Static Electricity


improve-tution1

  • Static electricity = charges which aren’t free to move = causes the charges to build up in one place = ends with a spark or a shock
  • Negatively charged electrons are moved off one material to another material when insulating materials are rubbed together = materials are now electrically charged (positive static charge on one material and equal negative static charge on the other)
  • Polythene rod and cloth: electrons move from the cloth to the rod, leaving the rod with a negative static charge and the cloth a positive static charge
  • Acetate rod and cloth : electrons move from the rod to the cloth, leaving the rod with a negative static charge and the cloth a negative static charge.
  • Positive charges DO NOT move. Positive and negative electrostatic charges are only produced bymoving electrons .
  • Positive static charge = caused by electrons moving elsewhere
  • Material loses electrons = loses negative charge = left with an equal positive charge
  • Electric charge builds on an object = potential difference between the object and earth (at 0V) INCREASES
  • If PD gets big enough = electrons can jump across the gap between the charged object and earth = SPARK
  • Electrons can also jump to any earthed conductor which is near. Therefore, you get static shocks when you get out of the car: charge builds up on cars metal frame. If you touch the car the charge travels through you to earth
  • Usually happens when the gap is small.
  • Two things with opposite electric charges = attracted to each other
  • Two things with same electric charges =repel each other
  • Forces get weaker as the distance between objects increases
  • Forces will cause the objects to move If they can = electrostatic attraction/repulsion and is a non-contact force (objects do not need to touch)
