| Static charge (definition) |
|
Definition
| Electrical charge that is collected in one place; often encountered in everyday life when objects rub against each other and transfer electrons |
|
|
Term
| Negatively charged objects |
|
Definition
| Objects that have gained electrons |
|
|
Term
| Positively charged objects |
|
Definition
| Objects that have lost electrons |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Contain equal number of positive and negative charges |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When objects are rub against each other; electrons are transferred |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Material that does not allow to move easily; good at keeping static charge
ex: wool, glass, rubber |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Material that allow electrons to travel freely;
ex: any sort of metal |
|

Term
|
Definition
| Uses friction to produce large amount of static charge; rapidly moving belt moves over rollers and contact between the two results in a transfer of charge; the charge result depends on the what material you put on the dome |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Can be useful; ex: used to clean air, paint automobiles, and hold objects with electrostatic attractions
Can be dangerous; ex: when it builds of and discharges can cause serious shocks, explosions, or fires |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Connected to the earth; the static charge becomes discharged because the earth is so large that it can accept charges without being charged itself; lightning rods that attract lightning, carries the electric charge safely to the ground |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A push or pull between charged objects |
|
|
Term
| Action-at-a-distance force |
|
Definition
| Forces that can have an effect on an object |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Push or pull exerted on an object |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-Like charges repel
-Opposite charges attract
-Neutral objects are attracted to charged |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Charging through direct contact; extra electrons will move to a location where there is less of them |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Bringing a charged object nearby a neutral object will cause charge movement and separation in the neutral object |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A type of plastic that is always the one who becomes negatively charged |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Forces that can have an effect only on objects they touched |
|
|
Term
| How to increase/decrease amount electrical force |
|
Definition
| You can increase it by putting the two charged objects closer together, or increasing that amount charge. If you want to decease just bring the two charged object further apart or decrease the amount of charge |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Negatively charged particles in an atom that can move |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Positively charged particles in the nucleus of an atom that does not move |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A device that is used to detect static charge; indicates the presence of a static charge by the superlative of the metal leaves |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A scale of things that from things that lose the most electrons to the things that gain the most electrons |
