Question
Answer
The study of electrec charges at rest.   electrostatics  
🗑
Aforce tatl one charge exertson another. When the charges are the same sign, they repel;when the charges are opposite, they attract.   electrical forces  
🗑
The fundamental clectrical property to which the mutual attractions or repulsions between ewctrons or protons is attributed.   charge  
🗑
The principle that net clectric charge is neither created nor destroyed but is transferablefrom one material to another.   conservation of charge  
🗑
THe relationship among electrical force, charges, and distance:The electrical force between two charges varies directly as the product of the charges and inversely as the spuare of the distance between them.   Coulomb's law  
🗑
SI unit of charge. One coulonb is equal to the total charge of electrons.   coulomb  
🗑
Material, usually of metal, through which electric charge can flow. Good conductors of heat are generally good charge conductors.   conductor  
🗑
A material that is a poor conductor of electricity.   insulator  
🗑
Material that can be made to behave a either a conductor or an insulator of electricity.   semiconductor  
🗑
Term applied to electric charge that has been redestributed on an object because of the presence of a charged object nearby.   induced  
🗑
The charging of an object without direct contact,   induction  
🗑
allowing charges to move freely along a connection between a conductor and the ground.   grounding  
🗑
an atom or molecule in which the charges are aligned so that one side is slightly mor positive or negative than the opposite side.   electrically polarized  
🗑


   

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.
