount of energy?
Depends on the amount of the electric charge and on which place it is stored. Two clouds with a big amount of a potential electric charge, one positive and the other negative, will produce a huge amount of energy represented by a lightning bolt.
What travels from one place to another yet is always stuck in the corner?
A Stamp
What is the fundamental carrier of electric charge?
The fundamental carrier of electric charge is the electron. The charge on one electron is 1.6021765 × 10−19 Coulomb, and is negative. Charge can't exist in any smaller quantity, and all charges are multiples of this quantity. Protons have a positive charge of the same quantity, but they stay in their respective nuclei and don't participate in the movement of charge from place to place.
