We examine the pedagogical suitability and a teaching sequence for the concept of charge distribution on the surface of solid bodies and the associated electrical capacity. The article discusses the application of the recently discovered phenomenon of a mosaic structure of charge distribution that emerges on the bodies from friction. Introduction into this phenomenon for first-year students is accompanied by practical implementation so that the students could be prepared for the future implementation activities involving the knowledge of physics. The results of the research show that project-based teaching supplemented by the MIЕ (method of interactive education) strategy as part of both in-class hours and independent study encourages the students to understand the correlation between the micro-distribution of charges and the ways of creating and analyzing charge distribution for practical application. The МIE strategy allows for increasing the capabilities for solving the pressing tasks of physics teaching.
