ELECTRIC
EFFECTS results from an imbalance of electric charge .There
are two types of electric charge , named positive(carried by
protons) and negative (carried by electrons).If charges are
opposites (unlike), they attract one another, while like charge
repel.Forces of attraction and repulsion (electrostatic forces)
exist between any two charged particles .Matter is normally
uncharged , but if electrons are gained , an object will gain
an overall negative charge ;if they are removed , it becomes
positive .Objects with an overall negative or positive charges
are said to have an imbalance of charge, and exert the same
forces as individual negative and positive charge .On this
larger scale,the forces will always act to regain the balance
of charge. This causes static electricity .Lightning ,for
example , is produced by clouds discharging a huge excess of
negative electrons .If charges are " free "-in a wire or material
that allows electrons to pass through it - the forces causes
a flow of charge called an electric current
MAGNETISM.
Some substances exhibit the strange phenomenon of magnetism -which also produced attractive and repulsive forces. Magnetic substances consists of small regions called domains.Normally unmagnetized ,they can be magnetized by being placed in a magnetic field .Magnetism and electricity are inextricably linked , a fact put to use in motors and generators.
