Electricity Notes 1 for Unit 2 Lesson 1
Electric Charge
atoms
nucleus
charges
has no charge when balanced
electrons
friction
electrons transfer through friction
static
static electricity
build up of electrons
conduction
transfer through contact
induction
transfer of electrons over a distance
conservation of charge
never created or destroyed
Electric Force
force applied to each other by charged objects
likes repel
opposites attract
distance
the closer together the charged objects are the greater the electric field
Conductors Insulators and Semiconductors
conductors
material through which charges can move freely
insulators
materials through which charges cannot move easily
semiconductor
better than insulators not as well as conductors
can be used to control the flow of the charge
