Electric Force

Question 1

electric force

Answer 1

the force between charged particles or objects.

Question 2

electric field

Answer 2

a region around the charged particle or object where the electric force is exerted on other charged particles or objects.

Question 3

exert or exerted

Answer 3

to apply a force

Question 4

repel

Answer 4

to push away

Question 5

charging by friction

Answer 5

occurs when two objects rub against each other and negatively charged particles move from object to the other

Question 6

attract

Answer 6

to pull or draw toward itself

Question 7

initial

Answer 7

existing at the beginning

Question 8

charging by conduction

Answer 8

the movement of charge by direct contact between objects

Question 9

region

Answer 9

a specific part or area

Question 10

interaction

Answer 10

a mutual action or influence

Question 11

static discharge

Answer 11

charge transfers to or from the air until the charged object is neutral

Question 12

static electricity

Answer 12

the buildup of charge on an object

Question 13

charging by induction

Answer 13

the electric field of one charged object repels the negatively charged particles of the other object

Question 14

electric current

Answer 14

the continuous flow of charge

Question 15

charging by polarization

Answer 15

negatively charged particles only move to the opposite side of their atoms

Question 16

conductor

Answer 16

material that have loosely bound negatively charged particles that allow charge to flow freely

Question 17

insulator

Answer 17

materials that have negatively charged particles that are tightly bound and do not allow charge to flow

Question 18

voltage

Answer 18

the difference in electrical potential energy per charge
