  1. Early Static Electricity Early Static Electricity Public lecturers would travel around by horse and cart demonstrating the marvels of electricity. They would coat the surface of pith balls with aluminum paint so that it would conduct electricity. People were fascinating by how objects could attract and repel.

  2. Attracting &Repelling Electrical Forces Electrical forces arise from particles in atoms. Protons in the nucleus attract the electrons and hold them in orbit. Attracting and repelling behavior is attributed to a property called charge. Ben Franklin named the 2 different kinds of charge positive and negative.

  3. Nuclear & Quantum physics Why don’t the protons pull the electrons into the nucleus? This gets into an area of physics called quantum physics. Basically, electrons have to occupy a certain space related to their wavelength. Why don’t protons in the nucleus mutually repel each other and fly apart? There are even stronger forces that are not electrical in nature that hold the nucleus together. These forces are called nuclear forces.
