Page 12: Static Electricity

  • Definition:

    • The buildup of electrical charges on an object.

    • Occurs through electron transfer from one object to another.


Page 13: Electric Discharge

  • Definition:

    • Loss of static electricity as charges move off an object.

  • Types of Discharge:

    • Within Cloud: Charge transfer between negative base and positive top (intra-cloud).

    • Cloud-to-Cloud: Discharge between charge centers in clouds.

    • Typical Cloud-to-Ground Lightning: Discharge between ground and negative charge centers.


Page 14: Particles and Charge

  • Subatomic Particles:

    • Mass and Charge:

      • Protons: Mass present, Positive Charge (+)

      • Neutrons: Mass present, No Charge

      • Electrons: Negligible mass, Negative Charge (-)

  • Charge:

    • Charge symbol: q

    • SI Unit: Coulomb (C)


Page 15: Quantization of Charge

  • Example 1:

    • To have a charge of 1.0 C, how many electrons must be removed?

  • Example 2:

    • Rubbing a comb on hair gives a comb charge of -0.96 C: (a) Identify which material loses and gains electrons.(b) Calculate the number of electrons transferred.

  • Concept:

    • Charge is quantized; it must be integral multiples of the fundamental charge (e).

    • 1 C = 6.242 x 10^18 electrons.


Page 16: Charging Mechanisms

  • Positive Charge:

    • Object becomes positively charged if it loses electrons.

  • Neutrality:

    • All objects start neutral and may become either positively or negatively charged.

  • Negative Charge:

    • Object becomes negatively charged if it gains electrons.


Page 17: Laws of Electric Charge

  • Law of Electric Charge:

    • Like charges repel; unlike charges attract.

  • Law of Conservation of Charge:

    • Charges cannot be created or destroyed.


Page 18: Methods of Charging Objects

  • Ways to Charge:

    • Conduction

    • Friction

    • Induction


Page 19: Charging by Friction

  • Definition:

    • Rubbing two objects causes electrons to transfer ("wiped").

    • Leads to electrostatic discharge.


Page 20: Triboelectric Series

  • Definition:

    • List of materials ranked by their tendency to gain or lose electrons.

  • Conductors vs Insulators:

    • Top items lose electrons (positive); bottom items gain electrons (negative).


Page 21: Example of Triboelectric Effect

  • Example:

    • Rubbing dry hands with silk:

    • Dry hands lose electrons (positively charged).

    • Silk gains electrons (negatively charged).


Page 22: Charging by Conduction

  • Definition:

    • Transfer of electrons through direct contact.

  • Example:

    • Negatively charged cylindrical rod touches a neutral spherical conductor, charging it by conduction.


Page 23: Electroscope

  • Function:

    • Determines if an object is electrically charged.

  • Components:

    • Knob, metal rod, metal leaves within a flask.

  • Indications:

    • Charged objects cause leaves to repel.


Page 24: Charging by Induction

  • Definition:

    • Rearrangement of charges in an uncharged object without direct contact with a charged object.


Page 25: Polarization

  • Definition:

    • Process by which a neutral body becomes polarized through molecular rearrangement.

  • Concept of Electric Dipole:

    • A body with a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the other (dipole).


Page 26: Practical Observation

  • Observation:

    • Cords coming from walls made with plastics and metals (insulators and conductors).


Page 27: Conductors and Insulators

  • Conductors:

    • Allow easy flow of charge

    • Examples: Silver, copper, gold, aluminum

  • Insulators:

    • Do not allow flow of electrons

    • Examples: Plastic, rubber, glass, wood, air

  • Semi-conductors:

    • Conduct better than insulators but not as well as conductors

    • Examples: Silicon, germanium
