Flashcards on Physics - Electric Charge

Click on the flashcard to see the answer


What is electric charge?

Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.

What is the unit of electric charge?

The unit of electric charge is Coulomb (C).

What are the two types of electric charges?

The two types of electric charges are positive and negative.

What is the law of conservation of charge?

The law of conservation of charge states that charge can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transferred from one system to another.

What is an electric field?

An electric field is a region around a charged particle or object within which a force would be exerted on other charged particles or objects.

What is Coulomb's Law?

Coulomb's Law states that the force between two electric charges is proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

What is electric potential energy?

Electric potential energy is the potential energy that an electric charge has due to its position in an electric field.

What is electric potential?

Electric potential is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge that a point in an electric field has.

What is electric current?

Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge.

What is Ohm's Law?

Ohm's Law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.

What is resistance?

Resistance is the measure of how much a component resists the passage of electrical current.

What is the unit of resistance?

The unit of resistance is Ohm (Ω).

What is an electric circuit?

An electric circuit is a path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow.

What are the three components of an electric circuit?

The three components of an electric circuit are a source of electricity, a load, and a conductor.

What is a series circuit?

A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are connected in a single loop, so the current has only one path to take.
