Electronics - Week 1

1) The document is a science worksheet that provides instructions for students to complete tasks visualizing electric charges and electric field lines. 2) Students are asked to determine the net charge of objects depicted in diagrams and classify them as neutral, positively charged, or negatively charged. 3) Another task challenges students to determine the charge of a sphere based on whether it is repelled or attracted to another charged sphere. 4) The final task instructs students to draw electric field lines depicting the interactions between different charges using colored pens to distinguish positive and negative lines.

Since you know now that objects like wool, silk, glass and plastic rods contain
electric charge, you are now ready to visualize charges and perform simple addition skills.
Try this!

A charge diagram gives a schematic picture of the distribution of


charge on an object.

A NET charge is the sum of all positive and negative charge in an


object.
Charge, like energy, cannot be created or destroyed. We say that
charge is conserved.

TASK 2: VISUALIZING CHARGES:

DIRECTIONS: Below are schematic pictures showing an object’s distribution of charges.


Determine the object’s NET charge and classify whether the objects are electrically
neutral, positively charged and negatively charged on the spaces provided.

ADDITIONAL KNOWLEDGE

• CONDUCTORS allow for charge transfer through the free movement


of electrons.
• INSULATORS are materials that impede the free flow of electrons.

You have already observed and visualized how charges behaves when they interact
with other charges in nature and even computed mathematically the amount of charge
they possess after the interaction. Try to solving the challenge task below by applying the
knowledge you gained from the previous tasks. Have fun.

TASK 3: Application of Electrostatic Forces: A Challenge Task

Two charged metal spheres hang from strings and are free to move as shown in the picture
below. The right-hand sphere is positively charged. The charge on the left-hand sphere is
unknown.
The left sphere is now brought close to the right sphere.
1. If the left-hand sphere swings towards the right-hand
sphere, what can you say about the charge on the left
sphere and why?

2. If the left-hand sphere swings away from the right-hand


sphere, what can you say about the charge on the left
sphere and why?

For us to be able to visualize how strong is the electrical force at any point between
charges in nature, we will be using vector lines or arrows in order for us to see the direction
of the electric field. We call these lines as electric field lines.

The following rules apply to electric field lines:


1. Lines begin and end only at charges (beginning at + charges,
ending at - charges) or at Infinity.
2. Lines are closer together where the field is stronger.
3. Larger charges have more field lines beginning or ending on them.
4. Electric Field lines never cross (since E must point in a definite
direction unless it is zero).
5. At any location, the direction of the electric field is tangent to the
electric field line that passes through that location.

Did you know that there are many interesting patterns that can be formed with
the study of electrical field lines? Well, you surely did not learn this in your geometry
class, which is why you need to perform task 4 to completely understand what it is all
about. You may visit this web link for you to gain more information for the completion of
your mapping task: www.slideshare.net/linwenquan1982/drawing-electric-field-lines.

TASK 4: Mapping Electric Field Lines:

DIRECTIONS: Draw the field lines of the following charge interactions (Use RED ink pen for the
line vector of positive charge and a BLUE ink pen for the line vector of a negative charge).
