Electric Charge/Field pt .2

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily, such as metals like copper and aluminum.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that cannot move electrical charges, preventing the flow of electricity, such as rubber and glass.

Front

What are the best conductors of electricity?

Back

The best conductors of electricity are metals, particularly copper, silver, and aluminum.

Front

What particles balance the charge of an atom?

Back

Protons and electrons balance the charge of an atom.

Front

What particles make up the nucleus of an atom?

Back

The nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of objects, often caused by friction.

Front

What is electric charge?

Back

Electric charge is a property of subatomic particles that causes them to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.

Front

What is the difference between positive and negative charges?

Back

Positive charges repel other positive charges and attract negative charges, while negative charges repel other negative charges and attract positive charges.

Front

What is an electric field?

Back

An electric field is a region around a charged object where other charged objects experience a force.

Front

What is the unit of electric charge?

Back

The unit of electric charge is the coulomb (C).
