| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| photon | A small package of light that acts like a particle |
| Charging by conduction | Charging an object by allowing it to come into contact with an object that already has an electrical charge |
| Charging by induction | Charging an object without direct contact between the object and a charge |
| Electrical current | The amount of charge that travels past a fixed point in an electric circuit each second |
| Conventional current | Current that flows from the positive side of the battery to the negative side. This is the way current is drawn in circuit diagrams, even though it is wrong. |
| Resistance | The ability of a material to impede the flow of charge |
| open circuit | A circuit that does not have a complete connection between the two sides of the power source. As a result, current does not flow. |
| first general principal regarding the force that exists between electiical charges | All electrical charges attract or repel one another: like charges repel, while opposite charges attract |
| 2nd principal | The force between charged objects is directly proportional to the amount of electrical charge on each object |
| 3rd principal | The force between charged objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects |
