Law of Conservation of Charge
A charge is a characteristic of matter that causes it to create and experience electrical and magnetic effects. The underlying idea behind charge conservation is that the system’s overall charge is conserved. It can be defined as follows:
According to the rule of conservation of charge, the total charge of an isolated system will always remain constant. At any two time intervals, any system that is not exchanging mass or energy with its surroundings will have the same total charge.
When two objects in an isolated system each have a net charge of zero and one of the body transfer one million electrons with the other, the object with the surplus electrons will be negatively charged, while the object with the fewer electrons will have a positive charge of the same magnitude.
The total charge of the system has never changed and will never change.
Charging by Induction
Charging by Induction- A spark or crackling sound emerges when our synthetic garments or sweaters are removed from our bodies, especially in dry weather. This is virtually unavoidable with feminine apparel, such as polyester sarees. Lightning, in the sky during thunderstorms, is another case of electric discharge. It is an electric shock always felt while opening a car door or grabbing the iron bar of a bus after sliding out of our seats.
