Across
- 5. the ability of a conductor to store energy in the form of electrically separated charges.
- 8. potential energy associated with a charge due to its position in an electric field.
- 12. the region where an electric force on a test charge can be detected. The space around a charged particle. Shown by drawing electric field lines
- 13. describes the relationship between distance, charge, and electric force of two objects that are near each other
- 14. rate at which electric charges pass through a given area SI Unit: ampere (A)
- 15. the change in the electrical potential energy of a charged particle divided by its charge
- 17. complete path
- 18. the presence of a charged object resulting in a more positive charge on one side.
- 19. the process of charging a conductor by bringing it near another
- 20. when no net motion of charge is occurring within a conductor
Down
- 1. the terminals of the source of potential difference constantly change signs therefore there is no net motion of the charges. Instead they just vibrate back and forth
- 2. allows electric charges to move freely
- 3. energy storage device that provides a constant potential difference between two locations called terminals
- 4. a device that is used to store electrical potential energy.
- 6. no complete path
- 7. charges move in only one direction with negative charges moving from lower to higher electric potential.
- 9. the work that must be performed against electric forces to move a charge from a reference point to the point in question divided by the charge.
- 10. a set of electrical components connected such that they provide one or more complete paths for the movements of charges
- 11. the attractive or repulsive force of two charged particles.
- 16. materials that do not transfer charge easily
- 21. rubbing two materials together (insulators).
