Charged objects can apply a Fnet.Proof?

What happens to the forces as the 2 objects separate?

8

10

In solids,

Charge transferred by e- only.

How can we get positive charge object?

Loss of e-.

Uncharged objects can feel electrostatic force too:

by polarization

11

12

PolarizationAtoms can be polarized by redistributing e-. Polarization is separation of charge not imbalance.

13

Charged balloon causes wall to become polarized.

Pith ball polarization

14

Concept Check: If 2 small objects are attracted to each other and move together, which of the following can be said with confidence?

• 1. They have opposite charges.• 2. They have the same charge.• 3. At least one is charged.• 4. None of the above.

15

16

Conservation Law applies to charge

Although charge ( e-) can be transferred, charge cannot be created or destroyed.

Sum of charges in system remains the same. For polarization the system is the balloon and the wall.

17

2 types of materials.

• Conductors – allow charges to move around – can be polarized.

• Insulators – hold excess charge in place – hard to polarize.

18

Conductors – materials that allow e- to move freely often redistribute charge.

Metals are good conductors.

19

Metal conductors distribute charge uniformly.

20

Insulators – charges do not move freely. Tend to stay concentrated

in one spot on object.

21

What’s happening here?

22

Polarization produces only a surface charge. Try at home.

23

3 ways of Charging Objects:

• 1. Friction – rub 2 neutral objects together.

• 2. Conduction - Contact with charged object.

• 3. Induction – by bringing charged object in vicinity of neutral conductor.

24

Friction

Works well for insulators.

Do objects get same or opposite charge?

Opposite!

Conduction

• Charges transfer by touching charged object to neutral one.

• Good for conductors.

26

Conduction: touch charged object to neutral object.

Do objects get same or opposite charge?

SAME!

Why you get a shock.

• Charge yourself transfer e- either to or from your body to neutralize your charge. Always accompanied by E release.

Sharing of Charge among conductors

34

Conductors will share charge equally if they are in contact.

Total charge 3 – 6 – 9 = - 12

They will share the total charge so divide:

Why do the spheres need to touch. Why don’t charges jump from one to the other without

them touching?

41

42

Robert Millikan found charge is quantized. There is a smallest unit of charge.

Charge can only exist in whole number integers of the charge on 1e-. Cannot have in between numbers.

Can an object have a charge of 3.53 x 10-19C?

• No.

• 3.53 x 10-19C ÷ 1.6 x 10-19 C = 2.2.

• Charges must be whole number integrals of 1.6 x 10-19 C .

43

44

Units of charge = coulombs (C) Charge on e- is -1.6 x 10-19 C

Charge on p+ is +1.6 x 10-19 C

or can consider fundamental units e- has charge –1p+ has charge +1

45

It takes 6.25 x 1018 elementary charges (e- or p+) to carry 1 C of charge.

Take the inverse of 1.6 x 10-19C.

2. What would be the charge on an object with 2.2 x 1015 excess electrons?

Electric Field (E) defined as:The force and direction a small positive “test” charge feels in presence of field created by a larger charge Q.

E = F/q.

E = Electric Field (N/C)F is force on test charge (N).q is amt of charge on test charge (C).

Ex 1: A charge of 2 C feels a force of 10 N in an electric field. What is the field strength at that point.

E = F/q. = 10 N

2 C

E = 5 N/C

 Ex 2: How much force does a test charge with + 0.4 C feel in a field of 8 N/C?

• E = Fe/q

• Fe = qE

• 0.4 C x 8 N/C = 3.2 N.

62

Ex 3. An electron is placed in a field of 100 N/C.

a. What is the force on the electron?

b. What is the acceleration of the electron?

• qE = F• 1.6 x 10-17 N• a = Fnet/m

• 1.8 x 1013 m/s2.63

64

Electric Field Strength is Inversely Proportional to Distance Around a

Point Charge.

Field Lines represent electric fields.

Electric field lines show the force that a small positive test charge feels in a field created by a much larger charge. They represent the strength and direction of the field.

75

Field Between Parallel Plates

How would the strength of the field vary if a charge moves from the + to the – plate?

Rules:

• Fields have strength/intensity and direction.

• Density/spacing of lines shows strength.

• Direction arrows determined by an imaginary + test charge.

• Electric Field lines don’t touch, cross, or angle sharply.

• Lines start on + end on neg.76

Electric field due to more than one charge.

Field is stronger near the larger charge. Density of lines show the increased

strength.

E field due to more than one charge.

Force due to more than one charge is the vector sum of all the forces on a charged particle.

Electrostatic Equilibrium

Fields produced by more that a single charge will have spots where the forces on a charge in the field will be balanced.

F net = 0.

Work & EnergyElectric Potential

Intro to Potential Difference /Voltage Difference.

• 1. Define gravitational PE.

