Charging by Friction
The electricity (i.e. transfer of electrons)
that is produced due to friction is called
frictional electricity.
When we rub two neutral objects, there will
be a transfer of electrons from one object
to the other due to structural modifications During charging by conduction, both

Sample Problem:
1. Given the figure below: Solution: Gauss’s law says that the total
electric flux through a closed surface is
equal to the total enclosed charge divided
by ε0.
In the figure, surface A encloses the posi-
tive charge, so
qencl = +q;
surface B encloses the negative charge, so
qencl = -q;
surface C encloses both charges, so
qencl = +q + (-q) = 0; and
surface D encloses no charges, so
qencl = 0.
Hence, we have
ΦA = +q/ε0,
ΦB = -q/ε0, and
ΦC = ΦD = 0.

surface A2 contains no charges inside, so
electric flux through A2 is zero.
(ii) In figure (b), the net charge inside the
cube ( a Gaussian surface) is 3q (+5q-2q)
and the total electric flux in the cube is
therefore Φ = 3q/ ε0 .
Note that the charge -10q lies outside the
cube and it will not contribute the total flux
through the surface of the cube.

The electric potential, or voltage, is Electric potential energy is the energy

an electric field. more energy to move a charge
further in the electric field, but also
more energy to move it through a
stronger electric field.
Potential Energy in a Uniform The more energy we have to put in, the
Electric Field more electrical potential energy the particle
would have.
Recall that we defined the electric field
about a point charge as The work done in moving the charge from A
to B is given by
E= F/q
WAB=Fd=qEd
From this equation, we can derive an
equation for the electrostatic force, F, as Since the work done is proportional to the
change in the potential energy, U, such that
F=qE
WAB=UA-UB= -UB- UA= -ΔU

proportional to the magnitude of the WAB = -ΔU=qEd
charge,q, and the intensity of the electric
field, E.
Electrostatic force, like the gravitational
force is a conservative force. It “ gives back
work that has been done against it.
Imagine that you have a huge negatively
charged plate, with a little positively
charged particle stuck to it through the
electric force. There’s an electric field
around the plate that’s pulling all positively
charged objects toward it (while pushing
other negatively charged objects away).
You take the positive particle, and start to
pull it off the plate, against the pull of the
electric field. It’s hard work, because the
electric force is pulling them together. If you
let the positive particle go, it would snap
back to the negative plate, pulled by the
