Q

What are the five electrostatic laws?

A

1: like charges repel and unlike charges attract
2: the electrostatic force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of their quantities and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
3: Electric charges reside only one the external surface
4: the concentration of charges on a curved surface of a conductor is greatest where the curvature is greatest
5: only negative charges are free to move in solid conductors

Superconductors
27
Off and on and it sometimes allows flow
Semiconductor
28
Allow free flow of negative charge
Conductor
29
Does not allow the flow of negative charge
Nonconductors or insulators
30
How readily it allows flow of negative charge is determined by
Atomic structure of object
31
Deficiency of electrons
Positively charges
32
Excess of electrons
Negatively charge
33
Process of removing or adding negative charges to a body of matter
Electrification
34
If you have more electrons than protons it’s
Negative
35
If you have more protons than electrons it’s
Positive
36
If their are the same number of electrons and protons
Neutral
37
Addition of an electron to a neutral atom gives it a
Negative charge
38
If one or more electrons are removed the atom is
Positively charges
39
All atoms contain what in motion around a nucleus
E-
40
They are uncharged elementary particles found in the nucleus of a atom
Neutrons
41
Electric charge deals with what charge since they are freely move able
Negative electric
42
They are free to move from atom to atom because they are located outside the nucleus Inner-shell are more tightly bound than putter-shell
Electrons
43
They are fixed inside the nucleus of a atom and are not free to move
Protons
44
The smallest unit of an electric charge is
Protons and elections

68
A device that produces electrons through a chemical reaction, stores and electric charge for the long term and provides an electric potential
Battery
69
A device that is like a battery in that it stores an electric charge but works very differently in that it cannot produce new electrons and stores the charge only temporarily
Capacitor
70
Is a “one way valve” device and allows electrons to flow in o my one direction

71
Act as emergency devices that break or open the circuit if there is a sudden surge of electricity to the circuit or device
Fuses, circuit, and breakers
72
Simply a section a special wire, usually encased in glass, that quickly melts if the current flow rises excessively, thus opening the circuit
