Electrically Charged Objects Mo9-L1a: What are Electrically Charged
Objects?
Lesson 1

electric discharge
the process of an unbalanced electric charge
becoming balanced.
In this topic, you will learn the following
lessons:
Mo.9–L1a: What are Electrically Charged
Objects?

What are Electrically Charged Body A is positively charged and
Mo9–L1a
Objects? Body B is a neutral conductor
KEY CONCEPTS:
1. How do electrically charged objects differ?
2. How do objects become electrically charged?
3. How do electrically charged objects interact?

Bodies A and B on contact
Vocabulary A-Z

Let us learn some vocabulary

electrically neutral
a particle with equal amounts of positive charge Body A tends to be negatively charged after
and negative charge. separation an Body B tends to be positively
charged after separation.

electric insulator
A material in which electric charges cannot easily
move.

electrically charged

the condition of having an unbalanced amount of
positive charge or negative charge.

Electric conductor

A material in which electric charges easily move.
