The class will be divided into two to create a concept map about the topic.

What is Electrostatic?
The discusser will collect the paper before the reporting. If the information
written by the group is by any means included in the topic, it counts as a
point for the group.
Electrostatic
Definition

Electrostatics, the study of electromagnetic

phenomena that occur when there are no
moving charges.
No moving charges means static and electro- relating to electricity,
hence the term Electrostatic.

Also known as Static Electricity.

Static Electricity
Definition

This is where an electrostatic charge is generated and sits on the

surface of the material.
When at rest, static electricity is harmless and will remain in place
until it has a path through which it can flow.

To further understand, we must look at the smallest form of matter

otherwise known as atom.

 ATOMS
Definition

All physical objects are

made up of atoms. Inside
an atom are protons,
electrons and neutrons. n
The protons are positively
charged, the electrons
are negatively charged,
and the neutrons are
neutral.

 ATOMS
Definition

Most of the time positive

and negative charges are
balanced in an object, Electrons
which makes that object n
neutral.

Often referred to as
Neutral Charge. Protons Neutrons

How objects become positively charged and
negatively charged

The rubbing of certain materials

against one another can transfer
negative charges, or electrons.
Example:
“hair raising” experience

As you remove your hat, electrons

are transferred from hat to hair.

 Magnetism
Definition

Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they

attract or repel each other. Magnetism is caused by the
motion of electric charges.

Electrostatic Forces
Definition

Electrostatic forces are non-contact forces; they pull or push

on objects without touching them. Rubbing some materials
together can result in something called 'charge' being moved
from one surface to the other. Charged objects pull on other
uncharged objects and may either push or pull on other
charged objects.

Electrostatic Forces
Three Factors affecting Electrostatic Force

1. CHARGE
Friction
An object gets a charge when it is rubbed. This rubbing causes the
objects to gain or lose electrons. When it loses electrons it becomes
positively charged. When an object gains electrons it becomes
negatively charged.

Three Factors affecting Electrostatic Force

1. CHARGE
Friction Example
Running the comb through your hair, you’re causing it to get “charged”
up with static electricity. This creates a small amount of magnetic
activity.

Three Factors affecting Electrostatic Force

1. CHARGE
Conduction
Charging by conduction refers to the technique of charging an
uncharged material by bringing it into touch with some other charged
material.

Three Factors affecting Electrostatic Force

1. CHARGE
Conduction Example
In order to charge a neutral conductor by conduction, you must touch
that object with a charged object.

Electrostatic Forces
Three Factors affecting Electrostatic Force

1. CHARGE
Induction
This is a charging method that charges an object without actually
touching the object to any other charged object. The charging by
induction process is where the charged particle is held near an
uncharged conductive material that is grounded on a neutrally
charged material.

2. Distance between the objects

In electrostatics, the electrical force between two charged objects is
inversely related to the distance of separation between the two
objects. Increasing the separation distance between objects
decreases the force of attraction or repulsion between the objects.

3. Insulating material between them

Charge cannot flow along or through an insulator, so its electric forces
remain for long periods of time. (Charge will dissipate from an
insulator, given enough time.)
Example: Air

Electrostatic discharge

Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and

positive charges in an object. These charges can build up on the
surface of an object until they find a way to be released or discharged.

https://openpress.usask.ca/physics155/chapter/1-2-conductors-insulators-and-charging-by-induction
Electrostatic discharge
Electric discharge applications

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the release of static electricity when

two objects come into contact. Familiar examples of ESD include the
shock we receive when we walk across a carpet and touch a metal
doorknob.

How did the human accumulate more negative charge? How was it
discharged?

of the charges on the surface. Is this an example of static energy?
a. Yes
b. No

How so?

 Electrostatic discharge
Electric discharge applications

An electroscope responds to
the presence of a charge by
moving electrons either into or
away from the leaves. In both
cases, the leaves separate. It is
important to note that the
electroscope cannot determine
if the charged object is positive
or negative – it is only
responding to the presence of
an electrical charge.
 PICTIONARY
Two representative from the groups will participate in this game per word.
One player will draw and the other player will guess. Both teams will play
at the same time.

There are 10 words and 1 word equates to 5 points.
