Electric Charges and Forces
There are two types of charge:
positive charges and negative charges
REPEL
REPEL
ATTRACT
Like charges repel, opposite charges attract.

Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Electrons, Protons, & Atoms
Electrons carry negative charge.
Protons carry positive charge.
Electrons are loosely bound to atoms
Protons are tightly locked
within the nucleus.
Helium atom
Electrons
Protons
Objects are usually neutral but can
easily acquire or lose electrons to
become charged.

Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Charging by Friction/Contact
Electrons move easily
so an object can
become charged by
rubbing electrons off
the object’s surface.
• Brush your hair with a plastic
comb.
• Walk across a carpet with
plastic-soled shoes.

Demo: Electroscope
The “legs” of an
electroscope
separate when
the electroscope
is charged due to
the repulsion of
like charge on the
two legs.

Demo: Van de Graff Generator
Van de Graff deposits
large quantities of
excess charge on its
globe.
A person with long hair
can become a human
electroscope.

Conservation of Charge
Charge cannot be created nor destroyed.
Objects become charged by transfer of charges.
Electrons are rubbed off the hairs of
a piece of fur, collecting and
charging a plastic rod.
Is the fur also charged?

Conductors & Insulators
Materials, such as metals, in which electrons
flow freely are called electrical conductors.
Materials, such as plastic and wood, in
which electrons do not move easily are
called electrical insulators.
Materials, such as silicon, that can act as
conductors or insulators under different
conditions are called semiconductors.

Plastic Insulators
Plastic insulation on step of van de
Graff and charge wand keep charge
from leaving the metal balls.
5-May-17
Plastic insulation on wire prevents
charge to leave wire except at the ends,
whereSJSU
the conducting metal is exposed.

Air is an insulator but at high voltages it
can conduct electricity as lightning.

Electric force has magnitude given by
(Electric Force) = (k) x
( Charge of Object A ) x ( Charge of Object B)

Negatively charged
rod repels electrons
so they move as far

Lightning Storms
Charge separates inside of
thunderclouds.
The lower part of the cloud
is negatively charged.
This induces a positive
charge on the ground.
When the voltage difference
is high enough, a
lightning bolt can occur.

Demo: Lightning Rod
Charge flows
readily to and
from sharp
metal points.
Purpose of a
lightning rod is
to discharge a
building before
lightning occurs.

positive charge
was placed in the
electric field.

Electric Potential
Electric potential is potential energy per charge,
like temperature is internal energy per molecule.
5000 °F ?
Check Yourself:
Is this safe?
Both situations are safe because the total amount of energy is small

Capacitors are used to store separated
positive and negative electric charges.
