 * __Static Charge__** Static charge happens when electrons are added or taken away from the atom. The electrons closer to the center of the atom are held tighter and the outer electrons are looser. It is different in all materials. For example, electons are held tighter in rubber and plastic than your hair. Once there are unequal amounts of electrons and protons it is charged. More electrons make a negative charge and more protons make a positive charge.======

=

 * __Coulombs Law__** Coulombs Law states that for every two charged objects or particles that are smaller than the distance between them, the force between them changes directly as the product of their charges and inversely as the square of the separation distance. F=k q1q2/d^2======

=

 * __Electric Fields__** Electric forces are like gravitational forces. For electric and gravity there is a force field that effects charges and masses around it. The electric field extends radially away from the proton center. When a charged particle is in the field it goes through an electric force. The force pushes positive charges in the same direction as the field.======
