Question
Answer
What material becomes negatively charged when rubbed?   Polythene  
🗑
What material becomes positively charged when rubbed?   Cellulose acetate  
🗑
What is a conductor?   A substance through which electric charge may flow  
🗑
What is an insulator?   A substance through which electric charge cannot flow  
🗑
Where does static charge accumulate?   Where the conductor is most pointed

State Coulomb's law.   The point of attraction or repulsion between two points is directly proportionate to the product of the charges and inversely proportionate to the square of the distance between them.  
🗑
What is an electric field?   Any region of space where a static electric charge experiences a force other than gravity  
🗑
What is the line of force?   A line drawn showing the direction of the force  
🗑
Name three applications of electric fields.   Photocopying, electrostatic precipitators, and damaging integrated circuits  
🗑
Define electric field strength.   The force per unit charge at a given point  
🗑
What is the unit of electric field strength?   Newton per coulomb/ Volt per meter  
🗑
