    Electricity originates from the Greek word for amber, as Thales of Miletus discovered amber could attract objects when rubbed with fur. Key figures like Coulomb, Volta, and Ampere contributed theories to electricity including Coulomb's Law stating the force between charges is proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Electricity is studied through electrodynamics of moving charges and electrostatics of stationary charges. Materials can be conductors that allow electron flow, insulators that do not, or semiconductors that are in between.

    PHYSICS

    Electricity: comes from the Greek word elecktron


    which means amber.

    ● In about 600BC, Thales of Miletus discovered


    that when amber was rubbed with fur, it
    attracted light objects.
    ● Sir William Gilbert, English physicist, found
    that many substances behaved like amber.
    ● Charles Coulomb -> Coulomb’s Law
    ● Alessandro Volta -> electric battery
    ● Andre Marie Ampere -> magnetic field
    produced by currents
    Methods of making a charged body
    ● Georg Simon Ohm -> Ohm’s Law
    ● J.J Thomson -> discovered electron 1) By Friction -> rubbing one material against another

    Branches of Electricity 2) By Contact / Conduction-> contact occurs between


    charged object and neutral object./ two objects with
    1)Electrodynamics same charge.

    ● Current electricity 3) By Induction -> a process by which an electrically


    ● study of relations between electric, magnetic charged object brought near a neutral object creates
    and mechanical phenomena when charges a charge in that object
    are in motion
    4)By Grounding
    2)Electrostatics
    Classification of Materials according to Flow of
    ● Static electricity Charges:
    ● study of the interactions that occur when
    1) Conductors -> materials that allow electrons
    electric charges are at rest
    to pass through them (usually metals)
    Electric Charge- is a physical property of an object Ex. Silver, Iron, Copper, Aluminum
    that causes attraction or repulsion 2) Insulators -> materials that hinder the flow of
    electrons
    ● Positive Charge- proton Ex. rubber, glass, silk, porcelain
    ● Negative Charge- electron 3) Semi-Conductors -> materials considered
    # of protons = # of electrons zero net charge neither good conductors nor good insulators
    Ex. Germanium, silicon
    # of protons < # of electrons net negative charge
    Coulomb’s Law
    # of protons > # of electrons net positive charge
    ⮚ Charles Augistine de Coulomb (1736 - 1806),
    Ions- electrically charged atoms a French physicist
    ⮚ He was the first to propose a formula to
    First Law of Electrostatics
    calculate electrostatic force
    ⮚ “Like charges repel, unlike charges attract.”

    Law of Conservation of Charge

    ⮚ “In any process, the total number of positive


    and negative charges does not change.”
    Electrostatic Force/ Coulomb Force

    ⮚ defined as the amount and direction of attraction


    or repulsion between two charged bodies
    ⮚ a vector quantity
    ⮚ unit: Newton (N)

    Coulomb’s Law

    “The force exerted by two charged objects on one


    another is proportional to the product of the
    magnitude of their charges and inversely
    proportional to the square of the distance between
    them.”

    Electric Field

    ● a region of space in which an electric


    charge will experience a force when
    placed in it
    ● electric force per unit charge ; vector
    quantity

    *electric field depends only on the charge (q)


    and the distance (r) ; it is completely
    independent of the test charge

    Electric Potential

    ● The electric potential at a point is the


    work per unit charge required to bring a
    positive test charge from a point of zero
    potential to the point in question.
    ● potential energy per unit charge
