These are important vocabulary words that are also within the important concepts. In the concepts, the red words are important vocab.
This page is designed to help you learn vocab words that you might not know.
Electro statics-the study of stationary electric charges or fields as opposed to electric currents.
Static Electricity-a stationary electric charge, typically produced by friction, that causes sparks or crackling or the attraction of dust or hair.
Electric Charge(-/+)-
|+having a deficiency of electrons; having a higher electric potential
|-having a surplus of electrons; having a lower electric potential
Neutral vs. Charged Objects- Neutral objects have the same amount of protons and electrons.
Charged Interactions- When objects effect each other amount of electrons.
Coulomb-the SI unit of electric charge, equal to the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.
Conductor-a material or device that conducts or transmits heat, electricity, or sound, especially when regarded in terms of its capacity to do this.
Insulator- a substance or device that does not readily conduct electricity.
Induction-the production of an electric or magnetic state by the proximity (without contact) of an electrified or magnetized body.
the production of an electric current in a conductor by varying the magnetic field applied to the conductor.
Ground-An object that serves as a seemingly infinite reservoir of electrons.
Electrostatic force-the forces between particles that are caused by their electric charges-the forces between particles that are caused by their electric charges.
Coulombs Law-Coulomb's law, or Coulomb's inverse-square law, is a law of physics describing the electrostatic interaction between electrically charged particles.
Electric field- the forces between particles that are caused by their electric charges- It is said "Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when close to other electrically charged matter."
Electro static equilibrium-Electrostatic equilibrium simply means that no net force is acting on the charged particle, and it doesn't accelerate, ie it's a charge fixed in space
