Thales

• Greek who lived around 600 B.C.E.
• One of the first to describe phenomenon related
  to electricity
• Described what happened when rubbed a piece of
  amber with wool

3
William Gilbert

• English scientist repeated Thales experiment in
  1570
• Named the effects electricity
• Electricity comes form the Greek word for amber,
  elektron

4
Thales and Gilbert

• Discovered electricity is everywhere

5
Electric Energy Energy ability to do work or
cause changes

• stove converts electric energy into heat energy
  that cooks food
• light bulb converts electric energy into light
  and heat energy

6
Electric Charge

• Electrical charge is a force within the particle.
  
• Basic property of matter
• All matter is made up of atoms.

7
Atoms

• Everything in the universe is made of atoms

8

• The human body is made of atoms.
• Air and water are, too.
• Atoms are the building blocks of the universe.

9

• If you could see an atom, it would look a little
  like a tiny center of balls surrounded by giant
  invisible shells.

10

• Atoms are so small that millions of them would
  fit on the head of a pin.

11

• Atoms are made of even smaller particles. The
  center of an atom is called the nucleus. It is
  made of particles called protons and neutrons.

12

• The protons and neutrons are very small, but
  electrons are much, much smaller.

13

• Electrons spin around the nucleus in shells a
  great distance from the nucleus.

14

• If the nucleus were the size of a tennis ball,
  the atom would be the size of the Empire State
  Building. Atoms are mostly empty space.

15
If an atom were the size of Turner Field, the
nucleus would be like a mosquito over second
base.
16
Protons, Electrons, Neutrons

• Protons - have a positive charge ()
• Electrons - have a negative charge (-)
• Neutrons - carry no charge
• number of neutrons can vary

17
Electrical Charge

• Concentration of electric charges

18
Law of Electric ChargeLike Charges Repel

• Objects that have the same charge repel each
  other
• Object exerts a force on the other object
• Forces push objects apart

19
Law of Electric Charge Opposite Charges Attract

• Objects that have opposite charges are attracted
  to each other
• Object exerts a force on the other object
• Forces pull the objects together

Static Charge

• Electrically neutral
• equal number of protons and electrons
• Static Charge
• Object has a positive or negative charge
• Neutral objects gains electrons, negatively
  charge
• Neutral objects loses electrons, positively charge

23
Static Electricity

• Buildup of charge on an object
• Most static charges trillions times larger than
  charge of single electron or proton
• Examples
• Shock from touching doorknob after walking on
  carpet
• Lightning

24
Comb and Paper Experiment

• Effect of static electricity when small pieces of
  paper were attracted to plastic comb after comb
  was rubbed with wool

25

28
FRICTION

• Objects can be charged by rubbing them together
• when two neutral objects rub together, electrons
  are transferred from one object to the other
• Example
• Static Cling as clothes tumble together in
  dryer some become positively charged and others
  negatively charged

29

• Charging by friction
• Gives two neutral materials opposite charges when
  rubbed together
• NO NEW CHARGES ARE CREATED
• Existing charges move to other objects or to new
  areas on the same object

30
FRICTION - DEMONSTRATION

• Rubber rod that is rubbed against a piece of wool
• Electrons move from the wool to the rod
• Rod becomes negatively charged
• Wool becomes positively charged

31
FRICTION - DEMONSTRATION

• Rubbing a balloon on your hair
• electrons move from hair to the balloon
• balloon becomes negatively charged
• hair becomes positively charged

32
Conduction

• Neutral objects can be charged by coming into
  contact with an already charged object
• when a charged object touches a neutral object,
  electrons are transferred to the neutral object
• objects that are charged by conduction have the
  same charge as the object that was used to charge
  them

33

• Charging by conduction
• Happens when electrons move from one object to
  another by direct contact
• NO NEW CHARGES ARE CREATED

34
CONDUCTION - DEMONSTRATION

• Touch a negatively charged rubber rod to a pile
  of neutral paper confetti
• confetti quickly flies apart
• pieces of confetti gain electrons and become
  negatively charged
• like charges repel

35
CONDUCTION - DEMONSTRATION

• A positively charged glass rod touches an
  uncharged metal rod
• electrons from the metal rod move to the glass
  rod
• the metal rod looses electrons and becomes
  positively charged

36
Induction

• Charged object is brought close to a neutral
  conductor, electrons in the neutral conductor can
  move to the new positions
• A material has areas of both negative and
  positive charges
• Causes an object to have a charge that is
  opposite to the charge that is brought near it

37

• Charging by induction
• Happens when charges in an uncharged object are
  rearranged without direct contact with a charged
  object

38
INDUCTION - DEMONSTRATION

• Rub a balloon against someones hair, charging
  the balloon by friction. The balloon becomes
  negatively charged. Hold the balloon near a
  neutral wall and let go.
• negative charge of the balloon induces a region
  of positive charge on the wall

39
MISCONCEPTION ALERT!!!!!!

• MISCONCEPTION atoms can gain or lose protons as
  well as electrons
• TRUTH
• atoms can only lose or gain electrons, which are
  negatively charged
• A net loss of electrons leaves an atom positively
  charged
• A net gain of electrons leaves and atom
  negatively charged

40
Conservation of Charge

• When you charge something by any method, no
  charges are created or destroyed
• The numbers of electrons and protons stay the
  same
• Electrons simply move from one atom to another
• Charges are neither created or destroyed, they
  are conserved
