(16 cards)

electroscope

Front

measuring instrument that detects electric charge, a device containing two suspended metal leaves in a jar that move apart when charged; used to detect the presence of electric charges

Back

electrometer

Front

meter to measure electrostatic voltage differences

Back

Coulomb

Front

the SI unit for charge

Back

conductors

Front

Materials that allow electric charges to flow through them.

Back

elementary charge

Front

the smallest unit of electric charge that is possible in ordinary matter., The charge on one proton. The negative is the charge on one electron. Equivalent to 1.60 x 10^-19 C

Back

grounded symbol physics

Front

Back

charge by conduction

Front

a meathod of charging an object by allowing electrons to flow by direct contact from one object to another

Back

Coulomb's law

Front

Any two charged objects will create a force on each other. Opposite charges will produce an attractive force while similar charges will produce a repulsive force. The greater the charges, the greater the force. The greater the distance between them, the smaller the force.

Back

semi conductor

Front

element that does not conduct electricity as well as metal but conducts better that a nonmetal, metalloid

Back

electricity

Front

energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a conductor

Back

Columb's law

Front

The greater the charges, the more force. F=k(q1q2)/(d^2)

Back

polar

Front

describes a molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends

Back

insulators

Front

materials that prevent electric charges from flowing through them easily

Back

conservation of electricity

Front

the principle that the total electric charge of a system remains constant despite changes inside the system

Back

grounded

Front

Allowing charges to flow directly from the circuit into Earth in the event of a short circuit

Back

static electricity

Front

electricity produced by friction, The buildup of electric charges on an object, A stationary electrical charge that is built up on the surface of a material, old name amber effect
