Atoms
The positve part of an atom
Proton
Opposite charges
attract
Material that allows electric energy flow
conductors
The force between charged particles or objects
Electric Force
the movement of charge by direct contact between objects
Conduction
The negative part of an atom
Electron
Like charges
repel
Materals that don't allow electric charges to flow
insulators
Continuous flow of charge
electric current
Two objects rub against each other and electrons move from one object to the other.
Friction

What parts are located inside of an atom
Protons and Neutrons
Electric Fields are represented visually by what?
lines
The difference in electric potential energy per charge
voltage
Buildup of charge on an object
static electricity
Electrons only move to the opposite side of their atoms rather than ot the opposite side of the entire object
Polarization
Where are electrons located
Outside of an atom
An electric Field is strongest where?
between opposite charges
Why do charges flow through a circuit?
differences in potential energy
A basic property of matter that creates a force and accounts for electric interactions.
Charge
The electric field of one charged object repels the electrons of the other object
Induction
