Electrostatic & Electrodynamics Flashcards
study of stationary electric charges
electrostatic
two types of electric charge
cations and anions
positively charge ions results from the loss of electrons
cations
negatively charge ions results from the gain of electrons
anions
it is the process of adding or removing electrons from an object
electrification
three types of electrification
contact, friction and induction
in three types of electrification, it is a connection that causes the flow electrons
contact
in three types of electrification, it is a buildup of electron caused by rubbing of object together
friction
in three types of electrification, using the electric field of a charged object to confer a charge on an uncharged object
induction
it is the build up of electric charges
static electricity
it is called when an object that has too few or too many electrons
electrified
4 Laws under Electricity
electrostatic law
coulumb’s law
electric charge distribution
electrified charge concentration
unlike charges attract ; like charges repel
electrostatic law
it is when electrostatic force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
coulumb’s ;aw
it is when an object become electrified, the electrical charges are distributed throughout the object such as thunder cloud
electric charge distribution
