Electrostatics Flashcards
a machine that makes static electricity to create high voltages for science experiments.
Van De Graaf generator
Deals with electric charges at rest
involves electric charges, the forces between them and their behavior
Electrostatic
Objects are Electricaly Charge in one of 3 ways
Friction
Conduction
Induction
(Rubbing) Rubbing hands together creates heat due to friction.
Friction
(Direct contact without rubbing) Touching a metal spoon in hot soup transfers heat through conduction.
Conduction
(Without physical Contact) Bringing a charged balloon close to neutral paper, causing temporary charge separation without direct contact.
Induction
refers to the imbalance of electric charge on the surface of an object. (a sudden spark parang ganon, yung biglang nagbago)
Static Electricity
Positively charge (stays on the center)
Protons
Negatively charge (Constantly moving around outside)
Electrons
Neutral (equal proton and electron)
Neutrons
