It is known that every atom consists of electron(s), proton(s), and neutron(s). The electron has negative charge, proton has positive charge and neutron has no charge. In an atom, the total number of electrons is always equal to the total number of protons. The atom is neutral only when the magnitude of total charge of electron(s) is equal to that of proton(s). Therefore, if an atom loses electron(s), it is positively charged. Similarly, reverse case occurs when an atom loses proton(s). The unit of charge is coulomb (C). | |

Amber, glass, ebonite,
sulphur etc. on being rubbed attract light
bodies. This property in materials is developed
due to electrification by friction. On
acquiring this property the material is said to
be electrified and this property is called Electricity.
On being electrified material acquires charges. Electrified material is called charged material. Charges are of two types. 1. Positive charges 2. Negative charges | |

The charge on an electron is so small that it is not convenient to select it as the unit of charge. In practice, coulomb is used as the unit of charge i.e. SI unit of charge is coulomb abbreviated as C. One coulomb of charge is equal to the charge on 625 X 1016 electrons. | |
