Today we learnt about some new topics Conservation of Charge was one of them. This states that the total charge in a system remains the same, and charge cannot be created or destroyed. Charges in a system can be transferred around to different objects. This stuff is basically taken straight from the conservation of energy idea. Apparently the amount of the charge must be a multiple of the elementary charge. As shown by the equation below.
Q = ne
Q= the charge on the object
N= the number of elementary charges
E= the elementary charge
You can charge an object through induction. You induce a charge separation, then ground one region of the charge. This was demonstrated to us through the electroscope.

We also learnt about coulombs law. The electrostatic force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. Sounds like gravity. This is all represented in the formula below.
