1 D'Amato PTHS 2007
Model of charges in materials
According to our model:
All objects contain many negatively charged electrons and positively
charged protons.
In neutral objects (with no net charge) the number of + charges is
equal to the number of – charges and the charges are evenly
distributed.
2 D'Amato PTHS 2007
Model of charges in materials
An object aquires a charge when it gains or loses negative electrons.
Electrons are small and light, and found on the outside of atoms.
The positive charges are carried by protons which normally do not
move. Protons are large and heavy and form the nuclei at the
center of atoms.
Positively charged
Negatively charged

Nature of materials
A characteristic of different materials is their ability to allow internal
negative charges to move. Materials can be broadly divided into
two categories
Conductor Insulator
Observe the behavior of the charges inside each material
4 D'Amato PTHS 2007
What seems to be the biggest difference between
these two types of material?
1) The balance of charges in
the neutral state
2) The way in which equal
charges interact with each
other
3) The amount of movement
in the material’s charges
4) One material does not 0 0 0 0 0
interact with external
negative charges

44 D'Amato PTHS 2007
Observe and explain
Sample explanation:
Charges are balanced and
evenly distributed in the
neutral can and disk
The charged globe creates a
net charge on the can.
Charges move through the
conductor and create the
same net charge on the disk
The disk is repelled from the
can because they have the
D'Amato PTHS 2007
same net charge

Represent and reason
A different type of electroscope has a metal disk on top, connected
to a metal bar with a central indicator that can swivel as shown.
Show how this electroscope would react if a negatively charged
object was brought near without touching
46 D'Amato PTHS 2007
Represent and reason
Negative charges in the electroscope are repelled by the negative
charges in the other object. The lower parts of the scope have a net
negative charge and the indicator is repelled away from the bar
