Charge is quantized. Charge on any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge ‘e’ 1 q = net charge = Example: q = -8 x 10-19 C Example: q = -1.92 x 10-19 C Conservation of Charge In a closed system Charges cannot be created or destroyed; only transferred. Example: 2 identical conducting spheres Example: 2 identical conducting spheres Problems: 1. Which of the following net charges could be found on an object? a) 7 elementary charges b) 1.6 x 10-19 elementary charges c) -1.8 x 10-19 C d) +3.2 x 10-19 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 3. What is the net charge of an object with 5,000 excess electrons? Transferring Charge – 3 methods for charging an object Only electrons move when transferring charge. Positively charged objects lose electrons, they do not gain protons 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 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? 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 Negatively charged Positively Charged 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 Negatively charged object Positively charged object 3 “Be the electron” 3 – Charging by Induction 1. What would happen if a charged object was brought near an electroscope? 2. And then the electroscope is grounded? 3. The ground is disconnected 4. And the charged object is removed What happens to the electroscope? Is it charged? Did it ever touch the original charged object? Where did the charge come from? Charge Polarization Opposite charges ___________ Similar charges ___________ What happens when a charged object is brought near a neutral object? The neutral object is still neutral, 4 4.

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? 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? d) …one of the charged was doubled, while the separation distance was halved? 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. 6 10.
