Questions and Answers

What is static electricity?

Study of electric charges that can be collected and held in one place

What are neutrals in terms of atoms?

Objects that contain an equal number of protons and electrons

Define electric charge.

Fundamental property of matter that allows particles to react to electromagnetic fields

How do insulators differ from conductors?

<p>Insulators lack conduction electrons, making charge flow difficult, while conductors have free electrons that allow electricity flow</p> Signup and view all the answers
