IGCSE Physics: Static Electricity | Edexcel Modular | Unit 2 | L13 | Physics only

This lesson covers spec points 2.22P–2.25P — identifying conductors and
insulators, describing charging by friction in terms of electron transfer,
explaining how objects become positively or negatively charged, and describing
the forces between charged objects. Physics only.

PowerPoint includes:
• Retrieval starter reviewing atomic structure and charge from prior learning
• Direct Instruction (I Do) — conductors and insulators distinguished; charging
by friction explained in terms of electron transfer; positive and negative
charge produced by loss and gain of electrons; protons confirmed as fixed;
like charges repel, unlike charges attract; charged objects attract neutral
objects via induction; earthing explained
• Guided Practice (We Do) — explain how a plastic rod becomes charged when
rubbed; state the charge on the cloth; describe the force between two charged
objects in given scenarios
• Independent Practice (You Do) — charging explanations; charge identification
from attraction/repulsion evidence; earthing questions
• Review and Reflect — 3 MCQs and exit ticket

Activity Sheet includes:
• Physics only labelled in header and footer
• 10 exam-style questions covering conductors/insulators, charging by friction,
positive/negative charge, force descriptions and earthing
• Stretch question: neon atom — normal charge, gains electrons, charge on two
such atoms and the force between them
• Full mark scheme for teacher use
