Electrostatics XI

| Charges at Rest |
Charges : Every object in the universe is made up of small unit called as atom. Every atom consist of two type of charges viz. (Negatively charged electrons and positively charged Proton) as shown in fig above. This charges has different characteristics depending upon the state of rest and state of motion. When the charges are in motion they constitute electric current and when the charges is at rest it constitute static system. We are going to discuss about characteristics of charges when it is at rest in this chapter.
Try this experiment below
Electrostatics : The study of charges at rest is called as Electrostatics. We have observed various phenomenon in our daily life (when the comb is rubbed with hair and brought near small pieces of paper, it attracts the paper. This is due to the static charge developed on the comb due to rubbing of comb.
Method of charging an object: There are two method of charging a conductor viz (a) Conduction method (b) Induction method. Let us understand it in detail.
(A) Conduction method of charging : The method of charging in which charges are developed on a neutral object due to their interaction (contact)is conduction method of charging. Let us understand it with an example.
Consider two Neutral object A and B .Object A is having 5 electrons and 5 protons as shown in fig above, similarly object B is having 4 charges each. When these object are brought together in contact and rubbed with each other electron are transferred from on object to another a shown in fig below. Let us consider 1 electron from A gets transferred to B, thus the equivalent charges on the body A is due to only one Proton as effect of 4 electron is cancelled out by 4 protons whereas, The equivalent charge on body B is due to 1 electron as effect of electron is cancelled out by 4 proton. The diagram below is well illustrated to understand the concept.
Thus Body A developed 1 positive charge as it donates electron and body B develops 1 negative charge ad it accept one electron. As this charges are at rest ,the study of such charges are called as electrostatics.
(B) Induction method of charging : The method of charging in which charges are developed on a neutral object without their actual interaction (contact) is called as induction method of charging. Let us understand it with an example.

From the figure above we can see that initially, object A is neutral. A negatively charged body is brought near the body and as soon as the charged object is brought near the body A , the negative charges begin to move away due to force of repulsion and positive charge is moved toward it due to force of attraction. If we connect a conductor to the body A and other end of the conductor is connected to earth all the negative charges flows in the earth and the charges remaining on the body is only positive charges and body is said to be positively charged. The diagram below is well illustrated to understand the concept.

Change Your life: Every people in this world want to be successful. Each individual is abided by the law of nature. The success of each individual is measured in terms of hard work and consistency. The higher the hard work and consistency Read more.
The power of thinking: Changing habit is a cause of time, surrounding and thinking. Every individual have a superpower within them which is the gift of nature. When they know about this power and utilize it in effective way, it leads to miracle Read more.
Be a winner : Every individual is a precious gift by god. Every individual is bestowed with infinite talent within him/her by nature. The human brain is a storehouse of precious collections and this collections is the source to be a winner. Every individual when born start learning new thing, apply it and try to be a best version of himself/herself. Read more
The Key principle to learn anything :Reading Books. Almost all the books in the world have solution for all the problems in the world. So reading books make you active consistence and solve all your problem. Read more.
The 80/20 principle : In our competitive world, each individual have a choice to live a better life, to have more than other. In order to make up with this demand they work harder and harder. But this technique do not yield the expected results, A student learning for 8 hours may not obtain good grades in exam.
You can learn any thing at very low cost from standford university than you might Think. Read More
