Term
Laws of electrostatics
Definition
1. Repulsion-attraction
2. The magnitude of the charge of 2 objects is directly proportional to the force between them
3. Inverse-Square Law - As you increase the distance between 2 charged objects, the electrostatic force between them will be less
4. Distribution - Negative charges are going to reside on the surface of conductors
5. Concentration - negative charges reside at the greatest curvature
6. Movement - only negative charges will move
Term
3 Methods of Electrification
Definition
1. Friction
2. Contact
3. Induction
Term
Friction
Definition
Electrification that occurs when one object is rubbed against another and, due to difference in the number of electrons available on each, electrons travel from one to the other.

Laws of Magnetism
Definition
1. Repulsion/Attraction - like poles repel and opposite poles attract

Magnetic Classification
Definition
1. Ferromagnetic - Materials that are highly permeable and susceptible to magnetic induction (ex: iron, cobalt & nickel)

2. Paramagnetic - Materials that have a low permeability and weak attraction to magnetic fields (ex: aluminum)

3. Diamagnatic - Materials weakly repelled by all magnetic fields (ex: beryllium, bismuth, lead)

4. Nonmagnetic - Materials not affected by magnetic fields and that cannot be magnetized (ex: wood, glass, rubber, plastics)
Term
Permeability
