POSITIVE VIBES ONLY
This describes the charge of an atom that has equal protons and electrons
Neutral
The buildup of charges on an object / charges that don't move
What is Static Electricity
Complete the sentence:
The longer the distance between the charges,
the _________ the force experienced.
weaker
It involves the flow or movement of charges
What is current electricity?
Why is the metal sphere on an insulating stand for the purpose of charging by induction
So that electrons don't flow to earth and sphere remains charged
This describes the charge of an atom that loses electrons
These are the charges that can be transferred from one atom to another
What are electrons?
An example of how static electricity can be useful
What is your answer?
True or False? Atoms can gain and lose protons
FALSE!!
The transfer of a large number of electrons from the cloud to the ground
What is lightning
This describes the charge of an atom that gains electrons
What is negative?
This occurs when you bring a negative sphere next to a negative sphere
What is Repulsion?
This is the type of energy friction/rubbing objects generates
What is heat energy?
The three methods of charging objects
What are Friction, Induction and Contact?
Charged objects attract what kind of objects
What are Neutral objects or charged objects?
This occurs when you bring a positive sphere next to a positive sphere
Repulsion
Electrical charges can flow through them
What are conductors?
An example of how static electricity can be dangerous
What is your answer?
True or False? A negatively charged object exerts a force when brought near a neutral object
TRUE!!!
Explain Spray Painting
Your answer
