static electricity | a stationary charge built up on insulating material |
conservation of charge | the principle that the total electric charge of a system is constant |
friction | surface resistance to relative motion |
conduction | transmission through a conductor |
induction | the process by which a body having electric or magnetic properties produces magnetism, an electric charge, or an electromotive force in a neighboring body without contact |
