Question 14

Scaler

Answer 14

Only having one magnitude no direction

Question 15

Vector

Answer 15

a quantity having direction as well as magnitude, especially as determining the position of one point in space relative to another.

Question 16

Displacement

Answer 16

the action of moving something from its place or position.

Question 17

Current electricity

Answer 17

An electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge past a point or region. An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by electrons moving through a wire.

Question 18

Static electricity

Answer 18

Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge.

Question 19

Conductors

Answer 19

In physics and electrical engineering, a conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of charge (electrical current) in one or more directions. Materials made of metal are common electrical conductors.

Question 20

Charged particles

Answer 20

In physics, a charged particle is a particle with an electric charge. It may be an ion, such as a molecule or atom with a surplus or deficit of electrons relative to protons. It can also be an electron or a proton, or another elementary particle, which are all believed to have the same charge (except antimatter).

Question 21

Insulator

Answer 21

Do not allow charged particles to move freely through them e.g. rubber, plastic
