Electrostatics Flashcards
1
Q
Positive electrons
Negative electrons
A
Protons
Electrons
2
Q
Positively charged
A
Electrons are removed making an object electron deficient
3
Q
Negatively charged
A
Electrons are added giving the object excess of electrons
4
Q
Single electron
A
e= -1,6 x 10^-19
5
Q
Polarization
A
The electrons in insulators are bound to the atoms of the insulator and cannot move around freely
One side is more positive than the other
