induction | | opposite charges |
electricallypolarized | | neutral atom |
coulomb | | charging an object without direct contact |
CoulombsLaw | | an atom or molecule is induced to be slightly more postive or negative than the opposite side |
grounding | | electricity at rest |
repel | | a material that has near infinite conductivity at low temperatures |
superconductors | | electrons are neither created nor destroyed |
conservationofcharge | | SI unit of charge |
electron | | negative charge |
proton | | a material, usually a metal, through which electric charge can flow |
zeronetcharge | | a material that is a poor conductor |
electrical forces | | a force one electric charge exerts on another |
electrostatics | | positive charge |
conductors | | like charges |
charge | | electric charge that has been redistributed on an object due to the presence of a nearby charged object |
induced | | allowing charges to move freely along a connection between a conductor and the gound |
semiconductors | | for charged particles that are small compared to the distance between them, the force between the charges varies directly as the product of the charges and inversely as the square of the distance between them |
ion | | protons and neutrons |
attract | | the property to which the mutual repulsion of electrons or protons is attributed |
insulators | | an atom that has gained or lost electrons |
nucleus | | a material that can be made to act as a conductor or insulator |
