Chapter 6 Review - Charge, Insulators, Conductors Flashcards
An electrically charged atom can be distinguished from an electrically neutral at in that the charged atom…
has an imbalance of protons and electrons.
one charged object and a neutral object
one is attracting
An electrically neutral atom is an atom which…
Has a balance of protons and electrons (same number of each) .
when 2 objects made of different materials are rubbed together, they each acquire a charge.
True
when 2 objects made of different materials are rubbed together, they will either be both charged positively or both charged negatively.
False
When 2 objects made of different materials are rubbed together, they will attract each other after the charging process.
True
When 2 objects made of different materials are rubbed together, one object gains elections and the other object gains protons.
False
When 2 objects made of different materials are rubbed together, the total amount of charge among the 2 objects remains uncharged.
True
Materials through which electrons can move readily are classified as
Conductors
Insulators are different than conductors in that insulators
do not allow charge to freely move
Conductors cannot be charged by frictional rubbing
True
