Static Electricity

Static electricity knowledge based questions

TermDefinition
Charge The characteristics of the elementary particles which consist of matter is called charge. The unit of charge is coulomb (C).
Coulomb or 1C If 1 ampere (1 A) current flows through a conductor for 1 second (1 s), then the amount of charge that passes through any cross section of the conductor is called coulomb (1 C)
Conductors The substances through which electricity or electric charge can pass easily are called conductors, e.g. metal, soil, human body etc.
Non-conductors or insulator The substances through which electricity or electric charge cannot pass easily are called non-conductors or insulator, such as wood, paper, glass etc.
Semiconductors Semiconductors are materials which have a conductivity between conductors and non-conductors or insulator. Semiconductors can be pure elements, such as silicon or germanium, or compounds such as gallium arsenide or cadmium selenide.
Electrification The process of making a neutral body into a charged body is known as electrification.
Charged atom The shortage or excess of electrons in any atom is considered to be charged atom.
Electroscope The instrument which detects the existence and nature of charge in any body is called electroscope.
Electric induction The process of charging a neutral body by bringing it very near to the charged body is called electric induction.
Electric force The force acting between two charges or between two charged objects is called electric force. It may be attractive or repulsive.

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.
