Electricity Definition
A form of energy that results from the interaction of charged particles, such as electrons or protons
-
Static Charge/Electricity definition
an electric charge that tends to stay on the surface of an object, rather then flowing away quickly
-
Charging by friction definition
a process in which objects made from different materials rub against each other, producing a net static charge on each object
-
Electrostatic Series
a list of materials that have been arranged according to there ability to hold onto electrons
-
Insulator
a material in which electrons cannot move easily from one atom to another
-
Conductor
a material in which electrons can move easily between atoms
-
Semiconductor
A material in which electrons can move fairly well between atoms
-
Ground
An object that can supply a very large number electrons from, a charged object, thus neutralizing that object
-
Electroscope
a device for detecting the presence of an electric charge
-
Charging by contact
Generating a net charge on a neutral object by touching it with a charged object
-
Laws of electric charges
Laws that describe how two objects interact electrically when one or both are charged
-
Electric Field
a property of the space around a charged object, where the effects of its charge can be felt by other objects
-
Induced charge separtation
the movement of electrons in a substance, caused by the electric field of a near by charged object that is not in direct contact with the substance
-
Ion
a positively or negatively charged atom or group of atoms
-
Lighting rod
a metal sphere or a point that is attached to the highest part of a building and connected to ground
-
Electrostatic Precipitator
a type of cleaner that removes unwanted particles and liquid droplets from a flow of gas
