more electrons than protons carries a?
negative charge
more protons than protons carries a?
positive charge
neutral objects may be electrically active through?
polarization
what happens either +/- is brought near a neutral object?
the electrons and protons are pushed in opposite direction
What happens to two same charges?
repel each other
What happens to two opposite charges?
attracts each other
3 ways for neutral object to become charged
friction
conduction
induction
two different materials rub each other, causing a transfer of electrons
FRICTION
Charging of conduction
charging an uncharged material by bringing it into touch with some other charged material
used to charge an object without actually touching the object to any other charged object
INDUCTION
WHAT IS COULOMB’S LAW
the force of attraction or repulsion between two charged bodies is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
