Electrostatics Flashcards
1
Q
Positively chargered
A
Electrons are removed making the object electron deficient
2
Q
Negatively charged
A
Electrons are added giving the object an excess of electrons
3
Q
Electronstatic force
A
The force exerted by static, charges an each other
4
Q
Electrostatic force convention
A
The electrostatic force between like charges is repulsive, opposite (unlike) charges is attractive.
5
Q
The principle of conservation of charge
A
The net charge of an isolated system remains constant during any physical process.
6
Q
Elementary charge
A
The amount of charge carried by one electron.
