What is electricity?
The interaction between electrical charges
What is the region around a charged object where the objects electric force is exerted on other charged objects
called?
Electric field
Charging by ______________ is when a charged object is brought near but not touched to a neutral conducting object. The
presence of a charged object near a neutral conductor will force (or induce) electrons within the conductor to move.
Induction
Charging by ______________ is when in other materials, like paper, electrons move only within their own atoms. The
electrons react to electric fields, resulting in individual atoms having charged ends that are attracted to charged
objects.
Polarization
