Conservation Of Charge
Conservation of Charge is the property by virtue of which total charge of an isolated system always remains constant.
Within an isolated system consisting of many charged bodies, charges may get redistributed due to interactions among the bodies, but the total charge of the system shall remain the same.
For example when we rub two bodies, what one body gains in charge, the other body loses the same charge. Thus, it is not possible to create or destroy net charge carried by any isolated system. However, charge carrying particles may be created or destroyed in a process. For example, a neutron turns into a proton and an electron. The proton and electron thus created have equal and opposite charges. The totat charge is zero before and after the creation. Thus, charges can be created or destroyed in equal and unlike pairs only.
