| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| charge of electrons | negative |
| charge of protons | positive |
| charge of neutrons | neutral |
| how do motors convert energy | from electric to mechanical |
| how do generators convert energy | from mechanical to electrical |
| what is transferred during conduction | electrons |
| what is the sudden flow of electrons between objects | static discharge |
| conduction | two objects with a different charge touch and electrons are transferred |
| induction | an electrically charge object is brought near a neutral object parts of the neutral object become charge with static electricity |
| friction | electrons are transferred when two neutral objects are rubbed together |
| conductor | material that allows electrically charge particles to easily flow through it |
| insulator | material that does not allow electrically charged particles to easily flow through |
| things that make electromagnets stornger | more wire and more size the iron core |
| what most affects friction | the texture of the object |
| what two things affect gravitational friction | mass = greater mass and distance = greater force |
| mass vs weight | mass is the same everywhere but objects weigh less on the moon than on earth due to the weaker gravitational pull of the moon |
| like attract opposites repel | like attracts opposites repel |
| what is static electricity | the build up of electric charge on an object |
