3. Moving charges generate electrical energy, which changes
into sound, light, and heat energy.
5. A charged object does not affect an object that has no
charge.
6. The space around an electrically charged object is an
electric field.
7. An electric field gets weaker the closer you get to the
charged object.
8. A positive electric field repels a positively charged object.
Applying Strategies: Calculating
