Electrostatics Flashcards
1
Q
Positive charge
A
Electrons removed making the object electron deficient
2
Q
Negatively charged
A
Electrons are added giving the object an excess of electrons
3
Q
Electrostatic force
A
The force exerted by static charges on each other
4
Q
Principle of conservation of charge
A
The net charge of an isolated system remains constant during any physical process
5
Q

A
Materials becoming charged by coming into contact with each other
6

Q
Polarization
A
Process of separation of charge
10
Q
If charge place on insulators….
A
Stay there and be concentrated in that area
11
Q
Charge place on conductors
A
Like charges repel and will spread out over the surface
