static electricity
an electrical charge built up on an insulated object; since oppositely charged atoms are attracted to each other, objects with opposite static electricity fields cling together
2
New cards
charge polarization
atom/molecule in which the charges are aligned with a slight + charge on one side and slight - charge on the other
3
New cards
electric field
space around a charge that is altered; has magnitude and direction
4
New cards
gravitational field
alteration of space around a mass
5
New cards
magnetic field
alteration of space around a mass
6
New cards
