What’s New

Activity 1.1 How has electricity changes the ways you live?

How has electricity changed the way of life in your community? Ask grandparents/parents what
transformations occurred since electrical energy was made available in your community. Compare
and contrast your lifestyle of the people when electricity was not used in your community. Write 3-5
sentences about this.
 Electricity makes our work easier and faster. When my grandparents were teenagers, there were
no lights, no appliances, and no other machines. For illumination and other purposes, my
grandparents use only a lamp or coconut leaves. Electricity had not yet been discovered at the
time, and only the wealthy had the ability to have it. But now, in our age, we have electricity in our
homes, which we need because it allows us to operate machines more quickly. We are fortunate
that our generation now has access to electricity.

Activity 1.2 A Simple Charging Experience

What will you need

∙ A piece of bond paper

∙ Plastic ballpen case

What to do

1. Cut the piece of bond paper into several small pieces (bits) and lay them on a wooden table.
What do you think is the charge of these bits of paper?
Since the pieces of paper were only sliced into tiny parts, I think they are
uncharged. 2. Get the plastic ballpen case and rub it against your hair or silk clothes.
Which do you think has greater electron affinity, the ballpen or your hair? What becomes of
the charge of each after rubbing?
The electron infinity of the plastic ballpen case is higher. After rubbing against my
hair, it became positively charged.
3. Now, place the ballpen near the laid bits of paper. What do you observe? What happened to
the bits of paper?

I found that the negative charge of the ballpen was drawn to the positively charged bits of
paper as I put it near them.

What’s More

Answer the problems below.

1. Two small conducting and identical spheres A and B have charges -25nC and 15nC,
respectively. They are separated by a distance of 0.02m. (a) What is the magnitude of the
electric force between the two spheres? Is this force attractive or repulsive? (b) The spheres
are then allowed to touch each other and then separated. What is the magnitude of the force
between the two spheres? Is this a repulsive force or an attractive force?
Solution:
 2. Two particles A and B are released from rest, having equal charges of -5 ×10 -4 Na initially
separated from each other by 0.25m. the masses of particles A and B are 5.25 ×10 -6 kg
and
3.75 ×10 -6 kg respectively. Find the magnitude of the initial accelerations of particles A
and B.

3. A neutral metal sphere is touched by a negatively charged metal rod. As a result, the
sphere will be negatively charged and the metal rod will be negatively charged.
4. A neutral metal sphere is touched by a negatively charged metal rod. During the
process, electrons are transferred from the charged rod to the neutral sphere and the
sphere acquires a negative charge.
5. The human hair is combed using a comb. What charge is acquired by the hair and by
the comb?
When the comb was used to comb the scalp, it became positively charged. The
comb, on the other hand, takes on a negative charge.
6. When a glass is rubbed with a silk cloth, the rod acquires a charge of magnitude 3.45
nC. (a) Did the glass rod gain or lose electrons?(b) How many electrons were
transferred during the process?(c) What is the change in the mass of the glass rod? (d)
What is the change in the mass of the silk cloth?
(a) The rod loses electrons to obtain positive charge.
(b)Number of electrons = total charge / charge of 1e
