Charged Objects
This is the charge of an object with an equal number of electrons and protons.
What is neutral?
This is what happens when two objects with the same electric charge enter each others' electric fields.
What is repel?
Arrows in an electric field point towards these types of objects.
What are negatively charged objects?
This is the term for the movement of electric charges. Often, it flows through wires and other conductors.
What is electric current?
These particles are part of atoms. They are the negatively charged particles that exist outside of the nucleus.
What are electrons?
This is the charge of an object with more electrons than protons.
What is negative?
This is what happens when two objects with different electric charges enter each others' electric fields.
What is attract?
Arrows in an electric field point away from these types of objects.
What are positively charged objects?
This is the part of a battery that repels electrons and pushes them through a circuit.
What is the negative terminal?
This college basketball tournament takes place during March and April each year.
What is March Madness?
This is the charge of an object with more protons than electrons.
What is positive?
These are the two factors that impact the strength of electrical force.
What are distance and strength of charge?
In the first round of March Madness this year, the UCONN women beat this team.
This is the part of a battery that attracts electrons and pulls them through a circuit.
What is the positive terminal?
This term means opposition to the flow of electric current.
What is resistance?
Electric charges always move towards this state, which describes a balance. Sometimes, it means static electricity might jump from one object to another.
What is equilibrium?
When this increases, electrical force increases.
What is strength of electric charge?
An electric field is a type of this.
What is a force field?
This is the number of championships the UConn Womens' basketball team has won.
What is 11?
This type of material, for example wood, plastic, and rubber, holds onto its electrons strongly and does not allow current to flow through it easily.
What is an insulator?
This UConn women's basketball senior was named one of 10 semifinalists for the 2025 Jersey Mike's Naismith Trophy Women's Player of the Year Award.
Who is Paige Bueckers?
When this increases, electrical charge decreases.
What is distance?
This is what the arrows in an electric field represent (be sure to include what the test object is).
What is a prediction of force on a positively charged test object?
This type of material, often metals, does not hold onto its electrons strongly and allows current to flow through it.
What is a conductor?
This type of material, sometimes allows current to flow through it. Computer parts are often made of this type of material.
What is a semiconductor?
