Electrostatics And Electricity Flashcards
Positively charged Objects
Electron deficient and have lost electrons
Negatively charged
Have an excess of electrons because they have gained electrons
Principle of charge quantization
all charges in the universe consist of an integer multiple of the charge on one electron
Principle of conservation of charge
The net charge of an isolated system remains constant during any physical process
Polarization of charge
The partial or complete polar separation of positive and negative electric charge in a system
Potential Difference
The work done or energy transferred per unit if the charge flowing through the battery
Emf
Energy provided by a battery per unit charge flowing through the battery
Terminal potential difference
The voltage is measured across the terminals of a battery when charges are flowing in the circuit
Current strength
The rate of flow of charge
Resistance
The ratio of the potential difference across a component to the current in the component
Resistance
The ratio of the potential difference across a component to the current in the component
