Charging by Friction
As it is explained, that all of
the objects are made of different types of atoms and combination of different
atoms. The presence of atoms give objects electrical behavior one of thee
properties known as electron affinity, this behavior is referring to the amount
of attraction force of one electron for one another, which is one of the
process of charging, that is charging my friction or well known as rubbing.

For example of the charging by
friction, balloon that is rubbed with our hair, the electrons that are stable
in the balloon will be attracted to the ones in our hair, or it can be opposite
that the electrons from our hair is attracted to the ones in the balloon, since
either of the objects has lose or gain electrons, they will be more attracted
to each other because the one that loses electrons, will become positive charge
and the one who gained electrons will be negative charged. For example if we
put then close to each other, the balloon will move and will be closer to our
hair or the hair will go up to touch the balloon.

Frictional charging is a process
that transfers electrons to the other object by rubbing them together, if one
of the objects has greater attraction force, then the object will take the
electrons of the weaker force. For the object that gains electrons will have
excess of electrons and become negative charged because the number of electrons
is too much and the one that loses becomes positive since the amount of proton
is greater.
