Science chapter 6
lesson 1
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| How do charges interact? | charges that are the same repel and charges that are different attract |
| proton | positive + / represented by the color red |
| electron | negative - / represented by the color blue |
| Electric Force | the force between charged objects |
| Electric Field | a region around a charged object where the objects electric force is exerted on other charged objects |
| Field Line | shows the force that would be exerted on a positive charge at any point along that line |
| The more field lines= | the more force |
| Single charges | have straight filed lines |
| Static Electricity | the buildup of charges on an object |
| Law of Conservation of Charge | charges are neither created nor destroyed |
| How does charge build up? | by friction, conduction, induction, or polarization |
| Friction | is the transfer of electrons from one uncharged object to another by rubbing the objects together |
| Conduction | is the transfer of electrons from one object to another by direct contact |
| Induction | when a metal object is close to a negatively charged object electrons are repelled and move away and protons move toward the charge the close part of the metal becomes positively charged ant the far end becomes negatively charged / no direct contact |
| Polarization | the electrons react to electric fields resulting in individual atoms having charged ends that are attracted to charged objects |
| Static Discharge | the loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another |
