Who’s right?

Explore the intriguing world of electric charges and forces through Electrostatics. Discover how the interaction between positive and negative charges leads to attraction or repulsion, as explained by the principles of physics. Experiment with polythene and acetate rods to witness the magic of electrostatic interactions in action.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Who’s right? A negative and a positive charge is like no charge at all Hey, believe me! They will attract because they are opposite charges Opposites must repel. Look at me, I don’t get on with my boyfriend! Plus and minus equal zero! So the two charges will destroy each other

  2. Super Mario is right! Like charges repel and opposite charges attract But why do they act like that?

  3. Every electric charge acts with a repulsive electric force (push) on another charge of like sign, while the same charge acts with an attractive electric force (pull) on another charge of opposite sign. The branch of Physics that studies these charges and their forces is called ELECTROSTATICS.

  4. Electrostatics Polythene rod When a polythene rod is rubbed by a duster, electrons are scratched away from the duster and stay on the rod Duster

  5. Electrostatics Acetate rod In the same way, when an acetate rod is rubbed, electrons are scratched away and stay on the duster Duster

  6. Having fun with electrostatics Now, rub a duster on your polythene (or acetate) rod and place the rod near the following objects: • Small chips of paper • A thin line of running water from the tap Then, record what happened in your book and try other things you can do with your rod or an air balloon and add them to your list.
