    The document discusses the discovery of electricity and key concepts in electricity. It describes William Gilbert as the "Father of Modern Electricity" and introduces the electron theory of electricity. It then explains three ways an object can become charged: through friction, conduction, or induction. Static electricity and electric discharge are discussed, with lightning given as a dramatic example of discharge. Benjamin Franklin's role in studying lightning is also mentioned, as is the invention of the lightning rod.

    ELECTRON THEORY

    Mass of an electron is
    about 1/1840 of the mass of
    proton and neutron or
    proton. Yet the charge of
    the electron is of the same
    magnitude as of the proton
    but opposite in sign.

    CHARGING AN OBJECT
    Friction,Conduction, and Induction
    7

    Charging an Object

    Friction Conduction Induction


    8

    FRICTION

    Rubbing two objects


    together can cause
    electrons to be “wiped” from
    one object to and
    transferred to the other.
    9

    CONDUCTION

    Charging by conduction
    occurs when electrons are
    transferred from one object
    to another by direct contact.
    10

    INDUCTION

    Charging by conduction
    occurs when charges in an
    uncharged object are
    rearranged without direct
    contact with a charged
    object.
    11
    12

    STATIC ELECTRICITY
    13

    ELECTRIC DISCHARGE

    Charges that build as static electricity on an eventually


    leave the object.
    14

    LIGHTNING

    One of the most dramatic


    examples of electric discharge is
    lightning.
