Electrostatics

neutron

• A positively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom.

• 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 negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom.

• A particle that has no mass and is found outside the nucleus.

electric charge

• A property that causes matter to experience a force in an electromagnetic field.

• A type of energy that can be created or destroyed.

• A measure of the temperature of an object.

• A form of kinetic energy related to motion.

conduction

• The process by which heat or electricity is transmitted through a substance without any movement of the material.

• The process of heat transfer through the movement of fluids.

• The transfer of heat through radiation without any medium.

• The process of generating electricity through chemical reactions.

static electricity

• A type of electric charge that moves freely through conductors.

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

• An electric charge that is always in motion and generates a magnetic field.

• A phenomenon that occurs only in wet conditions and does not produce any visible effects.

Coulomb's Law

• 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.

• A principle that describes the magnetic force between two magnets based on their distance and strength.

• A theorem that states the energy of a system is conserved in the absence of external forces.

• A rule that explains the behavior of gases under varying pressure and temperature conditions.

electric potential

• The energy required to move a unit positive charge in an electric field.

• The amount of work needed to move a unit positive charge from a reference point to a specific point inside the field without producing any acceleration.

• The force experienced by a unit positive charge in an electric field.

• The potential energy per unit charge at a point in an electric field.

electric force

• The interaction between two neutral objects.

• The attractive or repulsive interaction between any two charged objects.

• The force exerted by a magnet on a metal object.

• The gravitational pull between two masses.

Universal Gravitation Law

• 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.

• A principle that states that gravity is a force that only affects large objects like planets and stars.

• An equation that describes the motion of objects in a vacuum without any gravitational influence.

• A theory that suggests gravity is a result of the curvature of space-time around massive objects.

proton

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

• A negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom.

• A neutral particle found in the nucleus of an atom.

• A particle that is responsible for the chemical properties of an element.

gravitational force

• The force of attraction between all masses in the universe, especially the attraction of the earth's mass for bodies near its surface.

• A force that repels objects away from each other due to their mass.

• The force that causes objects to move in a circular path around a center point.

• A type of force that only acts on objects in motion.
