Q

States if the object is neutral, negatively charged, or positively charged

17
Q

It allows the flow of charges, especially electrons

18
Q

It resists the flow of electrons

19
Q

Atoms are made up of three subatomic particles namely:

A

Protons, electrons, and neutrons

20
Q

Unlike charges

21
Q

Like charges

22
Q

A charged object is touched to a conductor

Charging by contact

A

Charging by conductor

23
Q

Explain charging by conduction

A

When a good sphere conductor is placed near a negatively charged rod, electrons will then move from rod to sphere. After separation, both will obtain negative charges.

24
Q

Happens due to induced charges. No contact between two materials

A

Charging by induction

25
Explain charging by induction
The charges in a conducting object can be rearranged with the presence of an external charged object.
26
Two methods of charging an object
1. Charging by Friction 2. Charging by induction
27
Can happen when you rub two objects with unequal electronegativity. The object with higher electronegativity will be negatively charged, and the other object with lower electronegativity will be positively charged.
Charging by Friction
28
The algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant The charge is being conserved; cannot be created nor destroyed
Law of Conservation of Charge
29
Changes in charges are brought by the movement of
Negatively charged particles
