1. electric field

1.1. region which electric charge experience a force

1.1.1. electric field line

1.1.1.1. = path which positive takes if free to move

2. principles

2.1. charging by rubbing

2.1.1. amber rod +fur

2.1.1.1. [amber<<negative charge(from fur)

2.2. charging by induction

2.2.1. production of lctric cgarge on surface of conductor under influence of an electric field

2.2.1.1. advantage

2.2.1.1.1. CAN BE REPEATED MANY TIMES WITHOUT LOSS OF CHARGE

2.2.2. EARTHING PROCESS

2.2.2.1. positive to neutral

3. hazards

3.1. electostatic hazards
