Unit 2 Electricity

Lesson 1
Electrostatic force
Learning Objective
Explain the attraction and repulsion
6-3-02

of electrostatically charged materials.

Imagin cutting a gold bar
in half
Then cut in half again …
and again …..
and again …….

How small could you cut

up the gold and still be a
gold.
What is the atom?
The smallest unit of matter.
The atom
The atom contains:
2. The nucleus
contains both
1. The nucleus
protons with
in the middle
positive charge
of the atom
( P+) and neutrons
and more
with no charge (n)
dense
zero charge

3. The electrons with

negative charge ( e-)
revolving around the
nucleus

The Atom
The main atomic parts are:

1. The Protons (P+)

2. The neutrons with no charge (n) zero charge

3. The electrons with negative charge ( e-)

Properties of atomic Particles
●The atom is electrically neutral??
→ Bec, the number of Negative (-ve)
electrons that rotate around the nucleus
is equal to the number of Positive (+ve)
protons in the nucleus.

electrostatic force
Most objects are neutral, meaning
they have the same number of positive and negative
charges. When two objects touch or nearly touch,
charged particles can move from one object to the other
electrostatic force

When we rub the balloon with the

Charged balloon with negative
woolen sweeter the electrons will
electrons
jump to the balloon and the balloon
will be charged
electrostatic force

If you put the balloon near to

another neutral object the
electrons will attract the
positive charge on the
neutral object .
Why ?
electrostatic force

The dislike charges attract

The like charges Repel

electrostatic force
It is a non-contact force that moves objects
as objects can attract or repel other objects
depending on their charge.

Learn how the lightening formed
Static electricity

• A static charge
happens when 2
surfaces touch
each other and
electrons move
from one object to
the other due to
friction.
Where do charges come from?
When a balloon rubs a piece of wool...
electrons are pulled from the

wool to the balloon.

+ The balloon has more electrons than

The wool: +charged
Examples
These are all examples of static
electricity.
1. How many of you have walked across the carpet and felt a little shock
when you touched a doorknob?
2. Have you ever gone down a slide and had your hair look like this?
3. Have you ever seen lightning during a storm?

How is the electric
current

generated?
It is caused by a flow of tiny particles
called electrons through a material.
Electric Current
It is a flow of electric charges
(Electrons) along a conducting
material (wire).

What are the sources of electricity?

1.Main electricity.(Alternating current AC )

2.Electric cells.(Direct current DC)

what’s the difference?

Main Electricity
• Generated by power stations.
• Delivered to homes and factories
through wires.
• Finally connected to main sockets.
• Supplies a lot of electrical energy.
Electric Cells

• Used in many portable electrical

devices.
• Supplies small amount of energy.
