- 2. a material in which charges move easily, examples most metals and tap water.
- 4. field a region around a charged particle that can exert a force on another charged particle
- 6. charged when an atom loses electrons, it becomes...
- 7. drawn together
- 9. force The force between charged objects
- 10. of charge no charges (electrons) are created or destroyed just moved around
- 12. and distance The strength of an electric force is determined by...
- 14. does an atom have a charge?
- 16. unit of electrical current
- 19. a material in which charges cannot move easily. The electrons are tightly bound to the atom and do not flow. Examples include rubber, plastic, glass, wood, air and ceramic. They are used to cover wires and prevent shock
Down
- 1. charges attract negative charges
- 3. part of the nucleus of the atom- has NO charge
- 5. pushed apart
- 6. part of the nucleus of the atom- has a positive charge
- 8. flow of charged particles that carry electrical energy
- 11. charged when an atom gains electrons, it is...
- 13. a property of matter that is responsible for electrical properties. There are 2 types, positive and negative
- 15. found outside of the atom and has a negative charge
- 17. of electric charges Like charges repel and opposite charges attract.
- 18. energy The amount of energy stored based on the position and size of the charge. Bigger charges and closer charges have more potential energy
