- - - - Nonexamples
        
        Neutrons
      - Definition
        
        The space around a particle through which an electric charge can exert force
      - Examples
        
        Electrons
        
        Protons
      - Characteristics
        
        Strength of field is greater near particle, weaker further away
    - - Nonexamples
        
        Neutrons
      - Definition
        
        A property that allows an object to exert an electric force on another object without touching it
      - Examples
        
        Electrons
        
        Protons
      - Characteristics
        
        Balance out
        
        Can make things stick and shock you, and can be positive or negative
- - - - Electric Potential
        
        The amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a certain position in an electric field
        
        Measured in:
        
        Volts:
    - - When water moves from a higher to a lower position, some of its potential energy is used to move it
    - - Potential Energy:
        
        Stored energy an object may have because of its position
      - Electric Potential Energy:
        
        The energy a charged particle has due to its position in an electric field
    - - Lightning:
        
        A high-energy static discharge
        
        Caused by storm clouds
        
        How Lightning Forms:
        
        Static Discharge
        
        Charge Buildup
        
        Charge Separation
