a. Charges at rest - iii. Static Charges at rest are defined as static charges. The two types of static charges are positive and negative. Like charges repel and unlike charges attract. b. Charges in motion - v. Current Charges in motion cause the current. Current is caused by the movement of electric charges. c. Accumulation of charges - iv. Charging Accumulation of static charges on an object is called charging. When a particular charge gets accumulated on a body, the body will be of that charge. That is how we classify bodies into positive and negative bodies. d. Loss of charge - i. Discharge Loss of static charge by an object is called the discharging. e. Transfer of charges to the ground - ii. Earthing Transfer of static charge to the ground are called earthing. Earthing is done to protect the building from the accumulated charge.
