Chapter 32: Electrostatics 

Essential Questions

  • Why do electric force exists between any two charged objects.
  • Why do oppositely charged objects attract, while objects with like charge repel.
  • Why is the strength of the electric force between two charged objects is proportional to the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them (Coulomb’s Law)?
Standards Covered

P3.7A Predict how the electric force between charged objects varies when the distance between them and/or the magnitude of charges change.
P3.7B Explain why acquiring a large excess static charge (e.g., pulling off a wool cap, touching a Van de Graaff generator, combing) affects your hair.

32.1 Electrical Forces and Charge
32.2 Conservation of Charge
13-15 April
pg 645-647

Standard Practiced:
P3.7A
Big Ideas:
1.The fundamental rule at the base of all electrical phenomena is that like charges repel and opposite charges attract
2. An object that has unequal numbers of electrons and protons is electrically charged.  
Terms to Know:
electrostatics
Electrical Forces
Charge
Conservation of Charge

32.1-32.2 Practice

1. BOOK NOTES (10-15 min)

32.3 Coulomb's Law
16-17 April
pg 648-650

Standard Practiced:
3.7A
3.7B
Big Ideas:
Coulomb's Law states that for a charged particles or object sthat are small in compared with the distance between them, the force between the charges varies directly as the product of the charges and inversely as the square of the distance between them. 
Terms/Formulas to Know:
Coulomb's Law
