2. Introduction to Electricity w Static Electricity

List atomic structures and their charges

The nucleus consist of protons (+), neutrons (neutral charge) and electrons (-), which orbit the nucleus. Protons and electrons have equal but opposite charges, while neutrons have no charge.

Where are electrons located in the atomic structure?

Electrons orbit the nucleus.

What are the two types of electricity?

Static Electricity and Current Electricity

Static Electricity

Static electricity is the build up of electric charge on a surface caused by friction.

Current Electricity

Current Electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, typically involving the movement of electrons in a circuit

Positive charges with positive charges repel/attract?

Repel

Negative charges with negative charges repel/attract?

Repel

Opposite charges repel/attract?

Attract

Conduction

The flow of heat of charges through a material which is made by direct contact and electrons flowing.

Induction

The process of charging an object without touching it

Friction

A process of two surfaces sliding or trying to slide across eachother in order to remove charges (usually electrons)
