| 7673253159 | attract | opposite charges do this | 0 | |
| 7673253162 | charge | the fundamental electrical property to which the mutual attractions or repulsions between electrons or protons is attributed | 1 | |
| 7673253163 | charge by contact | where objects rub against each other to produce electric charge | 2 | |
| 7673253164 | charged by induction | process of rearranging electrons on a neutral object by bringing a charged object closed to it | 3 | |
| 7673253165 | charged | referring to matter having an excess of electrons or a deficiency of electrons | 4 | |
| 7673253166 | conductor | material, usually a metal, through which electric charge can flow; good conductors of heat are generally good charge conductors | 5 | |
| 7673253167 | conservation of charge | the principle that net electric charge is neither created nor destroyed but is transferable from one material to another | 6 | |
| 7673253168 | coulomb | SI unit of charge. One coulomb (symbol C) is equal to the total charge of 6.24 X 1018 electrons | 7 | |
| 7673253169 | coulomb's constant | value of k in Coulomb's Law. |  | 8 |
| 7673253170 | coulomb's law | the relationship among electrical force, charges, and distance; the electrical force between two charges varies directly as the product of the charges and inversely as the square of the distance between them | 9 | |
| 7673253171 | electric charge | charge obtained by an object when it gains or loses electrons | 10 | |
| 7673253172 | electric field | a field of force surrounding a charged particle | 11 | |
| 7673253173 | electric field lines | shows direction charged particles will move; direction is for positively charged particles; the closer the lines the stronger the electric field | 12 | |
| 7673253174 | electric field strength | a quantitative expression of the intensity of an electric field at a particular location | 13 | |
| 7673253175 | electrical force | a force that one charge exerts on another. When the charges are the same sign, they repel; when the charges are opposite, they attract | 14 | |
| 7673253176 | electrically polarized | term applied to an atom or molecule in which the charges are aligned so that one side is slightly more positive or negative than the opposite side | 15 | |
| 7673253177 | electrons | these have a negative charge and orbit the nucleus | 16 | |
| 7673253178 | electrostatics | the study of electric charges at rest | 17 | |
| 7673253179 | electrostatic equilibrium | that there is no net flow of electric charge or no electric current | 18 | |
| 7673253180 | equilibrium | a stable situation in which forces cancel one another | 19 | |
| 7673253181 | field force | force exerted upon another object without physical contact in an electric field | 20 | |
| 7673253182 | grounding | allowing charges to move freely along a connection between a conductor and the ground | 21 | |
| 7673253183 | induced | term applied to electric charge that has been redistributed on an object because of the presence of a charged object nearby | 22 | |
| 7673253184 | induction | the charging of an object without direct contact | 23 | |

| 7673253194 | quantized | comes in certain very small amounts | 33 | |
| 7673253195 | repel | two charged that are the same do this | 34 | |
