    Static electricity is produced when charges do not flow on a body, such as through friction. Current electricity occurs when charges flow through a conductor. The document discusses the different types of electricity, including static electricity, current electricity, and the factors that influence them such as capacitance. It defines key concepts like voltage, resistance, and circuits.

    Types of Electricity

    Static Electricity: When Current Electricity: When a


    the charges on a body charges flow through a
    do not flow , called conductor, it is known as
    static electricity current electricity.
    Static Electricity
    • According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be
    created nor be destroyed but can be converted from one form to
    another.
    • When it is produced by friction, mechanical energy is converted into
    electrical energy.
    • When it is produced in the dry cells, chemical energy is converted into
    electrical energy, etc.

    A charged Body and its Electric Field
    • The charged body is continually seeking to attain its neutral stage. It
    will differ for positive and negative charge bodies.

    This phenomenon creates zone


    of influence

    area in which the charged


    body has an effect
    PROPERTIES OF LINE OF FORCE

    1.Lines of force surrounding an isolated charged


    body are straight.
    2.Lines of force repel one another.
    3.Lines of force pass more easily through
    conductors than through insulators.
    4.Lines of force concentrate on that part of the
    surface of a charged body nearest to another
    object over which they can exert an influence.
    Potential And Capacitance
     The electrical potential of body is the electrical condition of that
    body when compared to the neutral potential of the earth.
     Bodies with an excess of electrons are called negative, bodies
    deficient in electrons are called positive.
     Unit is volt, conveniently considered as indicating the repelling
    power between like charges……high potential means a strong
    repelling power.
     The magnitude of the potential depends on the quantity of
    electricity with which the object is charged, i.e. the number of
    electrons gained or lost and the capacitance of the object.
     The quantity of electricity is measured in coulombs, a coulomb
    being euaivalent to 6.26 1018 electron charges
    Capacitance
    • It is the ability of an object to hold an electrical
    charge and it depends on the materials and the
    surface area of the body.
    • Inverse relationship between capacitance and
    potential.
    q=CV
    • Unit of capacitance is microfarad (1 µF=106 F)
    Factors affecting the capacity of conductor:
    • Area of conductor
    • Presence of any conductor nearby
    • Medium around the conductor
    Current electricity
    • When charge flow through a conductor, the study of this is known as
    current electricity
    • And the flow of charge in conductor is known as electric current.
    • Essential for the production of electric current are:
    • Potential Diffrence: 1. Potential Difference
    When two similar bodies charged
    2. Pathway withwhich
    along different quantities
    of electricity , potential difference
    Current can move develops.
    ForceCharged
    producing this movement
    particles will move from more positive or negative
    is called an ELECTROMOTIVE
    to less positive or negative.
    FORCE (EMF)
    CONTD……………
    • To sustain a current flow some means of maintaining the PD between
    the ends of the circuit is essential.
    • The greater the PD, the greater the EMF. Both are measured in volts.
    • As fast as electron move away from the negative end of the
    conductor, they are replaced by others from generators, while those
    which reach the positive end are drawn away by generator.
    • Thus the potential difference is maintained and current continues to
    flow.
    • Electric Current= Total Charge flowing  Time taken (I=q  t)
    • Unit is Ampere.
