January 10, About the course PHYSICS FOR ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS II IS HARD!! Everything builds on previous material. If you wait until exams to study you are doomed. Keep up with your homeworks and reading assignments. Study a lot! Ask for help if you need it.

January 10, What’s Going On? All of these effects involve rubbing two surfaces together. Or pulling two surfaces apart. Something is on each of these objects. We call this “something” CHARGE.
January 10, We have also observed that there must be TWO kinds of charge. Call these two types positive (+) negative(-) We “define” the charge that winds up on the rubber rod when rubbed by the dead cat to be NEGATIVE. The charge on the glass rod or the dead cat is defined as POSITIVE.

January 10, History 600 BC Thales of Miletos rubs amber (electron in Greek) with cat fur and uses it to pick up feathers. Important questions: Why was he doing this? Didn’t he have a job?? What happened to the skinned cat?
January 10, Amber Million years ago large stands of forests in some parts of the world began to seep globs of sticky resin! This aromatic resin oozed down the sides of trees, as well as filling internal fissures, trapping debris, such as seeds, leaves, feathers and insects. As geologic time progressed the forests were buried and the resin hardened into a soft, warm, golden gem, known as amber. Amber is the fossilized resin of ancient trees which forms through a natural polymerization of the original organic compounds. Most of the world's amber is in the range of million years old.Amber
January 10, What happens when two surfaces touch or rub? Bonding!
January 10, Example - Tape
January 10, When two of the following materials are rubbed together under ordinary circumstances, the top listed material becomes positively charged and the lower listed material becomes negatively charged. MORE POSITIVE rabbit's fur glass mica nylon wool cat's fur silk paper cotton wood acrylic cellophane tape polystyrene polyethylene rubber balloon saran wrap MORE NEGATIVE The Triboelectric Series No!
January 10, Summary - Rubbings
January 10, What have we found? There are TWO types of charge. Positive Negative Like Charges Attract Un-Like charges repel The force between charges increases as they are brought closer together. This charge separation results from chemical bonds which are severe in the pocess.
