Term
| State the two types of charge |
|
Definition
positive (+)
negative (-)
and thus, neutral (0)
|
|
|
Term
| Law of conservation of charge |
|
Definition
| Charge is always conserved, and never created or destroyed (like energy) |
|
|
Term
| What is the difference between conductors and insulators? |
|
Definition
conductors: a material that allows the flow of charge through it
In conductors, the flow of charge is always the result of the flow of electrons from atom to atom
insulators: charge cannot flow through a material |
