What are the 3 ways charges can be transferred?
Three ways electrons can be transferred are conduction, friction, and polarization. In each case, the total charge remains the same. This is the law of conservation of charge.
How do I make charges move?
To push a charged particle closer to another particle with the same charge takes a certain amount of energy. To push two particles into the same position near that particle takes twice as much energy, and the two particles together have twice as much electric potential energy as the single particle.
What causes electric charges to move?
The movement or flow of charged particles is what produces electricity and magnetism. In fact, a moving stream of electric charge is electric current. This movement of charge can be induced by the relative movement of a magnet and coil of wire—this is the fundamental design for electric generators.
Can a positive charge move?
If a positively charged object, like a proton, is in an electric field, it will be pushed by the field and move. On the other hand, in an atom, even though electrons and protons both experience a force toward each other, the electron moves a lot more because it is much, much lighter than the proton.

How do charges move in a conductor?
Conductors allow for charge transfer through the free movement of electrons. In contrast to conductors, insulators are materials that impede the free flow of electrons from atom to atom and molecule to molecule.
How do electric motors create movement?
An electric motor converts electrical energy into physical movement. Electric motors generate magnetic fields with electric current through a coil. The magnetic field then causes a force with a magnet that causes movement or spinning that runs the motor.
