2. Section1 Electric Charge and Static Electricity Chapter 17

3. Law of Electric Charges • Like charges repel; Opposite charges attract

4. Section 1 Electric Charge and Static Electricity Chapter 17 Electric Charge • Electricity is the energy caused by the flow of electrons. • Charges Exert Force Atoms are composed of particles with electric charge. • The law of electric charges states that like charges repel and opposite charges attract.

5. Section1 Electric Charge and Static Electricity Chapter 17 Electric Charge, continued • The Force Between Protons and Electrons Because protons and electrons have opposite charges, they are attracted to each other. • The Electric Force and the Electric Field The force between charged objects is an electric force. • An electric field is the region around a charged object in which an electric force is exerted on another charged object.

8. March 5, 2013Do Now: Using the Law of Electric Charges, predict what will happen: _ • A B C • Between A & B? • Between B & C? • Between A & C? • Objective: define static electricity and describe the 3 ways an object can become charged! • Homework: Go to Mrs. Anicito’s page and open the lightning assignment. Complete for Thursday! + +

9. Charge and Static Electricity Chapter 17 • Static Electricity : A BUILD UP OF CHARGE (electrons) on an object! • Electric Discharge: loss of static electricity • Detecting Charge You can use a device called an electroscope to see if something is charged.

10. Electric Charge and Static Electricity Chapter 17 Charge It! • Friction Charging by friction happens when electrons are “wiped” from one object onto another. • Conduction Charging by conduction happens when electrons move from one object to another by direct contact. • Induction Charging by induction happens when charges in an uncharged metal object are rearranged without direct contact with a charged object.

11. Static electricity by friction 1. Friction: build up of charge by rubbing one object against another. Rubbing hair with balloon

12. 2. Conduction: build up of charge by direct • contact between 2 objects

13. 3. Induction: build up of charge by force of attraction or repulsion WITHOUT touching one object to the other ( through open space ) Demo with Salt

15. 3 Ways to Charge an Object

16. Use the word bank to select your BEST answer. FRICTION (f)INDUCTION (i)CONDUCTION (c) 1._____Electrons transferred from one object to another by direct contact. 2.____ Charges on an object rearrange without direct contact when a charged object is near it. 3. ____Rub 2 objects together. The electrons are transferred. 4. ____Rub a balloon on a wool sweater, and place it near a wall. 5. ____ Walking across a carpet.

17. Write the letter that most applies for each word. 1.___ Repel A. Objects with opposite charges come together. 2.___ Electroscope B. Detects charges. 3.___ Attract C. Objects with like charges jump apart. Answer the questions. State the Law of Electric Charges: _______________________________________   ____________________________________ List the three ways in which an object can become charged: 5) 6) 7)

18. When an object becomes charged, one object ________ electrons, and one object _______ electrons. • multiple choice:  • _____ Electric force is found between • a) Charged objects b) credit cards c) criminals • _____ The area around a charged particle that can exert a force is called : • a) electric force b) electric shock c) electric field • 11. ______ The build up of electric charges on an object is • a) current electricity b) static electricity c ) electric discharge

19. E. True /False. CORRECT the False!! 17.____ A lightning bolt is an example of electric discharge. 18.____ An electroscope can tell if the charge is pos. or neg. 19.____ Static electricity is NOT as noticeable in the summer because of the dryness in the air. 20._____ Lightning is a result of the negative charges in the clouds being attracted to the negative charges on the ground.

22. Current electricity • Current is a flow of electric charges. It is not a build up of charge that is discharged. • All current elec. needs a circuit—a pathway for electric charges to flow.. • All circuits must have at least 3 parts : 1) wires, 2) a source and 3) a load(s).

23. Parts of a circuit wires Source of electricity Load

24. Conductors • Conductor: a material that easily allows the flow of electric charges. • It gives very little resistance to the flow of charge. ( metals – copper, aluminum , etc )

25. Insulators • Insulators:do not easily allow for the flow of electric charges through them. • Ex: glass, plastic, certain rubber materials, cloth.

27. Types of circuits • http://www.brainpop.com/science/energy/electriccircuits/http://www.brainpop.com/science/energy/electriccircuits/

28. Law of electric Charges • Like Charges repel; Unlike charges attract.

29. 2 main types of circuits • 1. Series Circuit:only 1 pathfor the electric charges to flow • 2. Parallel Circuit: has More than one path for the electric charges to flow.

30. Series circuit

32. Now, let’s draw it in your notes:

33. Resistance • This is what “slows down” the movement of the electric charges … so they hit each other more… • What do you think could ADD resistance in a circuit ? • Add more loads to the same circuit • Heat • Longer wires • Thinner wires

34. Circuit Mini Lab • Take a sheet of computer paper. • You have 4 drawings, 4 circuits to build, and 4 questions to answer… Let’s do the drawings together, then you can build, and answer the questions: • You Label: wires, source, load, direction, terminals, switch • 1. 3. • 2. 4.

35. 2. Parallel Circuit: has more than 1 path for electric charges to flow, so if 1 load goes “out,” the other loads will still work !

37. Draw a parallel circuit

38. Circuit simulation http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/circuit-construction-kit-dc

39. Alternating Current - AC • Electric charges move back and forth—homes and buildings. Ex: 60 V one way and 60 V the other way,= 120 Volts

40. Let’s recap: • 2 types circuits 2 types current direction 1 way Direct current Series Parallel Alternating current Back and forth Direct with a battery One way

41. BATTERIES • Electrolytes- liquids/acids that cause a chem. reaction, that releases electric charges • Batteries (usually) are DC-direct current- where the electrons flow only in 1 direction. CONVERT CHEM. ENERGY TO ELECTRICITY. 2 TYPES: DRY CELLS WET CELLS Dry cells have paste-like electrolytes, and these are the batteries you are used to using. Wet cells have liquid electrolytes. ( car batteries)

46. Circuit breakers and fuses Circuit breaker-open a circuit to keep from Overload. Plug fuses • Circuit breaker fuses

48. Ohm’s law I = V/ R Current = voltage/ resistance. Discuss wires and resistance!!
