Attract
100
Socks rubbing on carpet, then touching your sibling and shocking them...Is what kind of charge transfer?
Friction
100
A material that stops electric shocks (insulates) and is often worn as gloves by electricians.
Rubber
200
The term for an object with equal amounts of positive and negative charge.
Neutral
200
What like charges do.
Repel
200
The transfer of electric charge by touching two objects together.
Conduction
200
____ allow e- to flow easily; readily conduct electric charge.
Conductors
300
area surrounding charged particles/ objects within which a force can be exerted on other charged particles/objects. Allows charges to act at a distance.
Electric Field
300
One factor that affects electric force strength besides charge amount.
distance
300
Charging an object without touching it, like a balloon near metal cans. Is whay type of charge transfer?
Induction
300
A metal used in wiring and plumbing that conducts electricity well.
Copper
400
What happens to electric force when distance between charged objects increases.
distance
400
What happens to electric force when distance between charged objects increases.
electric force decreases
400
Lightning is an example of ____ _____
Static Discharge
Explanation:
the sudden flow of electric charge between two charged objects,
400
Materials like air, glass, or wood that don’t let electricity move through them easily.
Insulators
500
The principle stating that electric charge cannot be created or destroyed, only moved from one object to another.
Law of Conservation of Charge
500
Two balloons are rubbed on your hair so they both become negatively charged. When you bring them close together, they push away from each other. Explain why this happens and whether the force is attractive or repulsive.
The balloons repel each other because they have the same type of charge, creating a repulsive force.

In the US we use a three pin plug. What kind of pin enters the red labeled hole of the outlet.
Earth pin/ Ground pin that eventually connects to the ground rod

Imagine you touch a metal doorknob after walking across a carpet in socks and feel a small shock. Why did the shock happen, and what type of material is the doorknob?
The doorknob is a conductor, and the shock happened because the electrons you built up on your body flowed through the metal.
