1
Electricity and Magnetism
Chapter 5
2
Static Electricity The build up of electrons( negative charge) on objects Protons-positive charge Electrons-negative charge
3
Negatively Charged An object has a negative charge when it has more electrons than protons An object that is positively charged has more protons than electrons
5
Static Electricity & Balloons
Electrons are transferred from your hair to the balloon Now the balloon has a ____________ charge
7
Charge Induction The rearrangement of charges
8
Static Electric Discharge
Occurs when “extra” electrons in a negatively-charged object “jump” through the air into another object
9
Magnetism Magnet: a piece of metal that can attract, or pull, other metals Magnetism: the force that magnets use to pull other metals
10
Magnetic materials: materials that are attracted to magnets
Non-magnetic materials: materials that are not attracted to magnets
12
Electroscope
15
Magnetic Field The region in which a magnet’s “pull” can be felt by magnetic materials
18
Induced magnetism: the type of magnetism that magnetic materials have when they are in contact with a magnet
19
Activity In how many paperclips can you create an induced magnetism?
21
Electric Field The region in which the push or a pull of an electron or a proton can be felt by other particles
22
Electric Field between a proton & an electron
23
Electric Field between 2 protons
24
Electric Field between 2 electrons
25
Electric Current Flow of millions of electrons through an electric wire Electrons flow towards positive charge
26
Electrical Potential Difference
The difference in charge between two materials For example, one material may be positive & the other negative. There is a difference in their charges.
27
Measuring Electricity
Coulomb Ampere Volt Watt
28
Coulomb Coulomb: equals the charge of six quintillion electrons
Named after Charles Coulomb
29
Ampere Ampere: a unit that tells us how many
electrons are going past a certain point every second 1 ampere= 1 Coulomb per second Named after Andre Ampere
30
Volt Measures the strength of the “push” that a generator or battery gives to an electric current Named after Alessandro Volta
31
Watt Measures how much electrical power an appliance uses
Named after James Watt
33
Circuit Path for electrons to travel
34
2 types of circuit Series parallel
