On your companion sheet write down the 6 electricity equations that you need to memorise for the exam.
Hint - Click on the Do it Now post it for a hint.
Write down a definition for the word STATIC. Then relate it to the the electricity topic to give yourself a definition of static electricity.
Note:- Don't just google a definition of static electricity. I will be able to tell. I'm not silly.
Watch the video and answer the questions on the companion sheet.
The car body is made from Aluminum.
Aluminium is a conductor of electricity.
Explain
How the car can build up enough charge to give you a static shock if you touch it?
See how static electricit builds up and discharges. Rub John's foot on the carpet and then move his hand towards the door!
In your own words explain how the Van de Graaff generator works and why it makes your hair stand on end.
Watch the demonstration in class and join in if you dare!!
Here's a couple of videos to explain what is going on.
There are 4 non- contact forces in physics.
Gravitational (Forces topic)
Magnetic (Magnetism and electromagnetism topic)
Electrostatic (Electricity, Atoms and radiations , and the Chemical bonding)
Weak and strong Nuclear forces (A-Level)
Today we need to have a look at the Electrostatic force. This force is present in an electric field around a charged object. All non contact forces use fields of influence (...we just say Fields), this is an area around the object where it can exert its force.
The rules for all fields of influence are the same, regardless of which force is responsible.
