Ch6S1 "Electric Charge"
-
Conservation of charge
When your shoe soles become charged, they illustrate
the LAW of CONSERVATION OF CHARGE.
-
-
Tranferring Charges
-
Ex- When you walk on the carpet, electrons transfer from the carpet to the soles of your shoes, the soles of your shoes GAIN an excess of electrons & become negatively charged. Carpet lost electrons & has an excess of POSITIVE charge. 
-
Charges excert forces
Unlike charges attract each other, & like charges repel each other.
Charged particles do not attract or repel particles with no charge, such as neutrons, through the electric force.
The force between electric charges depends on the amount of charge as well as on the distance between charges.

Electric Field
-
Any charge placed in an electric field will be Pushed or Pulled by the field. ARROW away = positive and Arrow toward = negative

-
Electroscope
-
Electroscope is made of two thin, metal leaves attached to a metal rod with a metal knob at the top.
The leaves are allowed to hang freely from the metal rod.
When the device is charged, electric forces push the leaves apart so they are separated.
