The Big Picture
It's too static in here
Charge it up by Contact
To Conduct or Insulate
Charge it up by Induction
100
Results from an imbalance of electric charge on the surface of an object
What is static electricity
100
Can be positive or negative.
What is electrical charge
100
Rubbing may be involved in this method of charging
What is charging by friction
100
A material that allows the movement of electrons through it
What is a conductor
100
The method of charging that results from a induced charge separation of electrons
What is charging by induction
200
Objects become charged when electrons transfer between two objects rubbing against each other
What is charging by friction or contact
200
When an object has a balance of electrical charge and does not exert any electrical forces the object can be described as
What is a neutral object
200
Their collisions with charged objects explains why charged objects can't hold their charge for long periods in the summer
What are water molecules
200
A material that acts as the opposite of a conductor
What is an insulator
200
A type of charging by induction that always leaves the object neutral
What is temporarily charging by induction
300
Neutral objects become charged when their electrons shift their positions by this type of charging
What is charging by induction
300
states that like charges repel and opposite charges attract
What is law of electric force
300
A list of objects arranged in order of their tendency to gain electrons
What is the electrostatic series
300
a methods of charging that uses conductors
What is charging by conduction
300
a type of charging by induction that involves grounding
What is permanently charging by induction
400
Materials can be electrically grouped into one of these categories
What is conductors or insulators
400
Occurs in neutral objects when they are in the presence of a charged object
What is an induced charge seperation
400
Allows charged objects to become neutral by allowing electrons to move in or out of the object as needed
What is grounding
400
A material that is not quite a conductor, but better at allowing electrons to move through it than an insulator
What is a semiconductor
400
Charging by induction results in an electric forces that is always
What is attractive
500
Is defined as the sudden movement of electrons from a negatively charged object to a less negatively charged object
What is electrical discharge
500
Is a real life application of use static electricity to conserve the amount of paint used in the manufacturing industry
What is electrostatic painting systems
500
A device used to clean the waste exhaust in smoke stacks
What is an electrostatic precipitator
500
A special type of material that allows the flow of electrons with no resistance.
