Building Electric Charge

How does matter build up electric charge?

2

Friction Causes Electric Charge

  • Friction between two objects can rub electrons off of ato

  • Electrons are the only parts of the atom that move.

  • They are on the outside of the atom - the part that the force of friction affects.

  • Friction does not cause protons or neutrons to move from atom to atom

3

Multiple Choice

Which force causes the build up of electric charge?

1

push

2

gravity

3

friction

4

Multiple Choice

Which subatomic particle is rubbed off atoms by the force of friction?

1

electron

2

neutron

3

proton

5

Electric Force

  • Acts Like Magnetic Poles

  • Opposites Attract (Pull Together) - Positive & Negative

  • Likes Repel (Push Apart) - Positive & Positive or Negative & Negative

  • Charges must be unbalanced to see electric force

6

Multiple Choice

Electric force acts like what other force?

1

strong

2

magnetic

3

gravitational

4

solar

7

Multiple Choice

What do two positive charges do?

1

attract

2

repel

8

Multiple Choice

What does a positive and negative charge do?

1

attract

2

repel

9

Neutral Matter

  • Number of Protons EQUALS Number of Electrons

  • Each + cancels each -

  • Electric Charges are Balanced

  • Most Objects are Neutral - No Electric Force (No Attraction or Repulsion)

10

Multiple Choice

When an atom has an equal number of positive protons and negative electrons, it is

1

balanced

2

unbalanced

3

heavy

4

growing

11

Multiple Choice

Most matter has what charge?

1

positive

2

neutral

3

negative

12

Multiple Choice

When matter is neutral, it has no electric force.

1

True

2

False

13

Positive Charge

  • More + Protons than - Electrons

  • Loses Electrons

  • Unbalanced Charges

  • Has Electric Force (Can Attract Negatives and Repel Positives)

Slide image

14

Multiple Choice

How can an atom have an overall positive charge?

1

looses electrons

2

gains electrons

3

keeps all electrons

15

Multiple Choice

When an atom has an overall positive charge, it has more

1

protons than neutrons

2

protons than electrons

3

electrons than neutrons

4

electrons than protons

16

Multiple Choice

To have an overall positive charge, an atom must be

1

balanced

2

unbalanced

3

heavy

4

growing

17

Negative Charge

  • More - Electrons than + Protons

  • Gains Electrons

  • Unbalanced Charges

  • Has Electric Force (Can Attract Positives and Repel Negatives)

Slide image

18

Multiple Choice

How can an atom have an overall negative charge?

1

looses electrons

2

gains electrons

3

keeps all electrons

19

Multiple Choice

When an atom has an overall negative charge, it has more

1

protons than electrons

2

protons than neutrons

3

neutrons than electrons

4

electrons than protons

20

Multiple Choice

To have an overall negative charge, an atom must be

1

balanced

2

unbalanced

3

heavy

4

growing

21

Multiple Choice

How will electric force affect a positively charged atom and a negatively charged atom?

1

attract them

2

repel them

22

Multiple Choice

How will electric force affect a positively charged atom and another positively charged atom?

1

attract them

2

repel them
