=Chapter 32 Electrostatics = **Introduction-** ** 32-1 Electrical Forces and Charges · Electrical forces-pair of forces that are acting on you at all times  ·  They arise from particles in atoms · Unlike gravity which can only be an attractive force, the electrical force can either attract or repel. **· For example, in the early 1900s, Ernest Rutherford and Niels Bohr constructed a model of the atom which a positively charged nucleus is surrounded by electrons · Charge-an attracting and repelling behavior; no two charges that are the same can attract each other o Protons are positively charged o Neutrons neutrally charged (neither attract or repel any charge) o Electrons are negatively charged
 * **Electricity in one form or another underlies just about everything around you from the lightning from the sky to the spark beneath your feet when you scuff across a rug **

If it has more electrons than protons, the object is negatively charged. If it has fewer electrons than protons, then it is positively charged. **

Which force-gravitational or electrical-repels as well as attracts? 2. How do protons and electrons differ in their charge? 3. How do like charges behave? 4. How do unlike charges behave? 5. How does a negative ion differ from a positive ion?

 * <span style="display: block; color: #000080; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">**<span style="display: block; color: #000080; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">If a charged object is already available then it can be used to charge another object by induction **
 * <span style="display: block; color: #000080; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">**<span style="display: block; color: #000080; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">You can do this by bringing another charged object such as a rubber rod near the object to be charged, allowing the displaced charge to drain off on the other side then removing the drain while the charged object remains ten finally removing the original charged object leaving the induced charge. **
 * <span style="display: block; color: #000080; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">**<span style="display: block; color: #000080; font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Electrically polarized- when an insulator is brought near a charged object the charges in the insulator will rearrange slightly so that one side will have a slight positive charge and the other will have a negative charge. **
