TermDefinition
Electrostatic force The attraction or repulsion between stationary charged particles. ( it is a non-contact force)
Coulomb’s law: Part 1 -Direct Proportion to change magnitude The magnitude of the electrostatic force is proportional to the products of the magnitudes of the two charges.
Coulomb's law: Part 2 - inverse square law of distance The force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of the two charges.
Coulomb's law: Part 3 - Action Along the Line/Direction The force is repulsive for like charges and attractive for opposite charges.
Electric field A vector field surrounding electric charges that exerts force on other charges.
Electric field lines point in the direction that . . . A positive test charge would accelerate or move if placed within the field.
electricity The flow of electrical power or charge.
conductor A material or device that conducts or transmits heat, electricity, or sound.
examples of conductors Lightning rod, electrical wires, metal pipes.
insulator A substance which does not readily allow heat or sound pass.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
