Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
electric force   the attraction or repulsion between electric charges  
🗑
electric field   the region around a charged object where the object's electric force interacts with other charged objects  
🗑
static electricity   a buildup of charges on an object  
🗑
conservation of charge   the law that states that charges are neither created nor destroyed but only transferred from one material to another  
🗑
friction   a method of charging an object by rubbing it against another object; the force that one object exerts on another when the two rub against each other  
🗑
conduction   a method of charging an object by allowing electrons to flow by direct contact from one object to another object  
🗑
induction   a method of charging an object by means of the electric field of another object; the objects have no direct contact  
🗑
static discharge   the loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another  
🗑
electric current   the continuous flow of electric charges through a material  
🗑
electric circuit   a complete, unbroken path through which electric charges can flow  
🗑
conductor   a material through which charges can easily flow  
🗑
insulator   a material through which charges cannot easily flow  
🗑
voltage   the difference in electrical potential energy between two places in a circuit  
🗑
voltage source   a device that creates an electrical potential energy difference in an electric circuit; batteries and generators are voltage sources  
🗑
resistance   the measurement of how difficult it is for charges to flow through a material  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
