Question 1

What is the definition of an electric charge?

Answer 1

an imbalance of electric charge on the surface of the object

Question 2

What is the definition of a current charge?

Answer 2

a controlled flow of electrons through a conductor

Question 3

what does a positive charge mean?

Answer 3

more protons than electrons

Question 4

what does a negative charge mean?

Answer 4

less protons, more electrons

Question 5

what does a neutral charge mean?

Answer 5

a equal number of protons and electrons

Question 6

What is the law of electric charges

Answer 6

like charges repel, opposites attract,charged loves neutral

Question 7

Explain friction

Answer 7

neutral objects rubbed together, depending on the electrostatic series, one becomes positive one becomes negative

Question 8

Explain conduction

Answer 8

If 2 charged objects touch each other they will both become the same charge or neutral.If a charged object touches a neutral object, both objects will have that same resultant charge.

Question 9

explain induction

Answer 9

Occurs when an already charged object is brought close to a neutral object.

Question 10

what is conductors, and name some conductors

Answer 10

a conductor is something electrons can move easily through, some examples would be, meatals, salt water, earth, human body, water vapors

Question 11

what is insulators and name some?

Answer 11

an insulator is somethiing that doesbt allow electrons to flow through , some insulators are, silk, wood, plastic , rubber, glass, pure water, ebonite rod

Question 12

lighting

Answer 12

electric discharge, the rapid transfer of electric charge from one object to another

Question 13

lighting rod (iron and copper)

Answer 13

are used to safely direct lighting into the ground
