Electrostatics
Effects in Everyday Life
Electric & magnetic effects in every day life Electric phenomena may produce magnetic effects
and magnetic phenomena may produce electric effects
Electromagnetism Study of the effects of electric charges at rest or in
motion (Electromagnetic effects ) Electromagnetic effects can be explained by MWE Electromagnetic interaction Only between those bodies or particles which
have a property called charge Types of interactions (strong, weak, tensile,
adhesive) Definition of charge Brief History of Electromagnetic effects
Brief History
Brief History900 BC – Greek shepherd ‘Magnus’ (a story about
Asia Minor-the region was called as Magnesia)The word magnet has come from Greek word
magnitis lithos meaning magnesian stone- later on called as loadstone - Loadstone effect
600 BC – Greek philosopher Thales (Discovered another material called amber (from Greek word elektron) which when rubbed with wool will attract cat fur) – Amber effect
370 BC – Plato (both amber effect and loadstone effect are related with each other and of the same type)
120 AD – Plutarc (Load stone emits exhaltations which pushes air)
1100 AD – Chinese (magnetic needle pointing north-south)
1550 AD – Carden (amber and load stone do not attract in the same way)
1600 AD – Gilbert (Introduced science of magnetism by experimentation) Introduction of other substances that would attract when rubbed e.g., glass, sulphur, wax crystals etc)
1752 AD – Benjamin Franklin (Kite flying in thunder storm)
1780 AD – Galvani (idea of moving charges)1784 AD – Coulomb (measured the electric force)1792 AD– Volta introduced battery (copper & zinc
separated by material soaked in Brine solution-invented battery)
19th Century – Biot, Savart, Ampere, Oersted, Faraday (relationship between electricity & magnetism)
1864 AD – Maxwell’s contribution & later Hertz experimental evidence
Charges residing on objects explain electrostatic effects and dynamics of charges explain magnetic effects
Engineering Applications – Laser printer, photocopying, Electrostatic paint spraying
Charge-the basic entity of Electromagnetism
Properties of charge Charge is quantized Charge is conserved Existence of two types of charges Plastic rod rubbed with wool----- -ve charge Glass rod rubbed with silk -------- +ve charge
COULOMB’S LAW
Electrostatic force Qualitative analysis – Shifting of electrons is
responsible for electrostatics forceThe net charge of a body is represented by ‘q’Scalar quantityUnits1 C= ------- electrons
Quantitative analysis (measurement of electrostatic force) In order to determine the nature of electrostatic
force, the magnitude and direction of electrostatic force is required to be measured
Experimental arrangements – Torsion balance
Outcomes of the experiment Mathematical expression of Coulomb force
between two point chargesConstant ‘K’Properties of Coulomb forcePrinciple of linear superpositionSignificance of Coulomb’s law
Vector form of Coulomb’s LawExampleAll Examples of Chapter 25 (H-R-K)Problems (25.1 – 25.13)
APPLICATIONS
Coulomb force by continuous charge distribution
In many applications electric forces are exerted by charged objects in the form of rods, plates or solids
Then how the Coulomb’s law can be applied?Procedure to determine Coulomb force
Imagine the division of charge distribution into large number of small charge elements
Consider any one of the charge elementExpress the charge element in terms of charge
density & size of charge element
Treating charge element as point charge and determine the force element
Determination of direction of force elementCalculation of total force
