Lesson Objective Electrostatics‐2
By the end of the lesson you should be able to….
D: identifying the everyday life examples as cases of
static electricity
C: describe that static electricity is generated by the
difference in charges and by the movement of
electrons.
B: briefly explaining the common scenarios of getting
electric shock from trolley or door handles.
Skills
A: Analysing and linking the fire incident at petrol
station and lightning to the electrostatics.
A*: synthesising the phenomenon of lightning by
using the concept of electrostatics.

Task 2:Arrange the sentences as a group in order to produce a spark.
Use only NUMBERS in the column in your worksheet!
1By losing/gaining, generates a potential difference, results in the
. movement of electrons to a + charged substance when touching
another substance free electrons it will cause an electric shock.
2.Rubbing an insulator material to another insulator or conductors
result in creating temporary charges, resulting electron movement.
3.The bigger the potential difference, the bigger the spark.
4.When an atom lose electrons, it gets a positive charge and when
gains, gets a negative charge.
5.Atom is neutral because of equal number of protons and
electrons in an atom.
6.This results in the accumulation of charge on the surface called
static electricity.
7.When you walk across a nylon carpet, you become positively
charged, then when you touch a metal door handle you receive a
shock because electrons jump from handle to you.
8.Electron revolve in the shells and can move away if they get a
chance.

Ouch!
Static Electricity
Shocking Shopping Trolley
e‐ e‐ e‐ e‐

So when you grab a shopping cart you may get a little shock
as the extra electrons that you have been carrying around all
day – discharge (jump) to the shopping trolley as you get
close to it. Shopping cart excellent conductor!
Task 3
Watch the following video first!
Then YOU will READ quietly numbers 1‐6, the *storyline and
understand exactly what happened. If time allows then also
explain briefly in your worksheet or to your neighbor what
happened. NOW video!

ANSWERS: missing words/sentences:
1. Hot air rises, collide with the water molecule in air, split them
resulting in charged particles.
2. Electrons collect at the bottom of the clouds.
3. This results in building up of positive particles on earth by
pushing the negative particles away. Also the gathering of positive
particles higher up in clouds too.
4. The opposite charges attract each other, resulting in spark and
lightning.
5. There could be lightning between the earth and clouds or
between clouds and clouds.
Use the words as many time as you need to:
Positive; negative, opposite; earth; clouds

Static Electricity Some Clever Applications
The spray gun is charged positively, which causes every paint particle to become positively
charged. Like charges repel and the paint particles spread out. The object to be painted is
given a negative charge and so attracts the paint particles. The advantages of using this
system are that less paint is wasted, the object receives an even coat and the paint covers
awkward ‘shadow’ surfaces that the operator cannot see. OR VICE VERSA.
