Question 1

Static charge

Answer 1

Electricity that stays in one place

Question 2

Current electricity

Answer 2

Moving electricity

Question 3

Insulators

Answer 3

Any material that prevents/impedes the charges to move freely.
Examples: rubber, plastic, glass, wood.

Question 4

Conductors

Answer 4

Any material that allows charges to move freely

Examples: metals

Question 5

Coulomb

Answer 5

Unit of electric charge

Question 6

Grounding

Answer 6

Connecting electricity with the ground so that it can disperse

Question 7

Force

Answer 7

(F) a push or pull on an object

Question 8

Electric force

Answer 8

(FE) a push or pull between charged objects.

-can be applied without contact: action at a distance

Question 9

Factors influencing effects of electric force

Answer 9

Amount of charge: increase charge, FE ⬆️

Distance between objects: increase distance, FE ⬇️

Question 10

Laws of attraction and repulsion

Answer 10

1. Opposite charges attract
2. Like charges repel
3. Charges objects attract neutral

Question 11

Charging by conduction

Answer 11

Creating a charge in an object by direct transfer.

-contact

Question 12

Charging by induction

Answer 12

Occurs when an electric charge developed on an object due to the presence of a nearby charged object.
-no contact
