Charging by ContactCharging by Contact• Charging by contact occurs as the result of
one object already being charged.• For example, after you have crossed a
carpeted floor, your body may be negatively charged. The door knob is usually uncharged.
• Your body then shares the electric charge with the doorknob through “contact”.
• Actually, your hand does not even get to touch the doorknob before the charge begins to transfer in the form of a spark.

Charging by ContactCharging by ContactThink about it!!!• Why would we have to wear special shoes
and clothes in:• A coal mine?• A hospital operating theatre?• Parts of an oil refinery?

Insulators and ConductorsInsulators and Conductors
• In order to use electricity to our advantage, we need both insulators and conductors.
• An insulator is a substance which slows the free movement of electrons from atom to atom.
• A conductor is a substance in which electrons can move freely from one atom to another.

Insulators and ConductorsInsulators and Conductors
• Since insulators do not allow the free movement of electrons, they can encourage the build up of static charge on the surface.
• On the other hand, since conductors such as copper allow the free movement of electrons, a static charge can never build up.
