Answer 1

1. In electricity, electric force is the attraction or repulsion between electric charges.

2. The buildup of charge on an object is called static electricity.

3. The law of conservation of charge states that charges are not created or destroyed. They are transferred.

4. The transfer of charge from one object to another by rubbing is called friction. The loss of static electricity as electric charges transfer from one object to another is called static discharge.

5. A(n) electric field is a region around a charged object where the object's electric force is exerted on other charged objects.

6-7 The transfer of electrons from one part of an object to another part, caused by the electric field of another object, without the two objects touching is called induction.

8-10. The transfer of charge when electron move from a charged object to another object by direct contact is called conduction.
