QuestionAnswer
electron characteristics - rest mass: 9.11 x 10^-31 kg - negative - size of electron: 1 x 10^18 m
proton characteristics - rest mass: 1.672 x 10^-27 kg - positive - size of proton: 1 x 10 ^15 m
neutron characteristics - rest mass: 1.674 x 10^-27 kg - neutral - size: 1 x 10^15 m
in an atom the # of protons equals the # of electrons true
the # of protons plus the # of neutrons in an atom's nucleus gives the atomic number true
imbalance of charge in an atom ion
when you charge an atom it's the electrons you affect not the protons
when electrons are freed from outer energy levels of atoms static energy
materials thru which an electric charge flows quite readily conductors
materials thru which an electric charge is not readily transferred insulators
examples of conductors gold, silver, copper, (any metal)
examples of insulators rubber, plastic, paper
What can be used to create charges on objects? friction
the law of electrostatics like charges repel; unlike charges attract
when you have separated charges in an object so that there are two oppositely charged sides polarization/induction
positive ion electron loser
negative ion electron gainer
one way electricity can be transferred thru contact static electricity
charge of 1 proton 1.6 x 10^-19
charge 1 electron -1.6 x 10^-19
How much is the charge of an electron and proton? 6.25 x 10^18
total charge formula q=ne
the net charge of an isolated sys remains constant law of the conservation of charge
the electric force btwn 2 charged objects will be proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square distance btw the charges columb's law of electrostatics
the effect of a medium added into the charge dielectric constant
induction causes sides that attract to move other charge away true
attracted to charged plates in the precipitator, removing them from emitted gases polarized particles
due to induction when a charged cloud is near the ground, the surface becomes charged thus creating a potential difference that allows the movement of electrons from one location to another true
the greater the number of electric field lines (the density) the stronger the electric field (has nothing to do w the length of the lines)
density greatest near the charge
types of fields gravitational, electric, and magnetic
through fields one object transmits its "force" to another object
if one places a + charge in an electric field, the + charge will go in the direction of the field lines to the FORCE created
if one places a - charge in an electric field, the + charge will go in the the opposite direction of the field lines due to the FORCE created
the lines of the electric field originate on the positive charge and terminate on the negative charge true
the unit of electric field strength N/C

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
