ELECTRIFICATION Flashcards
is the process that produces electric
charges on an object
Electrification
s a charge confined to an object; the charge itself is not moving. It is also referred to as static electricity, stationary electricity in the form of an electric charge at rest
electrostatic
charge
is that objects that are similarly
charged repel each other; objects that are oppositely charged attract each
other
Basic Law of Electrostatics
are produced almost exclusively by the relative
numbers of the two primary charged particles in atoms,protons and electrons
Charges
The resulting atom or group of atoms that are electrically
charged are called
ions
The process in which a body gets
charged when it is rubbed
against other body
Charging by Friction
The process in which a body
gets charged by making
contact with a charged object.
Charging by Conduction
The process in which a body
gets charged by a charged
object without any contact
Charging by Induction
is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial
size
Grounding
is a process by
which charges in objects are
separated due to attractive or repulsive force
Polarization
Give the examples of objects that tend to attract electrons and become negative
Rubber, Polyester, Styrofoam, Saran Wrap, and PBC
Give the examples of objects that tend to give up electrons and become positive?
Glass, Nylon, Fur, Hair, Wool
