Electrification: Understanding the Phenomenon

What is Electrification?

• Electrification is defined as the phenomenon where a body acquires electric charge by gaining or losing electrons.

• There are three methods to electrify a body: friction, induction, and contact, which involve gaining, losing, or rearranging electric charges.

• The number of electrons lost by one body equals the number gained by another during these processes.

Methods of Electrification

Friction

• Friction involves rubbing two neutral bodies together; one transfers electrons to the other due to frictional force.

• The body that accepts electrons becomes negatively charged, while the one that loses electrons becomes positively charged.

Contact

• Contact electrification occurs when an electrified body touches a neutral body; electrons transfer from the charged object to the neutral one.

• Both bodies become electrified after this interaction.
