A certain amount of energy that is needed to make a given process occur, symbol E
Activation energy
1 of 9
A conserved property of the same elementary particles which causes them to exert forces upon each other
Charge
2 of 9
The mean velocity of charge carriers in a conductor carrying an electrical current
Drift velocity
3 of 9
The ‘push’ or ‘pull’ acting on an object associated with a change in momentum = Δp/Δt (Newton’s second law)
Force
4 of 9
A material that conducts energy poorly on account of having very few charges which are free to move
Insulator
5 of 9
The difference between the mass of the nucleus and the mass of the same number of protons and neutrons, this difference is equivalent to the binding energy of the nucleus
Mass defect
