Physics Flashcards
a sub atomic particle t is negative charge, particle of an atom
Electrons
positive charge
Protons
no charge
Neutrons
study of electric phenomena due to the changes that atleast
temporarily stationary
electrostatic/ static electricity
the kite experiment, it performs during stormy day, it is to
demonstrate the connection between lightning and static energy, he observed sparks produced
the key (metal), the sparks were similar to a circuit electricity
Benjamin Franklin (1752)
was discovered by greek Thales of Miletus (500 bc) through a
material called amber
Application of static electricity
- a fossil resting of trees from polyterous plants
- it is yellowish, round, slightly brittle, pleasant odor
- when rub on objects becomes slightly negative called friction
- used in jewelry making, cigarettes holder, arts
- negatively charged, when place near straw of rice it attracts rice
- the word electron is derived from greek word of amber “electron”
Amber
-is an electromotive force it influences a charge object
- building act of electric charge on the surface of an objec
Static electricity
a physical property of matter that causes matter of an object to be attracted to or repelled from
another charge object
Electric charge
two types of electric charges
positive and negative
charged particles
Ions
donors of electrons (give electrons to nonmetals)
Metals
the takers or acceptors of the electrons
Nonmetals
the power to attract electrons increasing
Electronegativity
the strongest element to attract electrons
Fluorine
