ELECTRIC CHARGE Flashcards
electric come from the Greek word of amber which is ——–
elektron
it is one of the basic forms of energy
electricity
it can be generated in many ways and is associated with charges electrons and protons
electricity
it is the electric discharge between a clound and the ground
Lightning
2 types of charges
static charge
moving charge
these are charges in which they stay in one place and can be produced by conduction and induction of charges via a charging body
Static
it is the flow of electric charges from one point to another
moving
it is like the current flowing through a wire
moving
2 types of charging processes
conduction
induction
it is charging with contact and where electrons move directly from one body to another
Conduction
it is charging without contact and is where electrons move to or from the ground
Induction
3 charging processes
positively charged
negatively charged
neutral
it when there is an excess of positive charges
positively charged
it is when there is an excess of negative charges
Negatively charged
it is when there is an equal number of positive and negative charges
Neutral
what type of charging process is it when a charging body (+) physically touches the neutral body
Charging by Conduction
