Answer:
The law of conservation of charge states that the electric charge can neither be created nor destroyed. In a closed system, the amount of charge remains the same. When something changes its charge, it does not create charge but transfers it.
For example,
1) Due to friction opposite charges appear on two bodies that are rubbing against each other bu the net charge is still zero.
2) During radioactive decay, a proton decays into a positron and a neutron, again no net charge production.
