Term
|
Definition
| Also called electrostatic force is a force that exists between static charges |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The strength of the electric force increases with increasing electric charges and decreases with increasing distance.
COULOMB:
SI unit for size of electric charge. |

Term
|
Definition
| Allows electrons to move freely between atoms. e.g. copper, aluminum, etc. |
|
|
Term
| Charging by Conduction(9.2) |
|
Definition
| When objects touch and an electric charge is transferred from one object to another. |
|
|
Term
| Charging by Friction(9.2) |
|
Definition
| When two objects are rubbed together. Friction causes electric charges to be transferred from one object to another. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A material in which electrons are so tightly bound to the atoms making up the material that they are not free to move to a neighbouring atom. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an electric charge that builds up because of an imbalance between the number of electrons and protons |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| to remove all excess static electric charge so that the object is neutral |

|
Term
| Induced charge separation |
|
Definition
| a slight shift in the position of electrons |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| trnansferring an electric charge from one object to another by bringing a charged object close to, without touching another object (no derect contact) |
|
|
Term
