Electrostatics
This concept underlies ALL electric phenomena
What is like charges repel and opposite charges attract?
This Italian physicist is who a volt is named after?
Who is Allesandro Volta?
Electric current is measured in this unit named for a Frenchman.
What is an ampere (amp)?
Resistance is measured in this.
What are Ohms?
This force field surrounds an electric charge or group of charges.
What is an electric field?
These are the two signs we use to denote positive and negative charges?
What are the plus and minus signs?
If a charged particle is moved in an electric field, then the particle will now have this due to its position.
What is electrical potential energy?
An ampere (amp) is this.
What is the flow of 1 coulomb of charge per second?
The unit for Ohm is represented by this Greek symbol.
What is
Omega
The strength or magnitude of an electric field is measured by this.
What is the effect on charges located in an electric field?
This subatomic particle has a negative charge.
What is an electron?
It is defined as electrical potential energy per charge.
What is a volt?
Electric current (amps) is what does damage to a human during this possibly fatal event.
What is electrocution?
Ohm's Law states this.
What is the current in a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage of the circuit and indirectly proportional to the resistance in the circuit.
Electric field lines point this direction when examining a positive charge.
What is pointing away or outward?
This is the source of electron in a circuit or any thing conducive to electricity.
What is the conducting material it's made out of?
A proton has this charge.
What is positive?
A volt is equal to this.
What is a joule per coulomb?
If voltage across a circuit increases while the resistance if the circuit stays the same, then current does this.
What is increase?
Voltage is the product of these two things.
What is current and resistance?
Electric field lines point this direction when examining a negative charge.
What is inward or toward?
If an object such as the Van de Graff generator builds up a static charge, it is this kind of charge.
What is a negative charge?
Electrical energy can be stored in this common device that has two metal plates.
What is a capacitor?
What is lowers your resistance?
A larger resistor will do this to current flow for a given voltage across a circuit.
What is decrease the current?
The electric field lines run this direction between two oppositely charged capacitor plates.
What is from the positive plate to the negative plate?
