What are the three fundamental types of particles?

Proton, neutron, and electron.

What is the exact glossary definition of Electric Insulator? (Every word must be correct for the glossary definition.)

A material in which charges cannot move freely.

After you rub a plastic ruler on your hair, it attracts small pieces of paper. What kind of charge does the ruler have?

Negative Charge

Please give us at least two examples of everyday objects that use electrical energy.

Ex: Computers, phones, dishwasher, dryer, washing machine, etc.

200

When an atom is charged positively or negatively. What is this called?

Ion

200

What is the principle that states that the total amount of charge always stays the same?

Conservation of charge.

200

How does the distance between two changes affect the force between them?

As the distance between two charges increases the force between them becomes weaker and as the distance between two charges decreases the force between them becomes stronger.

200

What affects electrical resistance in an object? Give at least three factors.

A metal’s composition, a wire's thickness, length, and temperate.

300

What is the glossary definition of Electric Charge? (Every word must be correct and included for the glossary definition.)

A fundamental property that leads to the electromagnetic interaction among particles that make up matter.

300

What is the exact glossary definition of Semiconductors? (No words should be different from the exact glossary definition.)

An element or compound that conducts electric current better than an insulator does but not as well as a conductor does.

300

How can a Neutral object stick to a charged object? Please Explain.

The charged object pulls the opposite charge in the neutral object closer so they stick together, by induction.

300

What is the glossary definition of Resistance? (Every word must be correct and included to the glossary definition.)

In physical science, the opposition is presented to the current by a material or device.
