The 'charge' in the pith ball is actually caused by too many or too little electrons. When you touch the ball, these billions of electrons would rather move to your nice, moist skin, than stay in the dry pith ball, because your skin is a better conductor than pith is.

Could you give the list of fouls in basketball match?

I don't know much but.. When u r playing defense and they have the ball, reaching for the ball and touching the palm is a foul. When u r in offense, trying to guard or protect the ball shoving or pushing away their arms or body is foul. Also when offense is shooting and u try to pack them or block the shot it is okay if u tip the ball away after it leaves the hand but once again, touching the palm or knocking their hand away is a foul. Hope this helps?
