What would life be like without electricity? Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
3
Much different than it is for most of us.
5
Let’s do a quick review of the atom to help us understand electricity…

Electrons are negatively chargedElectrons are negatively charged Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

Electrons are negatively charged Protons (nucleus) are positively charged Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

10
Electrons are negatively charged Protons (nucleus) are positively charged Their charges are about equal Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
11
Electrons are negatively charged Protons (nucleus) are positively charged Add Electrons - Atom becomes more negatively charged (anion). Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

Electrons are negatively charged Protons (nucleus) are positively charged Take away (strip) electrons - the atom becomes more positively charged (cation). Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

Annoying Tape. –Teacher gives each student 2 long pieces (10 centimeters each) strips of clear tape. Make non-stick handles by folding a small amount tape on itself. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

Annoying Tape. –Teacher gives each student 2 long pieces (10 centimeters each) strips of clear tape. Make non-stick handles by folding a small amount tape on itself. –Stick one piece of tape to table. –Stick the other piece of tape on that tape. –Quickly pull tape from table and then apart. –Observe what happens to the tape when it gets close to each other and then eventually your arm. Try and dispose of in trash barrel by shaking the tape from your hand and not picking. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

What happened?
17
–When you removed the tape from the table you gave it an electrical charge. When you peeled the tape apart from each other, one piece of tape gained more of a charge than the other.

Annoying Tape. –Teacher gives each student 2 long pieces (10 centimeters each) strips of clear tape. Make non-stick handles by folding a small amount tape on itself. –Stick both pieces of tape to table. –Quickly pull tape from table. –Observe what happens to the tape when it gets close to each other and then eventually your arm. Try and dispose of in trash barrel by shaking the tape from your hand and not picking. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

What happened?
22
–Each piece of tape gained a negative charge when removed from the table. When they were brought close together they moved away from each other.

Conductor: Material that allows electric charges to move freelyMaterial that allows electric charges to move freely Metals are good conductorsMetals are good conductors Insulator: Material that does not allow electric charges to move freelyMaterial that does not allow electric charges to move freely Plastic is a good insulatorPlastic is a good insulator
45
Charging by Induction:Charging by Induction: Electrons in the object move away or towards another charged object is placed close to it
46
How do objects become charged? Charging by Contact: Electrons get passed from one object to the other when they touch
47
How do objects become charged? Charging by friction: Electrons get passed from one object to the other when they rub against one another

Activity- Bad Hair Day Demonstration. –Rub balloon all around your head. –Question: Why does this happen? Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
49
Answer! –Electrons from your body move into the balloon. –This gives you a positive charge. –Your hair is also positive. –Like charges repel so hair tries to get away from body. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

53
Static Electricity: the imbalance of electric charges either in or on a material.
54
forceCoulombs Law: Any two charged objects will create a force on each other. Opposite charges will produce an attractive force while similar charges will produce a repulsive force.
55
Coulombs Law: Any two charged objects will create a force on each other. Opposite charges will produce an attractive force while similar charges will produce a repulsive force.
59
–Coulombs Law: The greater the charges, the greater the force. (Direct relationship) The greater the distance between them, the smaller the force. (Inverse relationship)

61
The electric force at the atomic level is responsible for most of the everyday forces that we observe, such as the force of a spring and the force of friction.
62
Electric force doesn’t require objects touch. An electric field always exists in the space around a charged particle. Any other charged particle in that field will experience an electric force.
