conservation of charge hte principle that net electric charge is neither created nor destroyed byt can be transferred
coulombs law the relationship with electrical force, charge, distance: the force between two charges varies as the product of the charges and inversly as the squareof the distance between them

insulator a material that is a poor conductor of heat
semiconductor materical that behaves like a conductor and insulator.
induced term applied to electric charge that has been redistributed on an object because the charge nearby.
