1. Magnetic and Electric Forces

2. Electric Charge and Forces
Unlike charges attract (+ and -)
Like charges repel (- and -) (+ and +)
The electric force depends on the charge and distance.
the electric force decreases as the distance between them increases.
as the amount of charge on either object increases, the electric force between objects also increases.

3. Electric Field
an electric charge is surrounded by an invisible, electric field that exerts a force on other electric charges.
every proton and electron is surrounded by an electric field.
The electric field around a positive charge points away from the charge.
The electric field around a negative charge points toward the charge.

4. Charging by Contact example:
the transfer of electric charge between objects in contact.
example:
As clothes tumble in a dryer, they rub against each other. Charging by contact occurs and electrons are transferred from one article of clothing to another. This can cause articles of clothing to stick together

5. Charging by Induction example:
the rearrangement of an electric charge due to the presence of an electric field.
example:
If you rub a balloon against your hair and then stick the balloon to the wall. The electric field around the balloon repels the electrons in the wall. The electrons are pulled away from their atoms. This causes the wall close to the balloon to become positively charged. Which is why the negatively charged balloon is attracted to the positively charged wall.

6. insulators- materials in which electric charges do not move easily.
The electrons are held by atoms tightly.
example: plastics, rubber, glass, and wood
conductors - materials in which electric charges can move easily.
The electrons are held loosely by atoms.
example: gold, silver, and copper
Electrons can move easily through copper, which is why it is widely used in electric wires.

7. static charge - the imbalance of an electric charge on an object.
example: if you walk across a carpet wearing shoes with rubber soles, charging by contact occurs.
Electrons are transferred from the atoms in the carpet to the atoms on the soles of your shoes.
When charging by contact occurs, the amount of positive and negative charge on each object is no longer balanced.
electric discharge - the movement of static charge from one place to another.
example: when you walk across a carpet and then touch a metal doorknob, you might feel an electric shock. There may be a spark. The spark is the electric discharge.
Can anyone think of another example?

8. The magnetic force between magnetic poles are attractive between unlike poles and repulsive between like poles.

9. Magnetic materials Iron Nickel
Paper clips (contains iron which is why it is magnetic)

10. Distance and Displacement
Distance is the length of a path between two points.
Displacement is the distance and direction between starting and ending points.
