Electrostatics Intro

Today we introduced the electrostatic unit by making balloons attract and repel, then talking about why what we did worked. The explanation involves net charge, transfer of electrons, and the fact that like charges repel and unlike charges attract.

Then people started on their homework while I passed out missing assignment reports and took care of assignments people found.

Homework is in two parts:

Chapter 15 Conceptual #1 & 2 - you will turn this in tomorrow
Read Sections 15.1 & 15.2 and take notes. These will NOT be collected.
