PHYSICS - is a branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy.

SHORT HISTORY OF ELECTROSTATICS

As early 600 BC, Thales Miletus, the first person to observed the electrical phenomena. He
discovered that the piece of amber when rub with fur, could attract nearby objects. In 1600, William
Gilbert, found out that many other substances possess the same ability as that of amber when rubbed
against another substance. He called these substances electrics and this ability of amber electricity,
from the Greek word electron which means “amber.” Subsequently, it was shown that every object
acquires this ability to attract small pieces of matter after being rubbed against another object.

ELECTRIC CHARGE - is the basic property of matter carried by some elementary particles that
governs how the particles are affected by an electric or magnetic field.

TWO TYPES OF ELECTRIC CHARGE

Positive (+)
 loss of electrons
 has a charge of +e
Negative (-)
 gain of electrons
 has a charge of -e

B. Activity
1. Explain each question, before you begin writing, read the passage carefully and plans what you will
say. Your essay should be as well organized and as carefully written as you can make it.
1.1 What is the significance of electric charge?
1.2 What is the difference between proton and electron?

2. Draw the structure of an atom.

A. Concept Notes
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY

 is the ability of a material to conduct electricity

INSULATORS

 are materials that resist the flow of charges

 the conductivity of insulator is low

CONDUCTORS
 are materials that readily allow the flow of charges through them

SEMICONDUCTORS
 are intermediate between conductors and insulators
 Examples: Silicon, Germanium, Gallium Arsenic, etc.

SUPERCONDUCTORS
 offer practically no resistance to the flow of charges below some critical temperatures
 Examples: Aluminium, Gadolinium, Niobium, etc.

B. Activity
1. Put a check to the objects that you think will be a good conductor.
_____ soap _____ iron _____ metal
_____ copper wire _____ wood _____ aluminium

2. What is the difference between a semiconductor and a superconductor?
