ELECTRICAL
CHARGES

Protons, neutrons and
electrons are very
different from each
other. They have their
own properties, or
characteristics. One of
these properties is
called an electrical
Protons have what we call a
"positive" (+) charge.
Electrons have a "negative"
(-) charge. Neutrons have
no charge, they are neutral.
The charge of one proton is
equal in strength to the
charge of one electron. When
the number of protons in an
atom equals the number of
ELECTRONS
CAN MOVE


 The protons and
 neutrons in the nucleus
 are held together very
 tightly. Normally the
 nucleus does not
 change. But some of
 the outer electrons are
They can move from one
atom to another. An atom
that loses electrons has
more positive charges
(protons) than negative
charges (electrons). It is
positively charged. An atom
that gains electrons has
more negative than positive
Some materials hold their
electrons very tightly.
Electrons do not move
through them very well.
These things are called
insulators. Plastic, cloth,
glass and dry air are good
insulators. Other materials
have some loosely held
How can we move electrons
from one place to another?
One very common way is to
rub two objects together. If
they are made of different
materials, and are both
insulators, electrons may be
transferred (or moved) from
The more rubbing, the
more electrons move, and
the larger the static
charge that builds up.
(Scientists believe that it
is not the rubbing or
friction that causes
electrons to move. It is
