Charging by Friction: the transfer of electrons between two different neutral objects when they are rubbed together charging by friction video

Charging by Contact – Friction Charging by Friction: the transfer of electrons between two different neutral objects when they are rubbed together -materials hold on to electrons with varying strengths

Charging by Contact – Friction Charging by Friction: the transfer of electrons between two different neutral objects when they are rubbed together -materials hold on to electrons with varying strengths How do we know which one will lose electrons and which one will gain electrons?

Charging by Contact – Friction Charging by Friction: the transfer of electrons between two different neutral objects when they are rubbed together Electrostatic Series: a list of materials arranged in order of their tendency to gain electrons

Electrostatic Series: a short list tendency to relative attract electronscharge highrubbernegative polyethylene ebonite silk fur wool glass lowacetatepositive

Using the electrostatic series: look up the two materials being rubbed together. The one higher on the series will become negative, the other will become positive tendency to relative attract electronscharge highrubbernegative polyethylene ebonite silk fur wool glass lowacetatepositive

Using the electrostatic series: look up the two materials being rubbed together. The one higher on the series will become negative, the other will become positive tendency to relative attract electronscharge highrubbernegative polyethylene ebonite silk fur wool glass lowacetatepositive e.g. ebonite rubbed with fur

Using the electrostatic series: look up the two materials being rubbed together. The one higher on the series will become negative, the other will become positive tendency to relative attract electronscharge highrubbernegative polyethylene ebonite silk fur wool glass lowacetatepositive e.g. ebonite rubbed with fur -ebonite becomes negative because it is further up on the series

Using the electrostatic series: look up the two materials being rubbed together. The one higher on the series will become negative, the other will become positive Try these:a) rubber rubbed with silk b) wool rubbed on glass c) polyethylene rubbed with glass

Using the electrostatic series: look up the two materials being rubbed together. The one higher on the series will become negative, the other will become positive Try these:a) rubber rubbed with silk rubber = negative silk = positive b) wool rubbed on glass c) polyethylene rubbed with glass

Using the electrostatic series: look up the two materials being rubbed together. The one higher on the series will become negative, the other will become positive Try these:a) rubber rubbed with silk rubber = negative silk = positive b) wool rubbed on glass wool = negative glass = positive c) polyethylene rubbed with glass

Using the electrostatic series: look up the two materials being rubbed together. The one higher on the series will become negative, the other will become positive Try these:a) rubber rubbed with silk rubber = negative silk = positive b) wool rubbed on glass wool = negative glass = positive c) polyethylene rubbed with glass polyethylene = negative glass = positive
