Basically… ! Oppositely charged particles ______each
other – Ex:
! Particles with the same charge ____each other – Ex:
Continued…..
! Particles with neutral charge ___ ______ interact – Neutrons do not attract or repel each other – Neutrons do not attract or repel electrons
or protons
In the real world, we rarely deal with individual charged particles ! Everyday objects are made of lots of
atoms ! Most atoms have an equal number of
protons and electrons ! Therefore, atoms are neutral
– Remember, even though atoms are neutral, they are still made of charges

greater quantity of positive charge than negative charge
! A _________ charged object has a greater quantity of negative charge than positive charge

tapes after you charged them and why?
• Explain different combinations of interaction and why.
What does it mean for an object to be polarized? ! When an object is polarized, its charges
have shifted so that one side of the object has a net _______ charge and the other side of the object has a net ________ charge.
! A polarized object might be neutral (no net charge) or have a net charge.
Electrons move, Protons don’t!

polarization occurs. ! Explain how polarization occurred in
each station. DRAW a before and After Picture to demonstration polarization.

So, a charged sock can stick to my shirt… Does that mean that my shirt is charged?
! ______________________ ! Remember that a neutral object is made
up of __________ positively and negatively charged particles.
! A charged object (positive or negative) will be attracted to a neutral object. – We’ll discuss exactly why later…

Do Now: What do you have to do to make an object positively charged? What do you have to do to make an object negatively charged?
So what is happening when you rub a balloon on your head and it becomes charged? Is friction creating charge? ! No! Charge cannot be
created or destroyed. – Conservation of Charge
! Charges are being exchanged…
Conductors vs. Insulators
! Conductors: – Loosely bound
electrons – Allow the flow of
electrons – Examples: metals
! Insulators: – Tightly bound
electrons – Slow the flow of
electric charge – Examples:
rubber, plastic, and styrofoam

There are 3 Charging Methods
! Objects can be charged by – Conduction – Induction – Friction (triboelectricity)
Conduction ! Requires the objects to be in contact
(or close enough for a spark) ! Electrons are exchanged ! Works best from conductor to conductor
Positively Charged
Neutral (equal numbers of + and – charges)
• When the objects touch (or get really close) electrons move from one object onto the other

Positively Charged
Neutral (equal numbers of + and – charges)
• When the objects touch (or get really close) electrons move from one object onto the other • The two objects share the charge equally
Charging by Conduction Suppose you have two identical metal spheres, imaginatively
named A and B. Each sphere is on an insulating stand. Originally, A has 10 units of charge, and B is neutral. If the two
spheres are briefly touched together, then separated, what is the charge on each?
A. A has 10 units, B has zero. B. B has 10 units, A has zero. C. A has 10 units, and B also has 10 units. D. A and B each have 5 units. E. A and B each have zero charge.
Induction ! A charged object charges a neutral conductor
without contact ! The conductor does make contact with a
neutral object (often the ground) ! The conductor ends up with a charge opposite
that of the charged object brought near

Positively Charged
Neutral (equal numbers of + and – charges)
• As the positive object moves toward the neutral one, the positive object attracts the electrons in the neutral one.!
Positively Charged
Neutral (equal numbers of + and – charges)
• As the positive object moves toward the neutral one, the positive object attracts the electrons in the neutral one. • The positive object induced the electrons to move. • The neutral object is now polarized.
Positively Charged

• As the positive object moves toward the neutral one, the positive object attracts the electrons in the neutral one. • The positive object induced the electrons to move. • The neutral object is now polarized.

Charging by Induction Notice that we are
charging by induction, grounding the side of the sphere next to the positive object.
What will the final charge on the sphere be?
A. Positive B. Negative C. Neutral D. It depends
Triboelectric (friction)
! Two dissimilar materials are brought into contact and charge is exchanged
! The contact often involves friction
! Works best with insulators
Neutral: no charge

More on Triboelectricity
! Charge separation occurs when two insulators are rubbed together
! One of the insulators is more likely to grab electrons and the other insulator is more likely to donate electrons
! CHARGE IS NOT CREATED! Electrons are simply being transferred.

The Triboelectric Series
You rub a balloon against your hair, and the hair becomes positively charged. This means that
A. Electrons moved from the balloon to your hair.
B. Protons moved from the balloon to your hair. C. Protons moved from your hair to the balloon. D. Electrons moved from your hair to the
balloon. E. The rubbing destroyed electrons in your hair,
leaving it positive.

Neutralizing/Grounding Objects
! When a charged object comes in contact with a very large, neutral conductor, the object becomes neutralized.
! Earth itself is a large, neutral conductor, so it neutralizes charged objects quite well.
Review ! Charged objects exert forces:
Like repels like Opposites attract Charged objects and neutral objects attract
! How objects get charged or neutralized: Conduction Induction Triboelectric Grounding
Coulomb’s Law
! Two charged objects exert a force on each other.
! The magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the product of the quantities of charge.
! The magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the distance between the objects squared.

More Coulomb’s Law (We’ll come back to this later…)
!
Fe =kq1q2R2
k = constantq = quantity of chargeR = distance between the centers of the objects.
Consider two identical charged particles near each other as shown. The force exerted by
q1 on q2 points A. Left B. Right C. Up D. Down E. Nowhere; there is
no force.
Two air pucks each carry a charged sphere.
The sphere on the right carries three times as much charge as the sphere on the left.
Which force diagram correctly shows the direction and magnitude of the electrostatic forces?

What if one object is neutral?
A charged object will polarize a neutral (or weakly charged) object.

Illustrations of Polarization
Note that a neutral object and a charged object will attract each other.!
Three pith balls hang from threads…
Wait a minute! What’s a “pith ball”?
A pith ball is a small, light sphere coated with conductive material.
The coating allows it to be easily charged or grounded, and its small mass allows it to respond easily to small forces.
May we go on?
Three pith balls each hang from an insulating thread. ! PB 1 and PB 2 repel
each other. ! PB 2 and PB 3 repel
each other. Which of these
statements is true about the charges on the PBs?
A. 1 and 3 have charges of opposite sign.
B. 1 and 3 have charges of the same sign, 2 has opposite charge.
C. All three have charges of the same sign.
D. One of the objects carries no charge.
E. We need more data to determine the signs of the charges.
