Review on chapter 1 static electricity

what does electrostatics mean?

• THE AMOUNT OF NEGATIVE CHARGE EXACTLY BALANCES THE AMOUNT OF POSITIVE CHARGE

• THE STUDY OF ELECTRIC CHARGES THAT CAN BE COLLECTED AND HELD IN ONE PLACE.

what does neutral mean?

• the amount of charge exactly balances the amount of positive charge .

• the study of electric charge that can be collected and held in one place

what does insulator mean?

• A material that allows charges to move about easily

• A material through which a charge will not move easily .

what does conductor mean?

• the study of electric charge that can be collected and held in one place

• A material that allows charges to move about easily

what does electroscope mean?

• the study of electric charge that can be collected and held in one place

• consists of a metal knob connected by a metal stem to two thin, lightweight pieces of metal foil.

what does charging by conduction mean ?

• the study of electric charge that can be collected and held in one place

• charging a neutral object by touching that object with a charged object .

what does charging by induction mean

• a neutral by bringing a charged object near it .

• charging a neutral object by touching that object with a charged object

what does grounding mean?

• which is the process of removing excess charge by connecting an object to earth.

• states that the electrical force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of the quantity of charge on the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two objects.

what does Coulomb's law mean

• the SI standard unit of charge

• Coulomb's law states that the electrical force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of the quantity of charge on the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two objects.

what does coulomb's mean?

• the magnitude of the charge of a single electron of proton

• the SI standard unit of charge .
