Static Electricity

• Conductors allow the flow of electric charges, whereas insulators do not allow the flow of electric charges.
• Current can be calculated using Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage / Resistance.
• Like charges repel, while opposite charges attract.
• Positive charges are indicated by Protons, while negative charges are indicated by Electrons.
• Electron affinity is the measure of an object’s ability to keep and attract electrons
• An electroscope is a device that is designed to indicate the presence of an electric charge.
• Charles du Fay is the scientist who thought of the two fluid model of electricity.
• Benjamin Franklin was the scientist that thought of the single fluid theory.
• An electroscope is a device designed to indicate the presence of an electric charge
• Metal leaf electroscopes are another common type of electroscope, consisting of one or two small thin sheets of metal that can visibly move if a charge is present
• An electroscope can be used to investigate electric charges
• The pith-ball electroscope visibly attracts to charged objects
• Conductors allow current flow through them easily.
• A condenser is a component used to store electrical energy.
• Electrons are subatomic particles
• Electrons are able to move freely between atoms
• Protons are found in the nucleus
• Protons are not able to move between atoms
