Due to the possession of mass, gravitational attraction takes place between two bodies (governed by Newton's law of gravitation) and we have discussed it in the previous class. It has been found that there are two types of electric charges, Positive charge and negative charge. We can notice that while combing dry hair, the comb gets charged and can pick up small pieces of paper brought near it. The charge acquired by a glass rod rubbed with silk is by convention, called a positive charge and that on ebonite rod rubbed with wool is called a negative charge. Whenever two bodies are charged by rubbing, one gets positively charged and the other gets negatively charged. The following table gives the lst of certain rubbing pairs and respective charge separation.

This property of charge is called as law of conservation of charge, Other important properties and comparison of charge with mass is given in the following table (2). The unit of charge is Coulomb (C). Table - 2. Electric charge can be positive, Mass of a body is positive quantity. negative or zero.

Symbols of a coll and a battery ife are as shown in the figure eater, Materials that conduct electricity are called conductors and materials that do nat conduct electricity easily are called insulators, All metals conduct electricity and most solids that are non metals do not conduct electricity . How metals conduct In metals, each atom allows some of its outer most electrons to detach from it and move quite freely within the metal, After the detachment of electron from it, the atom becomes positively charged. Therefore, @ metal can be viewed as o collection of stationary positive charges and mobile electrons. When the potential difference is created across the metal, there is a flow of electrons and thus current develops, eC) When one or more electric elements such as cell switches or keys, wire: bulbs etc are connected to form a closed path for electrical charges to flow, we. get an electric circuit. A circuit is represented by a circuit diagram. The bulb, Lys cell, switch or key, etc are represented by their symbols, as shown below. e s 4 He aces ()Batery 0) Connecting em (v) Fixed resista Op Anroptet — to ues roman (1 Fie letace ¢ 8 Amin ® —@— —9— —@— (v) Variable resistance (vill) Ammeter (ix) Voltmeter (x) Galvanometer (or Rheostat) rf) + « J— ew A La {x lect Bulb An switch (xll) A closed switch o open pg key) (A closed plug key) Measuring Instruments in Electricity Electric current flowing in a wire is measured by sana eed eon et pal (4) — O- differences across two points ina circuit is thet tide “measured by an instrument called voltmeter, hdd qe td mmr tag These measuring instruments have two terminals, one ‘s postive terminal and the other is negative terminal ‘These terminals are used for connecting wires.

This is called as ohm’s law. The nit of resistance is ohm. 1 Ohm = 1 volt 1 Ampere. ‘The resistance of a wire is the property of the wire, which opposes the flow of current.

The metals and alloys have very low resistivity in the range of 10° m1 10° Om. They are good conductors of electricity, Insulators like rubber and glass have resistivity of the order of 10" to 10” fm. Both the resistance of a wire and resistivity of @ material vary with temperature. Resstvity of metals increases with increase in temperature. Obmn's Law, as discussed above, is true for even a small branch of a circuit. We can illustrate this by the following example. BBB C2
