Electric Charge
Introduction
Hello there! Welcome to second semester and to this subject. This module will
be a great help in learning more about General Physics 2.
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning material while being an active
learner.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The module is about electric charge and its properties.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. describe charging by rubbing and charging by induction using ray diagram;
2. explain the role of electron transfer in electrostatic charging by rubbing; and
3. describe experiments to show electrostatic charging by induction.
HOW TO LEARN FROM THIS MODULE?
Here’s a simple guide for you in going about the module.
1. Read and follow the instructions very carefully.
2. Take the pretest. It is a simple multiple-choice test provided at the start to
determine how much you know about the content in this module.
3. Be very honest in taking the test so you know how much knowledge you
already have about the topic.
4. Read and understand the lesson.
5. Perform the activities, as these will help you have a better understanding
of the topic.
Did you understand the guidelines in using this module? Great! Now, you are all set
to utilize this module as much as you can. Now remember, if you find it confusing
and challenging, you can always restudy what you have learned.
Goodluck and Have fun!

Quiz 1
Encircle the letter of the correct answer.
1. When two dissimilar materials contact each other some of the electrons in one
material will be drawn into the other material, this effect can be increased by rubbing
the two surfaces together. What charging process is involved?
A. charging by conduction
B. charging by friction
C. charging by induction
D. all of the above
2. A student has a neutrally charged glass rod and a neutrally charged silk cloth.
When the student rubs the silk cloth on the glass rod, the rod acquires a net positive
charge. What is the charge on the silk cloth after the student performs this
experiment?
A. the silk has no charge
B. the silk has a charge that is equal in magnitude to the glass rod’s charge,
but it is negative
C. the silk is positively charged and has a greater magnitude of charge
than the glass rod
D. the silk is negatively charged and has a smaller magnitude of charge
than the glass rod
3. All matters are said to be neutral wherein the numbers of electron and protons are
equal so once charges it do not stay for a long time because of the following factors
except;
A. amount of charge gain
B. presence of polar molecules
C. type of charge
D. type of material
4. Rubber is a nonconducting material that is why it cannot easily conduct heat and
electricity. Which is the best explanation for this situation?
A. it has excess electrons which are loosely bounded with its nuclei so it
can free to move
B. it has a deficiency in electrons which are tightly bounded with their
nuclei so it can not move freely
C. it has few electrons
D. it has no electrons
5. A negatively charged object is brought close to the surface of a conductor, whose
opposite side is then grounded. What kind of charge is left on the conductor’s
surface?
A. neutral
B. negative
C. positive
D. both positive and negative
