Net force
The ________ on any charge inside a conducting sphere is 0.
metals
Generally, ________ are good conductors and nonmetals are insulators.
Quanta
________ is the smallest package of a proton or electron that charge comes in.
static electricity
Electrons are easier to remove and in ________, we assume only electrons are being removed /added.
Zero
________ of electric potential=ground = a theoretical distance at which two charged particles are infinitely far away from each other and therefore don’t affect each other.
K
________ is the dielectric constant which shows how good of an insulator you have between plates.
ΔV
_____ is the magnitude of the voltage difference between plates.
electric field
Inside a conducting sphere, the ________ is 0.
Parallel plates
________ can be used to make capacitors (a device that stores charges and will be further explored in circuits)
negative charge
The direction of the force on a(n) ________ is the opposite direction as the electric field.
Electric potential
________ is scalar (only have magnitudes)
E
________ is the magnitude of the electric field.
protons
When an object has more electrons than ________, its negatively charged.
Law of conservation of charge
The _____________ states that the initial charge of the system will always equal the final charge of the system
Conductors
__________ allow charge to move easily through them
Insulators
____________ don’t allow charge to move easily through them (held in place)
Charging by Friction
______________ is accomplished by rubbing two objects like a fuzzy towel and iron rod, resulting in electrons jumping from one object to the other
Induced charge
An _________ is created when a neutrally charged object becomes polarized (electrons clump up on one side of the object and positive charges pile on the other side)
Field
A __________ is a property of a region that can apply force to objects found in that space
Electric potential
____________ is the Electric potential energy per unit charge (provided by an electric field)
Equipotential lines
______________ are lines on which a charged particle would have the same potential
