Electric Forces • Coulomb’s Law F1on 2 q1q2 rˆ 2 4o r 1 F1on2 r F2on1 q1 r q2 Group Problems What is the force (magnitude and direction) on a -10 mC charge located at x = 4 m from a 5 mC charge at the origin? Steps: a. Draw quick sketch (labeled with info) b. Decide on relevant idea/theory/equation and make correspondence of variables – what is given, what is unknown – can you solve for unknowns? c. Do the math – be sure to answer completely and to put units d. Check answer if at all possible 1. 2. Repeat the previous problem when the 5 mC charge is located at x = 1 m and is replaced with a -5 mC charge. 3. What is the force on a charge Q located at x1 from a charge q located at x2? Try to get a general expression that works for all values of the variables. Superposition of Forces Fnet Fi • • • • Example Conductors vs Insulators Semiconductors Action at a Distance Group Problems 1. Four charges, all of magnitude Q, lie at the corners of a square with sides of length L. If the top two charges are positive and the bottom two are negative, what is the direction of the force on a positive charge q located at the center of the square? 2. Find the net force on this charge in terms of the variables given. Class Problem • Three charges are arrayed on a line as Q -q Q shown. 1 2 x 3x a) Find the force on –q in terms of x. b) What ratio Q2/Q1 results in F = 0 on –q?

Efield mapping Group Problems 1. Two charges +Q and –Q lie on the y-axis at +L and –L, respectively. Find the E field at a distance x along the x-axis. Simplify this in the case when x>> L. 2. Suppose the two charges in the previous problem (±Q) lie along the x-axis at ±L, respectively. Find the E field a distance x along the x-axis. 3. Harder: simplify this again when x>>L (need the fact that (1 + )-2 ~ 1-2 for <<1) Electrophoresis • • • • Physics Macromolecular charges Problems Modern Methods - PAGE - Isoelectric focusing anode ++++++++ Positive charge Decreasing pH Isoelectric point Negative charge ------------cathode
