    Static Electricity

    Static electricity occurs when an object gains an excess of electric charges that cannot flow. Charges can be either positive or negative, and like charges repel while unlike charges attract. An electric field is the region around a charged object where other charges will experience an electric force. Electric field lines show the direction and strength of the electric force exerted by a charge. Objects can be charged through induction, by charging two conductors near one another, or by friction which transfers electrons between objects.

    Static Electricity

    An object can store electric charges that cannot flow. These charges
    are called static charges (Static electricity).

    • Charges are either positive or negative.


    • Like charges repel, unlike charges attract.
    • SI Unit of Electric Charge: Coulomb (C).

    ELECTRIC FIELD
    • This is a region where a small charge experiences an electric force.
    • Like charges experience repulsive force, unlike charges experience
    attractive force. – Law of electrostatics
    • Electric fields are represented by electric field lines.
    • These arrow-marked lines (one arrow for one line) represent the direction
    of electric force of a free-moving positive charge. The closer parts of the
    lines (the regions nearer to the charge) indicate stronger electric force.
    • The figures below show the electric field lines of positive charge (+ sign)
    and a negative charge (- sign).

    Charging by friction
    • When a cloth is rubbed with a Perspex rod it
    becomes positively charged as shown below.
    • Before rubbing

    Education for the Real World


    After rubbing

    The perspex rod becomes positively charged and the cloth becomes
    negatively charged, that is because from the rod electrons transferred into
    cloth. So there are net positive charge in rod and net negative charge in
    cloth.

    Education for the Real World


    When a cloth rubbed with polythene rod it becomes negatively
    charged as shown below.

    Before rubbing

    Education for the Real World


    After rubbing

    The polythene rod becomes negatively charged and the cloth becomes positively charged,
    that is because from the cloth electrons transferred into rod. So net negative charge in rod
    and net positive charge in cloth.

    So the charging of solid object involved transfer


    of electrons from object to another.
