Static Electricity History of charged particles – 1900’s Electrons(-) in shells Protons(+) in nucleus Neutrons(0) in nucleus
3
Static Electricity The SI unit for electric charge is the coulomb: C Electrons carry the smallest possible negative charge. The charge on one electron -e is 1.60x10 -19 C Protons carry the smallest possible negative charge. The charge on one proton +e is 1.60x10 -19 C
4
Static Electricity An object may be charged by rubbing it by another object. Only electrons may be lost or gained by a rubbed object. If the atom loses electrons, it will become____ If the atom gains electrons, it will become ____
5
Static Electricity Protons are never transferred!!! Charges are never created nor destroyed. = Law of Conservation of Charge
6
Rubbing to lose/gain e- – Rub a glass rod with silk – the silk gains -e and the glass loses -e – Rub a rubber rod with fur – the fur loses -e and the rod gains -e – They will be oppositely charged and therefore attract each other.

Charging by Contact
9
Conductors – electrons are easily transferred (ex: metals – Ag, Au, Cu) Insulators – electrons do not move easily from one location to another – (ex: wood, plastic, air)

12
Conduction If two objects touch, they will have the same charge and REPEL (unless they were neutral) Like charges REPEL Demo- Rub balloon in your hair!
13
The Law of Electrostatics LIKES REPEL OPPOSITES ATTRACT
16
Demos 1. Paper & Golf Tube 2. Golf Tube & 2” x 4” x 8’ 3. Balloon on the Wall
17
Conduction is just like sharing To charge an object by touching it with another charged object. The second object shares the charge and is always the same charge as the first object. Examples of sharing Charging by Conduction
18
-100 A) Both 0 B) Both –10 C) Both –5 D) Both +5 IC
19
-100 -5
20
+100 IC In which direction do the electrons move A) Left B) Right C) Neither D) Both
21
+100 + 5
22
-10-14 IC
23
-10-14 -12
24
+10+14 IC Which sphere is more negative and in which direction do the electrons flow? A)right, rightB) right, left C) left, rightD) left, left
25
+10+14 +12
26
+10-14 IC IC Final Charge after sharing is A)–24B) –12 C) –2D) +2
27
+10-14 -2
28
-10 0 Sharing when objects are not the same size.

30
Grounding Sharing charge between an extremely large object, like the EARTH, and a small object is called grounding. All the charge winds up in the earth and no charge is on the small object.
31
Induction Charging by induction – Case #1 - bring a negative object near – Case #2 - bring a positive object near
