Electromagnetism(electric and magnetic phenomena)
1. Electric charge 1a. Qualitative description
I. Electrostatics
This is about: electric charges, electromagnetic forces, and electromagnetic fields
This is about: non-moving electric charges, electrostatic forces, and electrostatic fields. (With very good approximation, electrostatics could be applied to slow moving charges. Slow means that the speed of the considered charge is much smaller then speed of light: v<<c)
•There are two and only two types of electric charges•Charges of the same type repel, and charges of different type attract (this is already qualitative description of electrostatic forces)•These two types are referred to as positive and negative (+q and –q)•Charges can be treated algebraically, and the net amount of electric charges in an isolated system is conserved (is not changed in any process). This is the law of conservation of electric charges
1c. Electric properties of different materials (very brief, qualitative description)
•Microscopic picture (atom)•Insulators•Conductors•Semiconductors•Superconductors
1d. “Games” with electric charges
•Charging by contact•Charging by induction•Electroscope•Electrometer

No repulsion
If we ground the electroscope while the rod is there, the charges in the electroscope that were “escaping” from the rod flow to the ground.
Positive

Neutral
No repulsion
Then we cut the grounding…
Positive
Negative
Neutral
Repulsion
And remove the rod…
The electroscope is now charged.The charge spreads now all over the object.
