- 1ElectrostaticsElectrostatics is the study of electrical charged objects.
charge cannot be created or destroyed.
Charge is transferred via electrons.
Insulators can be charged by friction.
Conductors can be charged by induction. - 2The unit of charge: Charges caused by friction are very small so we usually work in smaller units: milli coulomb: micro coulomb: nano coulomb: pico coulomb:The smallest quantity of charge is the charge on an electron.
the proton and electron have equal charges but of opposite sign.
Charge can only move from one object to another.flow from negative to positive. - 3When two charged objects are brought into contact, electrons will flow from where there are too many to where there are too few.conversions:
cm-m divide by 100
mm-m divide 1000
km-m multiply length by 1000
