Hint
Answer
Balloons rubbed with the same materials... (attract/repel)
repel
Balloons and the materials they are rubbed with... (attract/repel)
attract
Balloons rubbed with different materials... (attract/repel)
attract
These effects are stronger when the objects are... (closer/further)
closer
Objects acquire electric _____ after rubbing
charge
Charged objects exert electric ____ on each other
forces
Electrons can transfer between objects, but ____ can't.
protons
This substance holds electrons well. (Given they both start out as neutral, between it and a balloon, all the electrons from the balloon will move to this, leaving the balloon positive.)
plastic
Charge is _______.
conserved
A material through which charges will not move easily is called a(n)
insulator
A material that allows charges to move around freely is called a(n)
conductor
Any metal, human body, water & humid air are examples of...
conductors
Glass, wood, plastic, rubber, dry air, etc. are examples of...
insulators
_____ electrons are held together tightly in insulators, but move freely in conductors.
Valence
A neutral object can acquire charge through touch with a charged object is called charging by _______, resulting in same-charged objects.
conduction
A neutral object can acquire charge without touch near a charged object is called charging by ______, resulting in opposite-charged objects.
induction
Charged and neutral objects can attract by _______ a charge on the neutral object. (Because electrons move freely in conductors, the attraction to the conductor is stronger)
inducing
_________ is neutralizing a charged object by connecting it with the Earth.
Grounding
Electric charge symbol is q, and units are the ______, represented by (C).
coulomb
Coulomb's force law is represented by F = k q1 q2 / r^2. What is k?
9*10^9
Q is the _____ value of the charges involved.
absolute
r is the _____ between the two charges.
distance
Remember to add ______ because force is involved
direction
Determine the force on the electron (-1.6*10^-19 C) due to the proton (1.6*10^-19 C) in the hydrogen atom (shown below) (I can't get the diagram in here so r is 10^-10 m) Include units and direction in your answer (using "to the")
2.3*10^-8 N to the left
When ______ get really close, the force between them gets really, really large!
charges
a property that pushes the current through the circuit (equivalent to gravity for a waterfall)
Voltage
Units for the last answer
volts
friction that impedes flow of current through the circuit (rocks in the river)
Resistance
Units for the last answer
Ohms
the actual “substance” that is flowing through the wires of the circuit (electrons!)
Current
Units for the last answer
Amps
Ohm's Law
V = IR
Series circuits have (one/many) current(s).
one (IT=I1=I2)
Series circuits have (one/many) voltage drop(s).
many (VT=V1+V2)
Roughly type out how resistors add with series circuits.
RT=R1+R2...
Parallel circuits have (one/many) current(s).
many (IT=I1+I2)
Parallel circuits have (one/many) voltage drop(s).
one (VT=V1=V2)
Roughly type out how resistors add with parallel circuits.
1/RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2...
Kirchhoff’s Junction Rule: The total current into a junction _____ the total current out of the junction.
equals
Current in Parallel Circuits only spilt evenly if the resistance is the ____.
same
You get (more/less) current in branches that have less resistance.
more
To deal with Series-Parallel circuits, you combine both parallel resistors into one, so it can be one side of a ____ circuit, then you solve as a series and use V = IR to find what you want
series
When drawing field lines, a positive field goes (towards/out from) the source.
out from
Negative fields go (towards/out from) the source.
towards
To draw a stronger charge, draw (more/less) arrows closer together.
more
Add vectors tip to ___.
tail
To find the total force on any single charge, you simply apply ______'s Law one by one for each of the other charges present, then add them!
Coulomb
Gravity and Weak Nuclear are weaker fundamental forces, while __________ and strong nuclear are stronger fundamental forces.
electromagnetism
Charging by _____ is the official term for transferring electrons between two objects through rubbing.
friction
