Electrostatics

Question 1

Positively charged:

Answer 1

charged: Electrons are removed making the object electron deficient.

Question 2

Negatively charged:

Answer 2

Electrons are added giving the object an excess of electrons.

Question 3

Electrostatic force:

Answer 3

The force exerted by static charges on each other.

Question 4

The principle of conservation of charge:

Answer 4

The net charge of an isolated system remains constant

during any physical process, e.g. two charge objects making contacting and separating.