• 2. How is Energy related to work. Explain.

82

• Coulomb’s Law between 2 charged objects:

Fe = kq1q2.

r 2

• As region of space.• Electric Field

Fe = qE

83

We discussed Force due to charges in 2 ways.

• What is the definition of Energy?• Things that have E can do work.• When work is done on an object it gains

PE (+W) .• When work is done by an object it loses

PE (-W) .

84

Do Charged particles in an electric field can have Energy?

Gravitational FieldEvery Height associated with dif PEg.

85

Voltage Potential

86

Every point associated with dif PEe.

It takes work to move charges in a field.

87

Where does a positive test charge have more PE – close to or far from a large positive sphere?

++

88

The amt of work done on every coulomb of charge moving it is called electric potential, V.

V = W/q. W work in Jq is charge in C.V is Volts = J/C.

V defines the potential at P at a point.

P is like a particular height in a gravity field.

Ex 1. It takes 150 x 10-6 J to move a 2.0 mC charge to point P. What is the electric potential (voltage) at P?

V = W/q = 150 x 10-6J = 75 V

2 x 10-6C

How much PE did every C of charge gain?

75 J

To find PE or work done by E field:

Since W = DPE and V = W/q:

PE elc = qV also W = qV.

PE – JoulesQ – CoulombsV = Volts

Ex 2. The electric potential at point P is 12.0 V.

A 3C charge is placed at P. What is the PE of q at P?

PE = W = qV

(3 C)(12 V) = 36 J

92

Ex 2b. If q = -2 C is moved to a point P = 12 V, What is the PE of q?

DPE = qV

• (-2 C)(12 V) = -24 J

• q lost PE, the field did work on it. Think of the charge as falling.

Potential DifferenceVolage Dif betw 2 points in field ~ DheightEnergy Dif involves moving charge in field = qDV

A = 13 VB = 28 V

pd = 28V – 13V = 15 V.

94

Potential Difference in a Uniform Field.

The field intensity F/q between plates is constant, the work done (Fd) to move a charge

between plates is constant, the potential difference (voltage) is constant.

Ex 3: What work must be done to move a +5 mC charge from the – to the + plate in the 250 V pd across plates?

W = q DV = (5 x 10-6C)(250 J/C - 0)

= 1.25 x 10-3J.

250 V

It helps to assume 1 plate is 0, the other is 250 Volts.

250 0 V

Natural Potential Difference “Lightning”

Potential Dif/Voltage

• Provides “push” to move the charge, q.• Moving charge q, in field changes its PEelc.

• To move q to higher PE, do work on charge from outside.

• To move q, to lower PE, work done by E on charge.

Energy of Moving Charges in Fields.

• As a charge moves thru a field, its total E (the SE) is constant. By consv of Energy.

• If a charges “falls” toward the oppositely charged plate its PEelc decreases, What increases?

KE

104

Is acceleration between parallel plates uniform? Explain.

• Work done by field will accelerate charge: W = DKE = qV.

• So: before after• ET = ET .

How can I calculate PE of a mass in a gravity field?

• PEg = mgh

105

How can I calculate PE of a charge q in an Electric field?

• PEelc = qV.

New Energy unit electron-volt

106

107

The electron-volt: tiny unit of work & E.

For very small changes in PEelc (on the order of 10-19J) unit eV is used.

The electron-volt, eV, is the work & E required to push 1 e- (or p+) through a voltage of 1V.

W = qV = (1.6 x 10-19 C)(1V) = 1.6 x 10-19 J = eV.

1.6 x 10-19 J = eV

108

If 1 e- is pushed across 1V then (1e)(1V)= 1 eV of work is done.

If a charge of 2e- is pushed across a 1V pd then (2e )(1V) = 2eV.

If 2e- pushed across 6V then work is 12 eV.

To find eV given elementary charges:

(# e )(# V ) = eV.

109

36 eV

What if 3e- move across 12 V?

To find eV (# elm charges) (voltage)

1. How many joules of energy are represented by 6.9 x 1029 eV.

6.9 x 1029 eV x 1. 6 x 10-19 J. = 1.1 x 1011 J

eV

111

Ex 2. A field does 3.3 x 10-7 J of work on an e-. How many eV is that?

• 3.3 x 10-7 J x 1eV = 2.1 x 1012 eV

• 1.6 x 10-19 J

112

Ex 3: A proton is accelerated in a 100 V pd. How much work is done in eV?

• W = qV but if we use elem charge, we can just multiply by the voltage.

• (1 p+)(100 V) = 100 eV

113

Summery Voltage or Electric Potential

V = Wk per Coulomb to bring a charged particle to point in field from infinity.

Potential / Voltage difference Wk per Coulomb to move charge between two

points at different potentials.

Charges in field have PEelc.High PE charge near point with same charge.

Low PE charge near point with opposite charge.
