What are the two main types of charges?
The two main types of charges are proton[positive charge] and electrons [negative charge]
What are the different ways to charge an object?
Charging is the process of supplying electric charge (electrons) to or removing electric charge (electrons) from an object. There are several ways to charge an object.
- Charging by friction
- Charging by conduction
- Charging by induction
- Charging by friction
During an earthquake, how can you protect yourself?
