What are the two ways to transfer electrical charges?
Friction - charging something by rubbing it against another object Induction - charging something by coming close to charged object, but not touching Conduction - charging something by touching a charged object
What is discharging in physics?
Discharging in electricity & magnetism is the process where an electrically charged object "loses" its electrical charges to become a neutral object.
What are the charges of electricity?
An electrical charge can be one of two opposites, which are traditionally called "positive" and "negative". If there is no charge on an object, the object is said to be "neutral".
Describe the 3 types of friction?
Three types of friction are :1. Kinetic friction :Friction that arises between surfaces in relative motion.2. Static friction :Friction that acts between surfaces at rest with respect to each other3. Rolling friction : Friction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface.3_types_of_friction
A charged object exerts what on other charged objects?
Either an attractive or repelling electrical force. It depends on what the charges of the objects are.

What object is not electrically neutral?
A object without electrical charges.
What object is not an electrically neutral?
A object without electrical charges.
What occurs when electrical charges build up on a surface of an object?
When you build up electrical charges on the surface of an object you get static. Static can result in a small shock if the electrical charge is given a direct conductive contact to the ground.
A sudden movement of electrical charges from one object to another?
electrical discharge
What must a neutral object contain?
The electrical charges were each other neutralized.
What is the sudden movement of electrical charges from one one object to another?
Discharge

Describe two forces that can affect an objects velocity?
Friction and Gravity are the two forces that affects an object's velocity. Friction is caused by both air and the surface on which an object is moving. Gravity is caused by Earth.
What does it mean for an object to have electrical charge?
If an object has an electrical charged, it usually means that and electrical current also known as a flow of electrons is passing through it.
Can friction make object yes or no?
Friction can make object no.
