Electrostatics

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, it has no electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton.

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, it has a positive electric charge.

A subatomic particle with a negative electric charge, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids.

A physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. There are two types of electric charges: positive and negative.

The attractive or repulsive interaction between any two charged objects.

A stationary electric charge, typically produced by friction, that causes sparks or crackling or the attraction of dust or hair.

A law stating that the electrostatic force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Newton's law stating that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

The process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.

The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another, often resulting in the generation of heat or static electricity.
