Unit 6 Blog Reflection

Charges:

  • opposite charges attract
  • like charges repel
    • Three Ways to Charge an Object
      • Contact
      • Friction (steals electrons)
      • Induction (charge without electrons)
Polarization:
  • Coulomb's Law: the force between any two charges is inversely proportional to the distance
  • Conductors: allows charges to move throughout an object
  • Insulators: stop charges from passing through the object
(In the picture, you see the opposite charges attracting through polarization)
This process happens because:
  • Opposite charges attract this a negative charged balloon attracts to the positive wall which enables it to now stick on the wall. It's all about the spreading of charges. 
Voltage:
  • Voltage is the charge difference over a unit of charge which is also known as the potential difference
