Electrostatics

In this live Grade 10 Physical Sciences show we take a close look at Electrostatics. In this lesson we define electrostatics charge, discuss charging & discharging as well as solve problems relating to conservation of charge & electrostatics.

That's great news! All the best :)

This has to be the most effective lesson I've had on electrostatics.

thank you soo much this really helps , im in grade 9 and I know it says for grade 10 but everything you explained is what my teacher is teaching us now , thanks soo much

[@deepadhas9382]

Thankyou so much you helped me
Learn for my exams and my teacher doesn't teach things Good. you are a great teacher!!

[@essem7033]

Awesome teaching
Learnt alot

So basically electrostatics are all about charge it starts of neutral but eventually it becomes either postive or negative.
How do we determine this?
Postive charges contains majority protons whereas negative charges contain majority electrons ( Neutral charges have an equal number of both)
How does this happen ? Through contact (just by touching) or friction (rubbing together) the electrons are transferred to one anothers object
Why is it that only electrons are transferred?
Well the protons are on the inside part of the atom whereas the electrons are on the more outside part so obviously the stuff on the outside will interact with the environment
Basically > electrons lost it'll become +
> Electrons gained it'll become -
• CONSERVATION OF CHARGE: charge is neither created nor destroyed, it is transferred
*Tribo electric series
•Attraction and repulsion
- unlike charges are attracted
- liked charged are repelled
- the closer the objects the stronger the force

hey mindset! i'm a little bit confused: shouldn't the charge of electrons be *-*1,6 . 10^-9? we were taught that electrons have it as negative then protons with a positive value. thank you!

[@evillady5082]

Electrons are negative and protons are positive in definition. When writing it down,you are allowed to just write electron at positive to avoid confusion.
