electrostatics
These are inside the nucleus of an atom?
a material that prevents or blocks the flow of electric charges
insulator
unit for electric charge
coulumb
when electrons in a neutral object move because of the electric field of a nearby charged object
polarization
the process of removing excess charge or neutralizing something.
grounding
can be positive, zero, or negative. determined by number of electrons gained or lost.
electric charge
when a charged object is brought near to a neutral
conducting object and forces electrons
within the conductor to move
induction
the positive particle in an atom
proton
a material that electric charges can flow through
easily
conductor
the negative particle in an atom
electron
what happens when a positively charged object comes close to a negatively charged object
attraction
when there is direct contact between materials that differ in their ability to give up or accept
electrons.
conduction
law that describes two objects total net charge before and after a reaction
conservation of change
what happens when a negatively charged object comes close to another negatively charged object
repulsion
when electrons transfer between two objects that are rubbed together.
friction
the force between two objects as they get closer together will..
increase
the force between two objects as they get further apart will...
decrease
we use this list to determine if things are going to be positive or negative.
triboelectric series
the only elementary particle that moves from object to object...
electron
True/False - Neutral objects can be attracted to charged objects.
