The process of generating or acquiring an electric charge.
What are the two types of elettrizazione?
Static elettrizazione and dynamic elettrizazione.
What happens during static elettrizazione?
Electrons are transferred from one object to another, causing objects to become positively or negatively charged.
What is dynamic elettrizazione?
The movement of electric charges through conductors.
What is an electric charge?
A property of matter that can be positive or negative.
What is the SI unit of electric charge?
Coulomb
What is Coulomb's Law?
The force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
What is an insulator?
A material that does not allow electric charges to flow through it easily.
What is a conductor?
A material that allows electric charges to flow through it easily.
What is grounding?
Connecting an object to the Earth with a conductor to eliminate excess charge.
What is an electric field?
A region around a charged object where other charged objects experience a force.
What is electrostatic discharge?
The sudden flow of electricity between two charged objects due to a buildup of static electricity.
What is an electrically polarized object?
An object with an uneven distribution of electric charge.
What is the law of conservation of charge?
Charge can be transferred from object to object, but it cannot be created or destroyed.
What is electric potential energy?
The energy a charged object has due to its position relative to other charged objects.
