ACTIVITY: ELECTRIC CHARGE

The term electricity came from the Greek work “electron”, or amber. It is given the name
electricity by Sir Wilhelm Gilbert because amber had been the first substance known by the
ancients to exhibit electrification by rubbing. A plastic comb rubbed with a piece of fur can
attract little bits of paper. This ability to attract resembles that of a magnet. However, the
attraction of magnets is limited to objects made of iron, while amber attracts all substances.
This attractive force is known as electrostatic force.

Learning Competency with Code

Explain the role of electron transfer in electrostatic charging by rubbing STEM_GP12EM-IIIa-2

INSTRUCTION: In 3 or more sentences, give a brief description of each illustration about an

electric charge on the table below:

Interaction of Charges Description

When two materials rub against each other,
they will become electrically charged. The
material that gains electrons becomes
negatively charged, while on the other hand,
the material that loses electrons is left with a
positive charge. Hence, the two materials
get charged because of the friction
existence. For example, rubbing a glass rod
with a piece of silk, the silk holds onto the
electrons more strongly than the glass.
Electrons are ripped off of the glass and go
Charging by Rubbing on to the silk. The glass is now positive, and
the silk is negative.
It involves the contact of a charged object to
a neutral or uncharged one. The presence of
a charged object near a neutral conductor
will induce electrons within the conductor to
move. During this method, both objects
acquired the same type of charge. For
example, a positively charged aluminum
plate comes into contact with a neutral metal
sphere. The neural sphere becomes charged
as a result of touching the charged aluminum
plate.
Charging by Conduction

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times.

 This process is the opposite of charging by
conduction. The uncharged conductor is
brought closer to the charged conductor, but
it doesn't involve any physical contact. For
example, the buildup of dust on the screen of
a television or computer monitor. When a
computer monitor or television screen is
turned on, it begins to build up a charge.

Charging by Induction

The positive electric charge and negative

electric charge are opposite types of charge.
The interaction of these two different charges
results in the forces acting in the same
direction. A positively charged object will
attract a negatively charged object.
Oppositely charged objects will exert an
attractive influence upon each other.

Unlike Charges Attract

Two objects that are of like charge will repel

each other. The positively charged object will
exert a repulsive force upon a second
positively charged object. This repulsive
force will push the two objects apart. The
same as the negatively charged object will
exert a repulsive force upon a second
negatively charged object. Objects with like
charge repel each other.

Like Charges Repel

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times.
