Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) describe the different types of charging processes.
identify the different types of charges; and describe how objects can be charged in different ways.
MELC Code: (S7LT-IIIj-13)

Polarization

Polarization is the rearrangement of charges within a neutral object when it is placed near a charged
object.

Figure 6. Figure 7.
Arrangement of the charges of Rearrangement of the charges of the can the can
after the charged balloon
was placed near to it

When the charged balloon was placed near the neutral can, the charges in the can were rearranged in
such a way that the negative charges moved towards the edge of the can that was farther from the balloon as
seen in Figure

6 and 7. As a result, the portion of the can closest to the negatively charged balloon will have an excess of
positive charge likewise the portion farthest from the balloon will have a negative charge. But the overall charge
of the can will be neutral. Although the total charge on the can will be zero, the opposite sides will have an
induced charge (a charge produced by charging two objects without actual contact).

Practice Personal Hygiene protocols always. 1


Discharging
The process of removing excess charges on an object is called discharging. When discharging is done
by means of providing a path between the charged object and a ground, the process may be referred to as
grounding.
A ground can be any object that can serve as an “unlimited” source of electrons so that it will be capable of
removing or transferring electrons from or to a charged object in order to neutralize that object. Grounding is
necessary in electrical devices and equipment since it can prevent the build-up of excess charges where it is not
needed.

Figure 8.
Grounding of the can by touching it
By touching the can, a path was provided for the charges to be transferred as seen in Figure 8. This is
an example of grounding. Ideally, the can will be charged. The hand provided a path for negative charges to
move away from the can. Thus, when the hand was removed, the can was left with a net charge. The can has
acquired a net positive charge. The charging process used in this activity is called charging by induction,
where an object can be charged without actual contact to any other charged object.
Charging by Conduction
The behavior of a charged material depends on its ability to allow charges to flow. A material that
permits charges to flow freely is a good electrical conductor. In contrast, insulators are materials that hinder
the free flow of charges.
