STATIC ELECTRICITY (partial)

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows the flow of electric charge, typically electrons. Examples include metals like copper and aluminum.

Front

Which material is an example of a conductor?

Back

Copper is an example of a conductor.

Front

What happens when an object loses electrons?

Back

When an object loses electrons, it becomes positively charged.

Front

What happens when an object gains electrons?

Back

When an object gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the accumulation of electric charge on the surface of objects, which can result in an electric discharge.

Front

What is the principle of conduction in static electricity?

Back

Conduction is the process where electric charge is transferred between objects through direct contact.

Front

What is the principle of induction in static electricity?

Back

Induction is the process of charging an object without direct contact, typically by influencing the charge distribution in another object.

Front

What is friction in the context of static electricity?

Back

Friction is the process that can cause the transfer of electrons between two objects, leading to static charge.

Front

What is the role of electrons in static electricity?

Back

Electrons are negatively charged particles that can be transferred between objects, causing them to become charged.

Front

What is the difference between positive and negative charge?

Back

Positive charge occurs when an object has lost electrons, while negative charge occurs when an object has gained electrons.
