STATIC ELECTRICITY AND CHARGE

Front

What kind of effect is observed when you use a comb near bits of paper, a phenomenon documented by the ancient Greeks using amber?

Back

Amber effect, Triboelectric effect, Static electricity

Front

A physical property of matter that causes a material to experience a force when it is close to another matter.

Back

Electric charge

Front

States that charge is neither created nor destroyed, it can only be transferred from one system to another.

Back

Law of Conservation of Charge

Front

What happens when a positive object is brought close to another positive or negative material?

Back

Law of Charge

Front

The force of attraction increases with increasing distance but the force of repulsion increases with decreasing distance.

Back

TRUE

Front

Part of atom that is positively charged

Back

Protons

Front

Part of an atom that has the same or equal number of positive and negative charge

Back

Neutrons

Front

Located outside the nucleus of an atom and are weakly bound. They can easily be transferred from one object to another and they are negatively charged.

Back

Electrons

Front

The atom is electrically neutral if it has an unequal number of protons and electrons.

Back

FALSE

Front

What is the SI unit of charge, named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, a French physicist best known for establishing the relationships among force, charge, and distance?

Back

Coulomb
