Learning At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Objectives a. describe using a diagram charging by rubbing and charging by induction;
b. explain the role of electron transfer in electrostatic charging by rubbing;
and
c. caclculate the net electric force on appoint charge exerted by a system of a
point charges.
Charging by Conduction

A body can also electrically charged through conduction. Consider a neutral body A. Charges in A
are evenly distributed throughout the material. Suppose a strongly negative body B is brought
near A. The negative charges of A will move to the side farther from where B is. Consequently, the
positive charges of A will be attracted toward the side near B. If b will touch A, some B’s negative
charges will transfer to A as these spread away from each other. If B will be separated from A, B is
now less negative than before, while A is now more negative.
