Do Now:

Homework to be completed:

Quiz on Electric Forces Friday, January 6th

  1. Rocketman wrap-up due friday, January 6th

  2. magnetism

Today’s agenda:

Triboelectric series and Induced Charge

Demonstrate phenomenon

Explain - diagram on board - students take notes

  1. Triboelectric series - list order of materials that tend to give up charge or gain charge through contact.

    • Donors - give electrons up and become positively charged

    • Gainers - take electrons through adhesion and become negatively charged

  2. Induced Charge - When the electrons move out of an area and leave an unbalanced positive charge

    • Happens in conductors

      • conductors - materials that allow electrons to move through them freely

        • metals

    • Does not happen in insulators

      • insulator - materials that resist the movement of electrons

    • Metal objects acquire positive and negative poles

  3. Rub balloon on hair

    • Balloon takes electrons through adhesion

    • becomes negatively charge.

  4. Placed near a metal can - electrons (negative charges)are pushed to opposite side.

    • can now has a positive and negative poles

  5. opposites attract

    • can is pulled toward the balloon

Experiments in triboelectric Charge and Induced Charge

Can race bracket tomorrow - pick you clothing wisely!
