No, that statement is incorrect. The accumulation of electric charges on an item is known as static electricity, not magnetism.

Accumulation of electric charges on an object is called what?

The accumulation of electric charges on an object is called static electricity. This occurs when the charges build up on the surface of the object due to various causes such as friction or induction.


What property of matter gives rise to both electricity and magnetism?

Electric charge is the property of matter that gives rise to both electricity and magnetism.


What are charged particles that move in liquids to create electric current called?

Charged particles that move in liquids to create electric current are called ions.


What is the region surrounding a charged object in which other objects are attracted or repelled by an electric force called?

Electromagnetic field. An electric field.


explain how magnetism as a force?

Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. Magnetism is caused by the motion of electric charges. Every substance is made up of tiny units called atoms. Each atom has electrons, particles that carry electric charges


What is the area that surrounds an electric charged called?

The area that surrounds an electric charge is called an electric field. It exerts a force on other charged objects in the vicinity, either attracting or repelling them depending on their charge.


What is the area surrounding a charged object?

The area surrounding a charged object where the influence of its electric field can be felt is called the electric field. The electric field exists in the space around the charged object and affects other charged objects within its vicinity.


What region around a charged object is an electric?

The region around a charged object where electric forces are exerted on other charged objects is called an electric field. Electric fields emanate outward from positive charges and inward towards negative charges. The strength of the electric field decreases with distance from the charged object.


What is the build up of electric charged called?

Static


What is the region around a charged object where the object and the electric force interacts with other charged objects called?

The region around a charged object where the object's electric field interacts with other charged objects is called the electric field or the influence region. This region determines the force that a test charge will experience if placed within it.


How are electricity and magnetism alike?

Maxwell described that electricity and magnetism cannot be separated. If you examine maxwell's equations you can see that a moving electric charge will produce an electric field. You can also see that a magnetic field that changes in time can produce an electric field. Maxwell also predicted that an electric and magnetic field can propagate infinitely together- this is called a wave (otherwise known as light, x-rays, microwaves, etc...).
