State the Law of Conservation of Charge and give an example of a system to whichthe law could apply

The Law of Conservation of Charge states that the total charge within an isolated system will always remain constant, regardless of the specific processes occurring within that system. This law is a fundamental principle of physics and is based on the observed behavior of electric charge in countless experiments.

For example, consider a system consisting of a balloon and a wool sweater. When you rub a balloon against a wool sweater, electrons (which carry a negative charge) are transferred from the sweater to the balloon. This causes the balloon to become negatively charged and the sweater to become positively charged. However, the total charge of the system (balloon + sweater) remains constant because the amount of negative charge gained by the balloon is exactly equal to the amount of positive charge gained by the sweater. This is an example of the Law of Conservation of Charge in action.
