Explaining Contact And Non-contact Forces Flashcards
Electricity can build up creating a
Charge
Electrical charge can
Flow
Electrical charge can also be
Gathered in one place
Electricity will only flow through a
Conductor
Electricity can jump between a charged object and a normal object if
They come close

Is steel a conductor or insulator
Conductor
Nylon a conductor or insulator
Conductor
Is Perspex a conductor or insulator
Insulator
When an object becomes charged with static electricity, a field of electrostatic force
exists around the object
What type of force is a Static charge
Non-contact force
A charged rod will attract a
Suspended rod towards it
A charged balloon will cause
Hair to lift without contact
