  1. Electricity Day 1

  2. Atomic Review An atom consists of 3 particles: • Protons-positively charged • Neutrons-no charge • Electrons-negatively charged

  3. What is Electricity? • A form of energy caused by moving electrons.

  4. How charges act • Like charges repel • Opposites charges attract • Electrons flow from a negatively charged area to a positively charged area

  5. Most objects are electrically neutral

  6. How are charges transferred? • When you rub two substances together you do work and thus you add energy. • This removes electrons from one substance and adds it to the other. • This creates IONS which are charged particles.

  7. Static Electricity • Lightning • Leather car seats • Ben Franklin and the kite. • Sliding your feet on a rug

  8. Electrical Charge • Can be Transferred. • It cannot be created or destroyed.

  9. Summary The energy used to rub two things together is the energy that gets involved in removing and transferring electrons.
