Physics Quarter 3

a form of energy due to electric charges

_____ is an intrinsic property of electrons and protons, which are found in atoms

SI unit for electric charge

Charge of a proton

Charge of an electron

What are the three methods of charging?

In this process, two different insulating materials, which are initially neutral, are rubbed together

In this process, a charged object is placed in contact with the object to be charged

A _______ builds up static electricity by transferring charge from a moving belt to a metal dome. When you touch the dome, the charge spreads across your body, including your hair. Since each hair strand gets the same charge, they repel each other and spread apart, making your hair stand up. This happens because like charges repel, following electrostatic principles.

In this process, a charged object is close enough to but does not touch a grounded object
