Contents
Outcomes
- Pupils can predict whether the charges will attract or repel
- Pupils can describe dangers and uses of electrostatic charge
Specification References
- 2.20 recall that insulating materials can be charged by friction
- 2.21 explain that positive and negative electrostatic charges are produced on materials by the loss and gain of electrons
- 2.22 recall that there are forces of attraction between unlike charges and forces of repulsion between like charges
- 2.23 explain electrostatic phenomena in terms of the movement of electrons
- 2.24 recall the potential dangers of electrostatic charges, e.g. when fuelling aircraft and tankers
- 2.25 recall some uses of electrostatic charges, e.g. in photocopiers and inkjet printers
