100
The study of electric charges that can be collected and held in one place.
What is electrostatics
100
The two kinds of electric charges.
What are positive and negative
100
Each of the lines used to represent the actual field in the space around a charge.
What is an electric field line.
100
The work done moving a positive test charge between two points in an electric field divided by the magnitude of the test charge.
What is the electric potential difference
200
This type of charge attracts.
What are opposite charges
200
Charging a neutral body by touching it with a charged body.
What is charging by conduction
200
This exists around any charged object and produces forces on other objects.
What is an electric field
200
The ratio of charge stored to electric potential difference.
What is capacitance
300
A material through which a charge will not move easily.
What is an insulator
300
Charging an object without touching it.
What is charging by induction
300
The density of electric field lines are related to this.
What is the strength of the field
300
The amount of potential energy per unit of charge.
What is electric potential
400
A material that allows charges to move about easily.
What is a conductor
400
The process of connecting a body to Earth to eliminate excess charge.
What is grounding
400
These are directed away from positive charges and toward negative charges.
What are electric field lines
400
Has a dependency upon the charge of the object experiencing the electric field.
What is electric potential energy
500
When the positive charge of the nucleus equals the negative charge of the surrounding electrons.
What is a neutral atom
500
The SI standard unit of charge.
What is the coulomb
500
The unit for electric field strength.
What is newtons per coulomb
500
When work is done, this happens to the potential energy.
