electric stuff
The smallest unit of matter
Atom
has the ability to cause change
energy
an object that attracts iron and other material that have iron like qualities
magnet
a push or pull applied by a magnetic field
magnetic force
the force applied by magnets that either attract or repel
magnetism
invisible field around any charged object where an electric force is applied
electric field
a material in which electrons easily move
electric conductor
the transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles of matter
conduction
a particle with equal amounts of positive and negative charge
electrically neutral
a material in which electrons can not move easily
electric insulator
object has an unbalanced amount of positive or negative charge
electrically charged
the loss of an unbalanced electric charge
electric discharge
what atoms are made up of
Protons, neutrons, electrons
metals such as copper or aluminum
conductors
the force that 2 electrically charged objects apply to each other
electric force
two objects with the same charge will do this
repel
objects with opposite charges will
attract
object with more protons has a
positive charge
object with more electrons has a
negative charge
when objects of different materials touch electrons tend to collect on the object that holds them tighter this is called
transferring by contact
causes light bulbs to glow
continual electric discharge
flow of electrons from a higher concentration to a lower concentration
transfer by conduction
coach C's favorite animal is
Blue whale
push or pull on an object
force
what 2 ways can charges be transferred
contact and conduction
