    Charging by Friction, Conduction & Induction (3 Days of Notes)

    Uploaded by

    john doe
    Electrostatics is the study of static electricity and the movement of electric charges when objects are rubbed together. The document discusses three methods of charging objects: friction, conduction, and induction. It provides examples of how rubbing or touching different materials results in the transfer of electrons and different charges. The document also explains how to use a metal leaf electroscope and charged rod to demonstrate charging by conduction and induction, which can produce temporary or permanent charges on the electroscope. Labs are described to explore charging methods and identify conductors and insulators.

    materials are rubbed
    together or come in
    contact and electric
    charges transfer from
    one object to another.

    € Conductor – a substance that allows


    electrons to flow through it i.e. metals
    € Insulator – a substance that does not
    allow electrons to flow through it i.e.
    plastic
    € Grounding – connecting an object to a
    large body (like Earth) – it removes the
    electric charges.

    € Charging an object by contact with a


    charged object.

    1. Using a material of your choice give a rod a negative


    charge (use the electrostatic series).
    2. Touch the charged rod to the metal leaf electroscope.
    You will know you’ve charged your rod properly if the
    lea es separate
    leaves separate. If the
    they don’t go back to step 11.
    3. In your bag you have a variety of materials (copper, zinc,
    plastic straws, wood, etc).
    4. You will hold the rod on the sphere and then touch the
    sphere with one of the objects.
    5. If the electroscope leaves have returned to the neutral
    position return to step 2. Now try touching the knob with
    the other materials.
