III. Learning Tasks:

ELICIT (5 minutes) MATERIALS/ASSESSMENT TOOLS

Sticking Paper Activity (Demonstration)

- The teacher will call a pair of volunteers to demonstrate this Balloon, paper, pair of scissors, comb
activity in class.
- On the table are small strips of paper. 1 student volunteer will
rub the inflated balloon on his/hair for a minute. The other
volunteer may use a comb to rub/run along the hair. After
this, slowly bring the balloon/comb to the strips of paper. Hold
it still until the papers no longer stick to the balloon/comb. Let
the students observe. Answers may vary on question #1.

Guide Questions: - Rubbing the materials (balloon/comb)

1. What happened to the strips of paper when the rubbed
balloon is drawn near to the strips of paper?
2. What do you think is the reason why this happened?
on your hair moved electrons from your
hair to the comb. The comb had a
negative static charge. The neutrally
charged strips of paper were attracted to
it. When they touched, electrons slowly
moved from the comb to the strips of
paper.

o What is the relationship between charge and current?

Key Concepts:
 Charge is an electrical property of the atomic particles of which matter
consists, measured in coulombs (C). 1C= 6.3 X 1018 electrons
 The movement of this charge around a circuit is called electric current,
or simply current.
 Electric current (or simply current) is a measure of the number of
electrical charges passing through a cross-section of a conductor in a
given time.
 The current is simply the ratio of the quantity of charge and time.
 Current (I) = charge (Q) where: Q in Coulumbs, C
time (t) t in seconds, s

 The unit for current is Ampere (A).

 The current and charge both are interrelated to each other. The static
particle has charge and the movement of charges is known as the
current.

Reading Activity: Current and Charge

The charge is the fundamental property of particles (ion, atom and molecules) which allows them to attract and
repulse with each other when it is placed in an electrical field. The charge on the particles is of three types
positive, negative and neutral. The positive charge particle is known as a proton and the negative charge particle
is known as the electron. The particle which has an equal number of negative and positive charges is known as the
neutrons. The charge is measured in coulombs. The one proton has 1.602X10-19 Coulombs of charges and
one electron is equal to - 1.602X10-19 Coulombs. The charge particle experience forces when it is placed in
an electromagnetic field. The like charge particle repulses each other and the opposite charge particle attracts
each other. (adapted from https://circuitglobe.com/difference- between-charge-and-current.html)
