 What’s New

Directions: Read the poem entitled “Charged” and answer the questions below. Do
this in your notebook /on a separate sheet of paper.

Charged
Electrostatic charges
vibrate just below
the skin.
Shimmering, shuddering
Secrets slice the edge
Slashing the surface
Looking for
A weak point
New charges
Whispers of insights
True or false.
Emotions energize entitles.
Turbulent storms
Ignite electrons,
The storm threatens
The tiny vessel
Struggling
To hold it all in.
One more charge
Until the boundary breaches
And the turbulent electrons
Strike whoever is near.

1. What can you say about the poem after reading it?
2. What do you think is the message of the poem?
3. Do you now have an idea about our new lesson?
 What is It

What is an electric charge? How are they formed? Every atom is made up of
negatively charged electrons surrounding a positively charged nucleus. The nucleus
contains protons, which are positively charged, and neutrons, which are neutral
(have no net electric charge).

https://www.google.com/search?q=atom+bohr+model&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjxxufjib7uAhWzyIsBH
YEVAM4Q_AUoAXoECB0QAw&biw=1280&bih=689# imgrc=HetuW9u_f73WsM&imgdii=1OSCjCOQ_8SLPMFigure

1. The Bohr Model: A model of an atom displaying the electron orbiting the nucleus of neutron and proton.
An electrical charge is developed when an atom gains or loses electrons.
When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged; while an atom that gains
electrons becomes negatively charged.
According to “The Law of Conservation of Charge”: charges cannot be created
nor destroyed but can be transferred from one material to another. This transferring
of charge involves three processes, namely: Friction, Induction, and Conduction.

Charging by Friction

What do you notice when you rub your hands together? Do your hands get
warmer? The force involved in this phenomenon is what we call friction. It happens
when two objects rub or push against each other. When you rub one material to
another material, some electrons may be transferred, leaving them both with a net
electric charge. Study the Figure 1 below.

Figure 1. :Rubbing a balloon to a sweater

When you rub the balloon to a sweater, the balloon gains electrons and becomes
negatively charged.

According to the “Electrostatic Law”, like charges repel and unlike charges
attract. Positive and negative attract so if you rub the balloon near the sweater,
electrons move towards it, causing attraction to the positively charged sweater.

Charging by Induction

Have you experienced watching Telekinesis? Do you know that it is the power to
manipulate or interact with one’s mind, without directly touching the objects? There
is also one type of electric charge that occurs when it doesn’t actually have contact
with each other. This process is what we call ‘Charging by Induction. Let’s look at
Figure 2 below.

Figure 2: A rubbed balloon sticking to the wall.

When you rub a balloon against your sweater and it sticks to the wall, you are
adding a surplus of electrons. The wall is now positively charged without direct
contact to the other material (sweater).

Remember: ANY neutrally charged object that comes in contact with a charged object
will be attracted to that object.

Charging by Conduction

Have you ever experienced accidentally touching the metal pan while cooking?
What do you feel? Is the metal pan hot? This is an example of the third type of
charging process known as “Charging by Conduction”. This is the transfer of electrons
from a charged object to another object by direct contact.
 The behavior of a charged material depends on its ability to allow charges to flow
through it. Materials like metals that allow charges to flow through them are called
conductors, while materials like rubber and paraffin which do not allow charges to
flow through them are called insulators. Let’s check Figure 3 below.

A B C

Figure 3. Touching the ends of the spoons ( A.) metal, B.)wood, C.) plastic,) after stirring a hot coffee.

A hot coffee was stirred with three (3) spoons ( A.) metal, B.)wood, C.) plastic,)
After touching the ends of the spoons, only the metal permitted charges to flow,
causing it to get hot.
