Learning objective
Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson, you will understand static charge, the role of electrons, protons, and neutrons, and answer retrieval questions.
What do you already know about static electricity and charges?
What is electric charge
Neutral object
Positive object only
Positive or negative object
Negative object only
Understanding Electrons
Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. They can move from one atom to another, creating electricity.
Role of Protons
Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus. They determine the element's identity and do not move during electricity generation.
Neutrons in the Atom
Neutrons have no charge and are also located in the nucleus. They add mass to the atom and help hold the nucleus together.
Slide 1 Retrieval Questions
1) What charge do electrons have?
2) Where are electrons located?
3) What charge do protons have?
4) Where are protons found?
5) What charge do neutrons have? 6) Where are neutrons located?
Static Charge Basics
Static charge occurs when electrons are transferred from one object to another, leaving one object positively charged and the other negatively charged.
Creating Static Electricity
Static electricity is created by friction, which causes electrons to move from one surface to another.
Slide 2 Retrieval Questions
1) What causes static charge?
2) What happens when electrons move? 3) What is the result of electron transfer?
4) How is static electricity created?
5) What role does friction play? 6) What happens to the charges of objects involved?
Attraction and Repulsion
Objects with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel.
Slide 3 Retrieval Questions
1) What do opposite charges do? 2) What do like charges do? 3) How do charged objects interact? 4) What is an example of attraction? 5) What is an example of repulsion? 6) Why do charged objects behave this way?
