To learn how to charge an electroscope by inductionSlide4

ELECTROSCOPES

Electroscopes are devices that detect electric charge

We have looked at two types

A pith ball electroscope

A metal leaf electroscopeSlide5

SIMILARITIES & DIFFERENCES

Similarities:

They can both detect when there is an electric charge on an object;

A pith ball will move toward a charged object

The leaves on a metal leaf electroscope will spread apart when a charged object comes near

Differences:

It is not possible to tell if a pith ball has a charge on it if it is standing alone

If a metal leaf electroscope is charged it is easy to see because the leaves spread apartSlide6

DETECTING CHARGE

Question:

If you have a pith ball that is charged, how do you know if it’s positive or negative?Slide7

DETECTING CHARGE

Answer:

Simple

! Charge a rod so you know it’s charged. For example, take an ebonite rod and rub it with fur and it will become negative (see page 473).

Next, place the rod close to the ball. If the ball is attracted to the rod the ball is positive. If it is repelled, then it’s negative.Slide8

HOW DOES A METAL LEAF ELECTROSCOPE WORK?

It is made of metal (a conductor) and has two very light metallic leaves at the bottom.

Let’s say that a negatively charged object comes close to it

Electrons in the electroscope will try to get

as far away from the object as possible. So

they go down to the bottom (where the

leaves are).

Now the leaves have extra electrons so they repel each otherSlide9

INDUCED CHARGE SEPARATION

If the object does not touch the electroscope then the electroscope is neutral. However, the top

part of the electroscope is positive and the

bottom half is negative.

This is called

Induced Charge Separation

If the object actually touches the electroscope then electrons will jump over to it from the object and the electroscope will be chargedSlide10

GROUNDING

Question:

How do you discharge a charged object?

Answer:

Simple. Just touch it! If it has extra electrons (negatively charged) then the electrons will move on to you and then travel through your body into the earth. If the object has too few electrons (positively charged) then electrons will move from your body to the object. This is called

groundingSlide11

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Question:

How can you charge an electroscope using a charged rod that never touches it?Slide12

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Answer:

Let’s say the rod is positively charged this time

Step 1 – Bring the rod close to (but not touching the

electroscope). This will

bring the electrons from the

bottom of the electroscope

up to the top (induced charge separation)Slide13

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Step 2 – Put your finger on the electroscope. This is called grounding. Since the positive rod is close, electrons will come up from the ground, through your finger and into the electroscope because they want to get close to the rod.

Step 3 – Remove your finger.

Now the electrons are

trapped in the electroscope.

Step 4 – Remove the rodSlide14

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Question:

What charge does the electroscope have?

Answer:

Electrons came into the electroscope so it has a negative charge.

What would happen if you did the same thing with a negative rod? What kind of charge would the electroscope have?Slide15
