Electric Charge• protons have positive (+) charge• electrons have negative (–) charge• opposite charges attract; like charges repel• charge is always conserved (cannot be destroyed)• charge (q) is measured in coulombs (C)
Charles Augustin Coulomb1736 - 1806

Transfer of Electric Charge
• charges move freely through conductors (typically metals)
• charges do not move freely in insulators (most other solids)
Electric charge can be transferred 3 ways:• contact• induction• polarization

Conductors in Electrostatic Equilibrium
electrostatic equilibrium: no net motion of charge(a) The total electric field inside a conductor equals zero.(b) Excess charge resides on the surface.(c) E-field lines extend perpendicular to the surface.(d) Charge accumulates at points.

EPE Problems

• What is the change in EPE if an electron is moved in the same direction?

• voltage (V) is EPE per charge• 1 volt = 1 J/C• measured with a voltmeter or multimeter• voltage is like “electric pressure”

Voltage Problems
What voltage exists in a 3.5 x10-6 N/C electric field between two points that are 0.25 m apart?

Capacitors
• Capacitors store EPE between two closely-spaced conductors that are separated by an insulator.
• Capacitance is measured in farads (F). 1 F = 1 C/V

Electric Current
Electric charges will flow between areas of different electric potential (voltage)
• electric current (I): a flow of electric charge• 1 ampere (A) = 1 C/s• measured with an ammeter• although electrons typically flow, current is defined as direction of positive flow (+ → –)• drift speed of e– in Cu at 10 A is only 0.00025 m/s• 0.005 A is painful and 0.070 A can kill you

Electric Resistance
• resistance (R): resistance to electron flow• measured in Ohms (Ω)• V ↑, I ↑• R ↑, I ↓

R
A 2400-Ω resistor is attached to a 12-V power source. What is the current through the wire?

AC/DC• alternating current: electric field reverses periodically, current alternates direction (60 hz in USA)
• direct current: field is constant, current is constant• batteries produce DC• electric generators can make AC or DC
