Electricity And Magnetism

Front 1

What does Electrostatic mean?

Back 1

electricity at rest
also involves electric charge, the forces between them and behaviors in materials

Front 2

Electrical Forces:definition.
what happens to protons and electrons
what happens to electrons and electrons?

Back 2

arise from particles in atoms
attract
repel

Front 3

discharging

Back 3

neutralizing charge by getting rid of electron or give electron back

heat it, drop it

Front 4

charging

Back 4

donation of electron to object

Front 5

similarities between static electricity and magnetism

Back 5

-both forces are derived from electrons
-both follow these principles::opposites attract and like repel
-both involve induction:
-electric induction- causing a temporary charge distribution in a neutral object
-magnectic induction-magnetizing a ferromagnet

Front 6

differences between static electricity and magnetism

Back 6

-magnets-North and south pole
-statics have charges (positive and negative)
-magnetism is dervied from spinning electrons
-static's involves the actual transfer of charge (electron)

Front 7

Voltage

Back 7

potential difference
-can produce a flow of charge within a conductor

Front 8

Power

Back 8

rate at which energy is transferred
-heat flows through a conductor when a difference exists
-equalization of temperature stops the flow of heat

Front 9

electricity

Back 9

electrical charge flows when a potential difference exists
-charge flows from high to low potential
-charge flows until a common potential is reacited
-energy moves through wires not electrons
-power companies sell energy
