An electron orbits a proton at a speed of 5.1 x 104 m/s at a radial distance of 5.3 x 1011 m. What is the centripetal acceleration of the electron? Electrostatics: Electric Charges at Rest All matter is electrical in nature What is the kinetic energy of the electron if its mass is 1.7 x 1027 kg? Atoms Neutral atom Objects are charged when they have an excess or deficiency of electrons Ion Positive ion Conductor Negative ion Insulator The smallest charge in nature is the charge found on Does it make sense for an atom or group of atoms to have half an electron? No! Charge is quantized. Charge on any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge 'e' q = net charge = 1 Conservation of Charge Example:Example: q = 8 x 1019 C q = 1.92 x 1019 C In a closed system Charges cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred Example: 2 identical conducting spheres +12 Example: 2 identical conducting spheres 0 +3 7 Why conducting and not insulating for sharing charges? +6 ? Problems: 1. Which of the following net charges could be found on an object? a) 7 elementary charges What is the net charge of an object with b) 1.6 x 1019 elementary charges 5,000 excess electrons? c) 1.8 x 1019 C d) +3.2 x 1019 C 2. A conducting sphere with net charge q = 16 elementary charges is touched by an identical conducting sphere with 0 charge. a) What is the net charge on the conducting sphere in elementary charges? b) What is the net charge on the conducting sphere in Coulombs? 2 Transferring Charge – 3 methods for charging an object Only electrons move when transferring charge. Positively charged objects lose electrons, they do not gain protons 2 – Charging by contact A charged object touches another object. The objects then share the charge. A conducting sphere with charge +8 is brought in contact with an identical sphere which is neutral. What is the net charge on each sphere after contact? Meet the Electroscope – The electroscope was an early invention for detecting the presence of charge. There is a conductor at the top which connects to leaf(s) which will move depending on the charge of the electroscope. 1 – Charging by Friction Both objects begin neutral. When one object is rubbed against the other (friction) electrons are transferred. This occurs because one object has a higher affinity for electrons than the other. Examples: Rubber & Fur Glass & Silk Meet the Electroscope – The electroscope was an early invention for detecting the presence of charge. There is a conductor at the top which connects to leaf(s) which will move depending on the charge of the electroscope. Neutral Electroscope Meet the Electroscope – The electroscope was an early invention for detecting the presence of charge. There is a conductor at the top which connects to leaf(s) which will move depending on the charge of the electroscope. Negatively charged electroscope What will happen to the 2 leafs at the bottom when they have the same negative charge? Positively charged electroscope What will happen to the 2 leafs at the bottom when they have the same negative charge? 3 Meet the Electroscope – The electroscope was an early invention for detecting the presence of charge. There is a conductor at the top which connects to leaf(s) which will move depending on the charge of the electroscope. Grounding – A ground is any large object that can accept or donate electrons. Best ground is the Earth. Grounding an object makes the object neutral 3 – Charging by Induction 3 – Charging by Induction 4 3 – Charging by Induction 3 – Charging by Induction 4. What is the force of gravity between an electron and a proton separated by 0.6 x 1010 m? 5 Electrostatic Force Coulomb’s Law Four Fundamental Forces 1. Strong (nuclear) force – keeps protons in atomic nuclei together 2. Electromagnetism 3. Weak (nuclear) force – responsible for radioactive decay 4. Gravity Electrostatic force studied by Charles Coulomb (France, 1785) Electrostatic force – responsible for: Both gravity and electrostatic force follow an inverse square law 5. What is the electrostatic force between two 1 Coulomb charges separated by 1 m? Unlike gravity, 6. What is the electrostatic force between an electron and a proton, separated by 0.6 x 1010 m? 7. What is the electrostatic force exerted between two charged spheres at a distance of 5 nanometers if the first sphere has a charge of 5 microcoulombs and the second has a charge of 2 microcoulombs? In what direction is the force? How does the magnitude of this force compare to Fg (from the Do Now)? 6 8. When two spheres, each with charge Q, are positioned a distance R apart, they are attracted to one another by a force of magnitude F. By what factor of F would this force change if… a) …one of the charges was tripled, while the other was doubled? 9. Sphere A has an excess of 5 x 1016 electrons. Sphere B has an excess of 6 x 1017 electrons. a)Determine the charge on each sphere in coulombs. b)Calculate the electrostatic force that sphere A exerts on sphere B when they are separated by a distance of 2 x 103 meter. b) …one of the charges was doubled, while the separation distance was tripled? c) …both of the charges were halved, while the separation distance was doubled? 10 d) …one of the charged was doubled, while the separation distance was halved? 10. What is the electrostatic force between a 3 nC object and a 6 nC object separated by 0.5 m? Review: Gravitational field 10 Electric fields: The region in which electrical forces act on a charge The direction of the field is the direction a force acts on a positive test charge (test charge = infinitely small positive charge) Electric field lines 7 Electric Field Example: What is the electric field strength for a 0.1 C charge experiencing a 100 N electrostatic force? 2 Parallel Plates Electric field lines never cross 11.
