## Static Electricity
-`Static Charges`: An unequal number of individual electric charges on the surface of an object.
- Basically, the charges are **nearly fixed** on the **surface** of an object.
- An object is:
|Charge|Condition|
|:-----|:--------|
|Positively Charged|When number of `electrons` are **less than** the number of `protons`|
|Neutrally Charged|When the number of `electrons` are **the same** as the number of `protons`|
|Negatively Charged|When the number of `electrons` are **more than** the number of `protons`|
- Charge is basically the difference between the amount of protons and electrons, the greater the difference, the greater the charge.
- A greater charge between objects is determined by the amount of difference between the protons and electrons in each of the objects. The one with more difference has a greater charge.
## Charging By Friction
- When 2 objects of different materials rub against one another, the electrons moves between the objects, one loses electrons and the other gains electrons.
- The object that gains electrons becomes negatively charged, and the other becomes positevely charged.
## Triboelectric Series / Electrostatic Series
- Different materials have different abilities to hold onto electrons
-`Triboelectric Series`: A list of material that is arranged according to their ability to hold on to electrons.
