3. • Inside the atom are even tinier particles.
• Some of them have positive electrical charge (+)
• Others have a negative electrical charge (-)
4. The (+) and (-) charges are like the north pole and south pole
of a magnet.
North pole and north pole = repel
South pole and south pole = repel
Like poles repel ( go away ) from each other.
5. The (+) and (-) charges are like the north pole and south pole
of a magnet.
North pole and south pole = attract
Opposite poles ( attract ) pull each other.
6. ( + ) and ( + ) = repel
( - ) and ( - ) = repel
( + ) and ( - ) = attract
( - ) and ( + ) = attract
15. What happens when you hold the
negatively charged balloon near a wall?
The (-) charge of the balloon repels the (-) charge of the wall and
attracts the (+) charge of the wall.
This pull makes the balloon stick to the wall.

18. How have you experienced static
electricity?
1-When we walk across a carpet, negative charges
from the carpet goes onto you.
2-Your body is now buildup of negative charges.
19. The negative charges are kept on our body
until we touch something and then :
How have you experienced static
electricity?
20. The movement of the charges is called discharge.
The shock that you feel is the fast movement
of negative charges from your body to
another object.

21. Not all discharge of static electricity result
in small shocks…..
lightning
22. Lightning is a discharge of static electricity
during a storm.
24. - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Storm cloud
Those who got the negative charges moves to
the bottom of the cloud
+ + + + + + + + + +
+ + + + +
25. If the build up of negative charges gets large
enough, the charges jump to the ground as
lightning
26. Experiments
• Rub a balloon with your hair and stick it to the wall.
• Rub a ruler with your hair and stick it to a paper.
