Across
- 4. A material such as copper, through which a charge will move easily
- 6. of Conservation of Charge Charge is always conserved. When all objects involved are considered prior to and after a given process, the total amount of charge amidst the objects is the same before the process starts as it is after the process ends
- 8. Charge Basic property of matter carried by some elementary particles that governs how the particles are affected by an electric or magnetic field
- 10. Charge The magnitude of the charge of an electron; approximately 1.602 x 10^-19 C
- 14. Electricity Form of electricity resulting from the imbalance between positive and negative charges within a material that occurs when electrons move from one material to another
- 17. Production of light with a specific pattern of oscillation
- 18. One of the three basic subatomic particles, that make up atoms, no electric charge
- 20. The process of charging an object without touching it, which can be accomplished by bringing an object close to a neutral object, causing a separation of charges, then separating the object to be charged, trapping opposite but equal charges
- 22. Negatively charged ions formed when an atom or group of atoms gains one or more valence electrons
Down
- 1. A material, such as glass, through which a charge will not move easily
- 2. Material that behaves as a conductor under certain conditions and as an insulator in others; can be used to make solid-state electronic components
- 3. The process of charging a neutral object by touching it with a charged object
- 5. The study of electric charges that can be collected and held in one place
- 7. The SI standard unit of charge; one coulomb (C) is the magnitude of the charge of 6.24 x 10^18 electrons or protons
- 9. One of the three basic subatomic particles, that make up atoms, negative electric charge
- 11. One of the three basic subatomic particles, that make up atoms, positive electric charge
- 12. A material with zero resistance that can conduct electricity without thermal energy transformations
- 13. Positively charged ions that result from an atom or group of atoms losing one or more valence electrons
- 15. Discharge Release of static electricity that occurs when an accumulation of electric charge flows, often suddenly, from an object to another.
- 16. Any atom or group of atoms that bears one or more positive or negative electrical charges
- 19. Results in a transfer of electrons between the two objects that are rubbed together
- 21. The process of dispersing excess charge by touching an object to Earth or other large conductive body
