How does the movement of electrons between two objects cause buildup of electric charges?

Electrons are negatively charged, they don't have to move to be that. If they do move in an otherwise electrically neutral material, they leave behind an imbalance in charge that is positive. The question is poorly worded, possibly because of confusion, but in reality, nothing creates any charge, ever - charge is a fact of nature, it is always present and does not change. All that may change is the balance of positive and negative charges in any one spot.

∙ 14y agoElectrical charges are, essentially, electrons passing through the circuit. In a conductor like Copper, the electrons are free to move around the nuclei of the Copper atoms. This is because the nuclei all provide the same force on the electrons, making it easy to move from one nuclei to the other.
When you turn on a light switch, the electrons move through the circuit. This doesn't mean the same electron you moved when you turned the light switch on suddenly appeared almost instantaneously into the light. While electrons themselves move at a speed of 106 m/s, the net movement of electrons in a conductor is described as drift velocity, usually around 10-4 m/s (MUCH slower than most people think).
The reason why turning on a light switch makes the lights turn on so fast is that the circuit is like a hose full of water; when you add one molecule of water into one side, you force another molecule of water out the other side. Its not the same molecule, but the first molecule pushed the second one, which pushed the third one..... etc. This is how electrons move through a circuit.

HOW does electricity make motion?
Electric motors work by placing the opposite poles of an electromagnet that is fixed onto a spindle or axle near to either end of a fixed magnet. This causes the moving electromagnet to spin slightly then come to a halt. If, at the correct time, the battery or other source of current feeding the electromagnet is flipped - thus reversing the polarity - it will complete another slight spin in the same direction. The repitition of this action provides the movement required to make the spindle of the motor rotate.Other answersWhat makes a motor turn is based on the fact that magnetic fields produce physical force that can move things. If you have ever played with magnets you have seen this in action as you use one magnet to attract another magnet or force it to move without touching it, depending on how you line up their poles.All magnets have a north pole and a south pole. Like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other.So, in a motor, electricity is used to create magnetic fields that oppose each other and cause something to move, which happens to the motor's rotating part, called the "rotor".On the rotor there are loops of wiring - called "windings" - that have an opposing magnetic field to a magnetic field produced in the housing of the motor that does not move, which is called the "stator". Its magnetic field is produced either, in the case of a very small motors, by permanent magnets or, for most other sizes of electric motor, by loops of wiring called"field windings".It is the repelling action of the opposing magnetic fields which causes the rotor to turn inside the stator.In heavy electric motors having field windings, big problems can arise from excessive heat buildup - including a high risk of the motor's windings and/or its power input cables catching on fire - if something ever prevents the rotor from turning whilst it is still being supplied with electricity. If properly-sized circuit breakers are not installed to give the motor adequate overcurrent protection, any general overloading of the motor or siezed rotor shaft bearings can easily cause such problems.For more information please click on the Related Linkbelow.Electric motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.Inside the cover of any electric motor there are 2 kinds of magnets:One does not move and is called the "stator". On some kinds of electric motors the stator can be a permanent magnet and on others it can be an electromagnet.The other kind of magnet is called the "rotor" because it rotates inside the stator. The rotor is always an electro-magnet and when you give it electricity, its copper coils make its metal pieces (which are in the middle of the coils) magnetic.

Describe how the movement of electrons between two objects with balanced charges could cause the buildup of electric charge in both objects-?
Electrons have a charge of minus one,and by moving them between objects, they attract charges, and hence they built up charges in them.
What causes static buildup on cars and airplanes?
Adhesive forces between the air they travel through and the vehicle caused by the vehicle's movement cause electrons to transfer between the air and the vehicle. An excess or shortage of electrons (relative to the surrounding medium) is basically the definition of a static charge.
