Key to doing well is keeping up with the volume of work. Stuff comes very fast in this course. Lots of new concepts. You need to work hard and often to keep up.
There’s a rumor that physics 102 is harder than physics 101…..
Start by asking if electric force is so large, why don’t we ever feel it? Copper and wood both made of atoms, both have positive and negative charges, but are electrically very different. Why?

Do the demo first, then show the visualization. Comment on how electroscope works. It’s like VandeGraaff and hair standing on end.

Magnitude – take absolute value sign for charges, only positive sign
Calculate force on electron due to proton
Dipole of water is permanent
This is why water is attracted to ions & why it aligns with respect to ions (depending on charge).
Explains why non-polar molecules will also be attracted to ions via induced dipole
