ELECTRIC CHARGES
You learned from chemistry that the atom is the basic building block of matter. An atom is
the smallest part of an element that can enter combinations with atoms of other elements.
Atoms consist of positively charged particles called protons surrounded by negatively
charged particles called electrons. The third type of particle, a neutron, has no electrical
charge; it has the same weight as a proton. Protons and neutrons adhere tightly to form the
dense, positively charged nucleus of the atom. Electrons spin around the nucleus.
The protons and electrons of an atom are attracted to each other. They both carry
an electrical charge. The positive charge of the protons is equal to the negative charge of the
electrons. Opposite charges attract each other.
Electricity is the movement of electrons between atoms. Electrons usually remain a
constant distance from the atom's nucleus in precise shells. The shell closest to the nucleus can
hold two electrons. The next shell can hold up to eight. The outer shells can hold even more.
Some atoms with many protons can have as many as seven shells with electrons in them.
The electrons in the shells closest to the nucleus have a strong force of attraction to the
protons. Sometimes, the electrons in an atom's outermost shells do not have a strong force of
attraction to the protons. These electrons can be pushed out of their orbits. Applying a force
can make them shift from one atom to another. These shifting electrons are electricity.
Lightning is a form of electricity. Lightning is electrons moving from one cloud to another
or electrons jumping from a cloud to the ground. Have you ever felt a shock when you touched
an object after walking across a carpet? A stream of electrons jumped to you from that object.
This is called static electricity.
Have you ever made your hair stand straight up by rubbing a balloon on it? If so, you
rubbed some electrons off the balloon. The electrons moved into your hair from the balloon. The
electrons tried to get far away from each other by moving to the ends of your hair. They pushed
against or repelled each other and made your hair move. Just as opposite charges attract each
other, like charges repel each other.
There are three ways objects can be charged. The friction, conduction, and induction. In
each of these, only the electrons move. The protons stay in the nucleus. An electrical charge is
created when electrons are transferred to or removed from an object.
An electrical charge is created when two materials come into contact or are rubbed
together. When the materials are in contact, electrons can be literally rubbed off of one object
and onto the other. This doesn’t mean that any two materials rubbed together will cause
electrons to move. Some materials are much more willing to donate electrons, and others are
much more likely to accept electrons. A list of materials ordered by their ability to donate
electrons is called a triboelectric series. For more information, read pages 3- 14.
To learn more about the electricity and electric charges, open the following files saved
to your flash drive: 1) videos entitled “What is electricity Part 1 and Part 2”, “Electric Charge Crash
Course Physics”, and “The Science of Static Electricity by Anuradha Bhagwat” and
2) PowerPoint presentation entitled “Electric Charges”. Watch and analyze the contents of the
files.

you understood the concept learned. Write your answers in your notebook.
Check how many correct answers you got by comparing your answers with the given
answer key after the references. If you did not get all items correctly, review the learning
materials to figure out why you did not get the correct answer. If you got all items correctly, you
may proceed to the next part of the module.

Who are the people you often interact with? Relate how they influence you to the
principle of charging by conduction? Write your answer on the answer sheet provided.

Accomplish this task in the answer sheet by choosing the number that corresponds to
your learning experiences. Encircle the rating that corresponds to your choice.
