    This document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 1 of a General Physics 2 textbook on electricity and forces. [1] It introduces the concept of electric charge and static electricity, including that opposite charges attract and like charges repel. [2] It discusses conductors and insulators of electricity, and how charging can occur through contact or induction. [3] The final lesson introduces Coulomb's Law, which provides a formula for calculating the electrostatic force between two charged particles.

    GENERAL PHYSICS 2

    CHAPTER 1: FORCE OF ELECTRICITY

    ● Good conductors of electricity are also good


    LESSON 1: ELECTRIC CHARGE AND STATIC
    heat conductors
    ELECTRICITY
    ● Insulators of electricity are poor heat
    KEY TERMS conductors
    Electric Charge
    LESSON 3: CHARGING BY CONTACT
    - a physical property of an object that causes to
    be attracted toward or repelled from another KEY TERMS
    charged object; each charged object Electrostatic Repulsion
    generates and is influenced by a force called - The phenomenon of two objects with like
    an electromagnetic force. charges repelling each other
    Static Electricity Electroscope
    - the build-up of electric charge on the surface - It is a device that is used for detecting whether
    of an object an object is charged or uncharged.
    Electron Transfer Electrostatic Force (Coulomb Force)
    - Happens when 2 material rubbed each other - The amount and direction of attraction or
    Basic Characteristic of Static Electricity repulsion between two charged bodies
    ● Effects are explained by a physical quantity Charging by Conduct
    called electric charge
    ● There are only two types of charge, positive
    and negative.
    ● Like charges repel, whereas unlike charges
    attract
    ● The force between charges decreases with
    distance
    Remember:
    ● opposite charges, attract one another
    ● same charges, repel one another
    ● excess of electron, material becomes LESSON 4: CHARGING BY INDUCTION
    negatively charged
    ● deficiency of electron, material becomes KEY TERMS
    positively charged Induction
    ● Electrons = negative; Proton = positive - The process by which an electrically charged
    object brought near a neutral object creates a
    LESSON 2: CONDUCTORS AND INSULATORS charge in that object

    KEY TERMS Polarization


    - Separation of charges in an object that
    Free Electron
    remains neutral
    - An electron that is free to move away from its
    Polar Molecule
    atomic orbit
    - A molecule with asymmetrical distribution of
    Conductor
    positive and negative charges; neutral overall
    - Any object or substance that has free electron
    - Show greater polarization effects than
    and allows charge to move freely through it
    molecules with naturally uniform charge
    (e.g. molten salt, salty water)
    distribution
    Superconductors
    - Materials with resitivisity of zero Charging by Induction
    - This allows the movement of charge without
    any loss of energy
    Ion
    - An atom or molecule having a positive or
    negative (nonzero) total charge
    Insulators
    - Materials that can hold electron securely
    within their atomic orbits (e.g. pure water, dry
    table salt) Remember:
    ● Object closest to the charged rod receives an
    Remember:
    opposite charge when chrge by induction
    ● Total number of electron ≠ total number of
    ● Neutral object can be attracted by any
    proton
    charged object
    LESSON 5: COULOMB’S LAW

    KEY TERMS
    Coulomb’s Law
    - Mathematical formula to calculate the
    electrostatic force vector between two
    charged particle
    - Named after Charles Coulomb (1736-1806)
    - Charles Coulomb was the first to propose a
    formula to calculate electrostatic force
    Electrostatic Force (Coulomb Force)
    - The amount and direction of attraction or
    repulsion between two charged bodies
