STATIC ELECTRICITY
Date: __________
ATOMIC THEORY
 All matter is _____________________________________________
 Atoms are composed of ____________________and _________________________
 Every object carries an __________________________________________________ is said
to have an equal charge
CHARGE
LOCATION
MOTION
Protons
Electrons
Neutrons
STATIC ELECTRICITY:
-
occurs mostly in ________________
-
is a ______________ ______________
-
is caused by ________________ being ________________ from their atoms protons
-
occurs when two insulators ________________
-
________________ (________________) helps increase the contact area, but it is not the cause
-
static has little to do with remaining stationary because the electrons are ________________!!
-
the _________________________________________________, they are locked in the nucleus
CHARGES:

net ________________ charge: when there are ______________ electrons than protons

net ________________ charge: when there are __________ electrons than protons
Law of Conservation of Electric Charge:
- for every region of negative charge, there is an ________________ region of positive charge.

Conductors:
-
materials whose atoms hold on to their electrons _____________________
-
this means they contain __________________________________
-
electrons in metals _____________ stuck to individual metal atoms
Insulators:

materials whose atoms hold on to their electrons _____________________
-
they contain ________________________________
-
electrons in nonmetals _______ stuck to individual atoms
Law of Electrostatic: (Law of Attraction and Repulsion)

says: like charges ___________, unlike charges ________________

charged objects attract neutral objects
What happens when these charges meet?
-
negative and negative _____________ negative and positive ______________
-
negative and neutral
____________
positive and positive
-
positive and neutral
____________
neutral and neutral
