Vocabulary P.1 Vocabulary P. 2 Transferring Charge Other
100
electrons
Negative particles in an atom that are used to produce electricity
100
atom
The simplest form of matter made up of protons, electrons, and neutrons
100
friction
The transfer of electrons through rubbing objects
100
metal/ lightning rod on top of roof; metal wire connected to rod going down the side of the house/ building, metal/ grounding rod connecting wire to the ground
Draw a picture describing the process of "grounding"
200
static electricity
A charge imbalance that results in an accumulation of excess electric charge
200
electric field
An area surrounding charged particles within which a force can be exerted on other charged particles
200
induction/ polarization
The transfer of electrons over an electric field working at a distance
200
Moving clouds create a build up of static electricity. Charge becomes so great it induces a positive charge on ground. Attraction eventually becomes so strong e- travel to earth (in the bolt) to neutralize.
In 3 bullet points OR a picture, briefly explain how lightning is created
300
electroscope
Device that detects electric charge
300
insulators
materials that block the flow of electrons
300
conduction
The transfer of electrons through direct contact where both materials are conductors
400
conductors
Materials that allow electrons to flow easily are...
400
static discharge
the sudden flow of electric charge between two charged objects, due to a build up of static electricity
400
opposites attract, likes repel, law of conservation of charge
What are the 3 rules of charge?
500
matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
500
grounding
the process of removing excess charge on an object by transferring e- to another object to neutralize the electrical imbalance.
