MECHANISMS OF CHARGING
FRICTION

One material is rubbed with

another material. As in glass
is rubbed with silk and the
glass becomes positively
charged and the silk
becomes negatively charged

MECHANISMS OF CHARGING
CONDUCTION

A charged object becomes in

contact with a conductor.
Charges transfer and the
conductor becomes charged.
