	In an '''insulator''', electrons are bounded tightly to atoms, which prevents charged particles from moving through the material. If charge is transferred to an insulator at a given location, the charge will remain at the location that the transfer occurred. Examples of insulators include rubber and air.

			*'''The Carpet Shock'''<br>
			: The age old trick where you rub your feet along a carpet and then get shocked by a door knob involves charge transfer. When you rub your feet along the carpet, your feet pick up a slightly negative charge. When your hand then moves to the door knob, which is usually metal and therefore a conductor, the electrons want to spread evenly through your body and the door knob, creating a slight shock when the charge transfers.

	~~(should be completed~~ by ~~a student)~~		The first evidence of charge transfer was discovered by '''Sir William Watson''' in 1746 while working with the Leyden jar. He later discovered that '''Benjamin Franklin''' had produced similar results in his own experiments, and the two began working closely together. Though the two men were the first to propose the principle, it was not until 1843 that '''Michael Faraday''' provided what was considered conclusive proof of this phenomenon.
