Science 1 Flashcards
what is an ionic substance
metal mixed with something that isn’t a metal
definition of static
electron build up (lightning) naturally occuring
definition of current
free flowing electrons always manmade
what do protons make up
the character of the atom
what do electrons provide
electricity
what is a conductor
a substance that allows electrons to pass through easily
is there such thing as a perfect insulator or conductor
no
example of a conductor
metal ionic substance in H2O
what is an insulator
a substance that does not allow the passage of electrons
example of an insulator
air
example of a ressistor
computer
what does an ionic substance in water do
conducts a ton of electricity
do protons move
no
what is physics
the study of energy motion
electricity is
the movement of electrons
couloms are
lots of electrons
proton mass
1 amu
proton charge
+1
proton location
nucleus
proton function
confers identity
neutron mass
1 amu
neutron charge
0
neutron location
nucleus
neutron funtion
creates stability
electron mass
0 amu
electron charge
-1
electron location
electron cloud
electron function
reactions
how many electrions are in a coulom
6250000000000000000
positive charge
electron loss
negative charge
electron gain
is static DC or AC
DC
is static electricity naturally occuring
yes
what is EPD
electrical potential difference
what is EPD measured in
charge
what does EMF stand for
electromotive force
how is EMF charged
volts
what does a triboelectric scale, electroscope, and vande Graaff generator do
determines what matter gains E and loses E
what do all electrons want
to go to the ground
first step of friction
build up of E
second step of Friction
EPD
third step of friciton
EMF (discharge, voltage, lightening)
describe friction
discharge within cloud between negative and positive top
describe Electric potential difference
is created when typical lightening hits the ground
Describe EMF
pulls electrons out of clouds
what is resistance
the ability of an object to slow doesn electrons (measured in Ohms)
what is voltage
the force that pushes electrons measures in volts
what is current
the speed of coulumbs per second (measured in AMPS)
direct relationship
both numbers move in the same direction
