PHYS 101-2 STUDY GUIDE
1. The study of stationary or resting charges. ____________________________ 2. ________________________ is a connection made to Earth. 3. ________________________ is the process by which electrons are added or removed from a body. 4. List the three modes of electrification. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5. This occurs when two objects touch, permitting electrons to move from one body to the other. ______________________________________________________________________________ 6. ____________________________________________________ occurs when an uncharged metallic object experiences a shift of electrons when brought into the electric field of a charged object. 7. This is the transfer of electrons from one object to another by rubbing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 8. Name the Laws of Electrostatics. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 9. This law states that charges will reside on the external surface of conductors. ______________________________________________________________________________ 10. The ___________________________________________________ states that like charges will repel while unlike charges will attract each other. 11. The ___________________________________________________ states that the greatest concentration of charge is on the surface where the curvature is the greatest. 12. This law states that the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of their magnitude and inversely proportional to the square of
