Static Electricity
Proton-✔✔Positively charged particle in the nucleus of an atom
Neutron-✔✔A subatomic particle that has no charge and that is found in
the nucleus of an atom
Electron-✔✔A subatomic particle that has a negative charge
Electric discharge-✔✔the loss of static electricity as charges move off an
object
Static electricity-✔✔the build up of electric charge on an object
Electric field-✔✔the space around a charged object in which another
charged object experiences an electric force
Charging by induction-✔✔the rearrangement of electrons on a neutral
object caused by a nearby charged object
Charging by conduction-✔✔type of charging where charge is transferred
from a charged object to an uncharged object by touching them together
Charging by Friction-✔✔type of charging where charge is transferred
when two objects are rubbed together
Nucleus-✔✔the center of an atom, which contains the protons and
neutrons
Matter-✔✔Anything that has mass and takes up space
Atom-✔✔Building block of matter, smallest particle of an element
Element-✔✔A pure substance made of only one kind of atom
