Science study (Electric Forces and stuff)

Electric Charge is

A property of matter

An object is either.....

Positive, Negative, or Neutral

All matter is made up of.....

Atoms

Atoms have…

3 smaller particles in them.

Protons have a…

Positive Charge

Electrons have a…

Negative Charge

Neutrons have…

NO CHARGE (NEUTRAL)

Protons and Neutrons are held tightly in the center of the atom called the....

Nucleus

Electrons are located....

Outside the Nucleus

Atoms are usually....

Neutral

Atoms have the....

Same number of electrons

Atoms become charged by….

Gaining or Loosing Electrons

Any material that GAINS electrons will become…..

Negative

Any material that LOSES electrons will become...

Positive

Charged objects will exert an...

Electric Force

Electric Forces are…

Noncontact forces

Objects with opposite charges….

Attract

Objects with Like/Same Charges….

Repel

The strength of the elctric force between two charged objects depends on.......

The amount of charge built up on each object and the distance between the objects.

The electric force ______ as more charges build up on both objects

Increases

The electric force _____ as the objects get further apart.

Decreases

Sometimes when two neutral objects are rubbed together, the FRICTION between the two objects will cause the ___________ to move from one of the objects to the other.

electrons

Usually, the natural material will ____ electrons and become ___________ charged.

Loose, Positively

The synthetic material will ____ electrons and become __________ charged.

Gain, Negatively

A charged object sometimes transfers charges to the surface of a neutral object when they touch. This is called charging by......

Conduction

Sometimes, charges could be rearranged within a neutral object when a charged object is brought near it but does touch it. This is called charging by....

Induction

Example of induction….

Induction happens in a wall when a charged balloon is brought near it.

Charges that build up on a material will slowly move to the surrounding air molecules or they may move suddenly. This is called an electric....

Discharge

The law of Conservation of charge states.....

The amount of electric charge in the Universe remains constant. Charges CANNOT BE created or DESTROYED! They simply move from one place to another.
