A physical property of matter that causes a material to experience a force when it is close to another matter.

States that charge is neither created nor destroyed, it can only be transferred from one system to another.

When a positive object is brought close to another positive material, the two objects will repel. When a positive object is brought close to another negative material, the two objects will attract.

The force of attraction increases with increasing distance but the force of repulsion increases with decreasing distance.

Part of atom that is positively charged

Part of an atom that has the same or equal number of positive and negative charge

Located outside the nucleus of an atom and are weakly bound. They can easily be transferred from one object to another and they are negatively charged

The atom is electrically neutral if it has an unequal number of protons and electrons.

What is the SI unit of charge, named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, a French physicist best known for establishing the relationships among force, charge, and distance.

Insulators are types of materials that allow charges to move easily through them or flow like metals

It is the transfer of charge by rubbing.

It is the transfer of a charge without physical contact.

The process of separating opposite charges within an object. The rearrangement of charges

It is the transfer of charge from a higher point to the subsurface of the Earth or ground. It is the unlimited reservoir of electrons

Known as "charging by contact” or transfer of charge through direct contact.

A device used for detecting charges.

In electroscope, the leaves will spread apart if the charge of the metal rod is the same as the charge of the electroscope. The angle is wide. Likewise, the leaves will fall slightly if the charge of the metal rod is opposite the charge of the electroscope. The angle is narrow.
