  • If two objects are rubbed into each other, electrons and protons move to each other.
  • Neutral objects become electrically charged when in contact with electrically charged objects due to the transfer of charge.
  • If the charge of an object after being rubbed is overloaded with electrons then the charge of the object is initially negative.
  • The interaction of two objects that have excess electrons will attract each other.
  • The magnitude of the electric force is inversely proportional to the distance between charge objects.
