Electrostatics:Study of static electricity – static means “at rest.”• Electricity that is localized; not moving
Greek Philosophers noted: Amber rubbed with fur attracts bits of dust.
Electric, electricity and electron all come from the
Greek word for amber -elektron

Benjamin Franklin (1750)
• Experimented with friction; causes objects to repel or attract materials – “charged”
First to use words “positive”and “negative” as description
Atoms (and subatomic particles) were not discovered yet– try explaining electricity without electrons…?
• Knew electric charge came from a transfer of invisible SOMETHING

Atoms contain 3 subatomic particles (1890)• Neutron – stationary particle with no charge (nucleus) • Proton – stationary particle with a positive charge (nucleus)• Electron – moving particle with a negative charge (orbits)
Friction (rubbing) provides enough energy to cause electrons to transfer between materials
We now KNOW:
• All atoms start off neutral: no net electric charge

Negative and positive static charges result from the addition and removal of
electrons ONLY

Particle model of Electricity
- Three states of charge exist : (+), (-) and neutral.
- Neutral objects are charged by friction.
Conservation of Charge:Since no new particles are created (Conservation of Matter)
the total number of (+)/(-) stay the same always.
(+) and (-) (-) and (-) OR (+) and (+)
Static: an excess or lack of electrons on a material.
(movement of electrons)
- Creates forces of attraction and repulsion

Notice the Conservation of Charge – after the transfer of electrons the net charge (together) still adds to zero

Most Negative (-)
When rubbed together, materials have a different strength of attraction for the electrons
Easily lose electrons
Easily gain electrons

Since static electricity is stationary charge (stays put) onlysome materials can maintain a charge
Insulators:Electrical charge is localized - fixedElectrons can’t move around
Rubber, plastic, cloth, glass, woodConductors:Electrical charge spreads through materialElectrons move around, weakening charge
Most metals are good conductors
Consider which balloon you can charge by rubbing on your hair and have stick to a wall

Charged objects attract a neutral object by inducing electrons to move over to one side:
Polarization – separation of charges within a neutral material creating (+) and (-) areas
Electrons repel – polarization of paper atoms
Causes Attraction!
(-) charged object
Neutral object

+++++
++
Electrons attract – polarization of paper atoms
Causes Attraction!
(+) charged object
Neutral object
This separation of charges explains why neutral objects attract to both
(+) and (-) charged objects

Lightning is (-) charge in the clouds causing polarization in
the surface of the Earth followed by a shock of
electrons between the two
