PPT-Section 1: Electric Charge and Static Electricity

A force is a push or pull exerted on an object Energy is the ability to do work or cause change Potential energy is the stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object.

Electrons . can. . move. from one atom to another, but protons . cannot. move .. When an atom has . gained. electrons, it has more electrons than protons, and it is . negatively. Introduction to Electricity. Let review…. All matter is made up of atoms.. Atoms are made of charged subatomic particles.. Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter, similar to mass.. The electromagnetic force exists between protons and electrons. Like charges repel. Opposite charges attract.. WHAT IS STATIC ELECTRICITY?. . Static. . electricity. is . a. .

When substances gain or lose electrons, we say that they are electrically charged.. Items, such as plastics can easily become charge with when they are rubbed very quickly with a woollen cloth.. It’ll shock you!. What is Electricity?. The movement of charges (electrons). Can be passed (current). or Stationary (static). Electrostatics. = the study. o. f static electricity. Differences?.

Refers to electric charges that can be collected and held in one place.. “static” means stationary or not moving. Is the temporary transfer of electrons (e-).. All Matter is Made of Atoms. Atoms consist of a nucleus made of particles called protons and neutrons, orbited by electrons. Atoms are Electrically Neutral. Atoms have the same number of protons ( ) and electrons (-) and have no charge. Mary Tweedy, Curriculum Support Specialist – Science. Keisha Kidd, Curriculum Support Specialist – Science.
