Electric charge 
 Things that are negatively charged and things that are positively charged pull on (attract) each other.
Electric charge 
 Things that have more electrons than protons are negatively charged, while things with fewer electrons than protons are positively charged.
Electric charge 
 If possible, the one with too many electrons will give enough electrons to match the number of protons in the one that has too many protons for its load of electrons.
Electric charge 
 If there are just enough electrons to match the extra protons, then the two things will not attract each other anymore.
Electric charge 
 When electrons move from a place where there are too many to a place where there are too few, that is called an electrical current.
Electric charge 
 When a person shuffles their feet on a carpet and then touches a brass doorknob, they may get an electrical shock.
Electric charge 
 If there are enough extra electrons then the force with which those electrons push each other away may be enough to make some of the electrons jump across a gap between the person and the doorknob.
Electric charge 
 The number of electrons that move from one place to another per unit of time measured as amperage or "rate of electron flow."
Electric charge 
 If a person gets a positive or negative charge, it may make the person's hairs stand up because the charges in each hair push it away from the others.
Electric charge 
 Electric charge felt when one gets a shock from a doorknob or other object usually is between 25 thousand and 30 thousand volts.
Electric charge 
 However, the electric current only flows briefly, so the flow of electrons through the person's body does not cause physical harm.
Electric charge 
 On the other hand, when clouds gain electrical charges they have even higher voltages and the amperage (the number of electrons that will flow in the lightning strike) can be very high.
Electric charge 
 The following experiment is described by James Clerk Maxwell in his work A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873).
