Charging by Friction: Rubbing two objects together
Remember: Charging an object can only occur by the transfer of electrons from one object to another. CHARGING BY FRICTION occurs when two objects are rubbed together In this example, both hair and comb start neutral but after being rubbed together the comb is neg and hair positively charged. When a charged object touches another object, electrons can be transferred between the objects. Electrons transfer from the object that has the more negative charge to the one that has the more positivecharge.

Balloon Demo

Example of Friction causing transfer of electrons between a balloon and sweater
Both items start relatively neutral Latex has a higher affinity for electrons than the sweater Rubbing allows electrons to be pulled off sweater to balloon, Leaving both objects with an imbalance of charge: Sweater “+”, balloon “-” Rubber has a much greater attraction for electrons than animal fur/hair/sweater. As a result, the atoms of rubber pull electrons from the atoms of animal fur, leaving both objects with an imbalance of charge.
5
Attraction Between Charges Objects and Neutral Objects
Neutral objects have an equal number of protons and electrons. Therefore, they have an equal number of positive and negative charges. When you bring a charged object near a neutral object, the electron in the neutral object do not come off. Instead, the positive and negative charges in the molecules of the object stretch apart from each other. Why charged balloon sticks to Neutral wall: the negative charges in the wall are pushed away from the surface by the negative charges on the balloon. Then the positive ends of the molecules in the wall are attracted to the negative charges of the balloon. These forces of attraction are strong enough to hold the balloon to the wall.
7
Electrostatic Series A list of materials that are more likely to attract a negative charge when friction is applied to them. What type of charge does rubber acquire when rubbed with a nylon cloth? What type of charge does the nylon cloth acquire? How does the size of the charge on the rubber compare to the size of the charge on the cloth?
8
Electroscope An electroscope detects static electricity by using thin metal or plastic leaves, which separate when charged. An object with a suspected static electric charge is brought near the metal plate or ball of the electroscope.

Charging By Conduction (Contact)
Charging by Conduction occurs when objects touch and an electric charge is transferred from one object to the other. Eg. Walk across a carpet and get a spark by touching a metal doorknob, yu are transferrig someof your charge to the doorbkow by conduction.
12
Charging by Induction Occurs when objects are charged WITHOUT TOUCHING. Eg. Build up of dust on TV or computer screen. When screen is turned on, it begins to buld up a charge. When a neutral dust particle coes near the screen, the screen induces an opposite charge onteh near side of the dust particle and a similar charge on the far side. The dust is attracted tot the screem.

Insulators and Conductors
Material that do not let electrons move through them easily are called insulators. (glass, air, plastic, rubber, and wood.) Material that do let electrons move through them easily are called conductors (copper, aluminum, gold, and silver). Grounding.
16
Induced Separation of Charge
When negatively charged object is brought to neutral electroscope the electroscope becomes charged and the two leaves separate. (induced separation of charge) . Remove charged object and leaves will return to normal
17
Grounding To ensure electroscope is neutral, it needs to have all the excess charges removed, or discharged. This is done by grounding the object. A grounded object is connected directly to Earth by a conductor . An electroscope containing conducting metal but holds a static charge. Why? An electroscope containing conducting metal but holds a static charge because it is not in direct contat with its surroundinsg.
18
Isolating Charges: Faraday Cage
A Faraday Cage is a grounded metal screen surrounding a piece of equipment to exclude electrostatic influences. Car is the safest place in a lightning storm. Cell phones don’t work well in elevators. Car radio in tunnels.
19
Attracting Charges: Lightning Rod
Pointed to receive a greater concentration of charge. Received concentrated positive charge if a negatively charge cloud is above the building.
20
Electrostatic Force Electrostatic Force is the attraction or repulsion of objects due to their electric charge A force is a push or pull acting on an object, measured in newtons (N) If force is unbalanced, it can cause an object to move. An electrostatic force is the force that exists between static charges. It can either pull the static charges together (force of attraction) or push static charges apart (force of repulsion). Roll pop can
21
Electric Force Depends on:
Type of charge on the objects (positive, negative, neutral) Amount of charge on the objects Distance between objects The stronger the charge on objects, the stronger the electric force. As distance increases, electric force decreases.
22
Van de Graaff Allows you to see how like charges repel and opposite charge attract Use to investigate factors that affect the strength of the electric force.
23
Van de Graaff generator
Generates very high electric charge. Motor turns rubber belt Charge comb picks up negative charges from belt Belt transfers charge to dome An electrostatic generator Used to research static electricity and to make static charges available for experimentation
24
Van de Graaf Generator, Activity p286
Safety Always stand on insulated surface Discharge dome often with grounding rod Wait for dome to be grounded and belt to be turned off before taking hands off Answer questions p #1,2,7,9
25
Van de Graaf Generator What is it? How does it work?
Produces very large electric charges Electric force is force that exists between static charges (can either attract or repel objects) How does it work? Motor turn rubber belt Charge comb picks up negative charges from belt Transfer charge to dome
26
Van de Graaff As the charge builds up on the dome, the electric force between the dome and the discharge ball increases. DIRECT RELATIONSHIP: as the electric force increase as the charge increases. However, as distance decreases, the electric force increases (INVERSE RELATIONSHIP)
27
Coulomb’s Law Charles Coulomb recognized the relationships between electric force, size of charge and distance Coulomb’s Law: the strength of the electric force increases with increasing electric charges and decreases with increasing distance. Size of electric charge measured in coulombs (C)

35
Charging by Conduction - Examples
an uncharged physics student stands on an insulating platform and touches a negatively charged Van de Graaff generator. he neutral physics student becomes charged as the result of contact with the Van de Graaff generator.
36
Charging by Induction Charging by Induction occurs when objects are charged without actually touching
37
Charging by Induction Example: build up of dust on the computer screen: When a computer is turned on, it begins to build up a charge When a neutral dust particle come near the scree, the screen induces a opposite charge on the near side of the dust particle and a similar charge on the far side. The dust is attracted to the screen
38
Charging by Induction Object is charged without actually touching any other charged object Bring a negatively charged rod near – but not touching- the sphere , the rod will repel the electrons in the sphere. The negative charges will move down the leaves and the leaves will repel each other. The sphere is left with a temporary positive charge If the negative rod is removed, the electrons will move back to the sphere and the sphere will become neutral again. Example: dust build up on TV or computer screen
39
Electroscope instrument that detects the presence of charge of an object. Needs to be grounded (by touching with fingers) between tests. It was the first electrical measuring instrument. Electrical charges move to the metal and down to the foil leaves, which then repel each other. Since each leaf has the same charge (positive or negative), they repel each other. Charging Electroscope by Induction: Touch the electroscope and bring a charged rod close. If the charged rod is negative, electrons from the electroscope will flow onto your body. Now remove your hand and then move the charged rod away. The electroscope will be left with a deficit of electrons giving it a positive charge.
40
Why are neutral objects attracted to charged objects?
because the neutral objects are temporarily charged by induction. A negatively charged balloon sticks to a neutral wall because the balloon’s negative charges repel the wall’s negative charges. A positive charge is induced on the surface of the wall the negative balloon is attracted to the positive wall surface.
