Electrification of tel. Experiments illustrating the phenomenon of electrification of bodies. Two kinds of electric charges. Interaction of charged bodies. Explanation of the phenomenon of electrification based on the theory of the structure of the atom.

When bodies interact, charges are exchanged. This is called electrification. This interaction goes like this:

In order for the body to become electrified, it is necessary to bring it closer to another charged body to the maximum distance, that is, to touch it. Then, under the action of Coulomb forces, part of the charged particles will move to the surface of the charged object.

In nature, there are two kinds of electric charges – positive and negative (protons – positive, electrons – negative)

The most common way of electrifying bodies in nature is friction. Most often, air friction occurs when it comes into contact with solid or liquid substances. As a result of this electrification, lightning discharges occur.
