Chapter 21: Electric Charge and Electric Field • The nature of electric charge Understanding conservation of electric charge. • How objects become electrically charged. • Coulomb’s law to calculate the electric force between charges. • The distinction between electric force and electric field. • Electric field due to a collection of charges. • How to use the idea of electric field lines to visualize and interpret electric fields. Electric Charge Back in 600 BC, the ancient Greeks has discovered the electric properties of matter. They found that rubbing an amber with a wool makes amber attractive. In this process, the amber acquires an electric charge. We call it is charged. Amber is called “elektron” in Greek language. This is where “electric” word comes from. Electric Charge and Electrostatics The interaction between steady (at rest) charges is called electrostatics. Experiments in Electrostatics Benjamin Franklin (1706‐1790) has called these charges + and – charges. Like charges repel each other, opposite charges attracts each other. Electric Charge and the Structure of Matter All materials are made up of atoms – building blocks of matter ‐ Atoms are consist of neutrons, protons and electrons Electron mass ~2000 times smaller than proton. Electric Charge and the Structure of Matter Because the electron is very weak and loosely bound to the nucleus. In charging process the electrons are being exchanged. The net charge is being conserved. Classification of Atoms according to their charges: Matters are made of atoms – usually found neutral in the nature– Conservation of Electric Charge During any process/reaction in an isolated system, charge remains the same. Only moves from one to another. – usually electrons transferred ‐ One can transfer charge from one matter to another •Transfer with contact – direct– direct charging •Transfer without contact –induction‐ charging with induction •Note: Unit for charge is C (Coulomb) Charge of electron ‐e = ‐1.602 x 10‐19 C Charging with contact / direct charging Glass and Silk Rubber and Fur ‐ ‐ ‐ • During these processes, charges (electrons) are transferred from one to another – charge conserved‐ • This is one way of charging an object – charging with contact ‐ Electrical classification of materials • Materials are classified in three groups according to their electrical properties • Classified in terms of the ability of electrons move through the material – Insulators – rubber, glass, silk, fur, dry wood, etc. • Electrons are bounded to atoms, can not move freely – Conductors –metals: copper, aluminum, silver, iron, etc. • Some fraction of electrons can move freely – Semiconductor – materials between these two categories‐ • Germanium and silicon are most common semiconductors • In a electrified/charged insulator, the charges stays in the charged region. • In a charged conductors, exceeding charges distributed at the surface, remember same charges repel one another. Induction: Charging a Conductor • Consider an uncharged/neutral conducting sphere – Equal amount of + and – charges q=0. • Bring a negatively charged rod near the sphere? – + charges will be attracted and – ones will be repelled • Connect sphere to the ground by using a conducting wire. – One may consider earth as a huge sphere that can provide and give electrons as much as desired. – Some number of the electrons will transferred to the earth. • Now disconnect the sphere from the earth then take the charged rod away. Finally • Conductor becomes positively charged. More protons then the electrons. This process is known as charging by induction. Example Question Question: How many electrons in ‐1.00 C charge? – Charge of electron: e=‐1.602x10‐19 C. # of electrons / C = ‐1.00 C /‐1.602x10‐19 C =6.24x1018. Guess how many electrons in a matter (copper) of volume 1cm3 – Size of atom ≈10‐10m. 29 electron in a copper atom. #of electrons = 29 x (10‐2m )3 /(10‐10m)3 ≈ 1025 Note: Only approximately 1023 of them moves freely. • In a glass‐silk or rubber‐fur experiments only 10‐6 C charge is obtained ≈1012 electrons << 1025 Coulomb’s Law: Force between charged particles • Charles Coulomb (French physicists 1736‐1806) first measured magnitude of electric force between charged particles. (sometimes called also Coulomb force) – Used a fiber wire with a torsion constant similar to Cavendish’s experiment to determine the G. q1q2 F k 2 r 9 2 2 • ke=8.9876x10 N.m /C ~ 9.0 N.m2/C2 ‐ Coulomb constant‐ • This constant also written in the form 1 k – 4 o – o 8.8542 1012 C /N.m permittivity of free space • For Multiple forces, one may use the superposition principle. 2 2 Similarities between Electric / Coulomb and Gravitational Forces q1q2 F k 2 r Coulomb Force q is + or F is attractive or repulsive m1m2 Fg G 2 r Gravitational Force m is only + F is always attractive • Both varies as inverse square of the separation • Experimentally shown that Fe is also a conservative force.

Repulsive or attractive depends on the charges. How do a charge know other charge is there? How do they communicate? In order to answer these problems, we define the concept of “electric field”. Any charge in the space creates a field around it that effects other charges. We define the electric field as the force acting on unit charge. It is a vector quantity. It’s unit is N/C. Pictorial Representation of Electric Field ‐ A Point Charge ‐ In order to determine the electric field due to a point charge particle, we can take a test charge of 1C and scan the region where the charge is located. Positive Charge Negative Charge Mathematical Representation of Electric Field ‐ A Point Charge ‐ Using Coulomb’s Law, we can mathematically determine the force on the unit charge. First define a r unit vector Let’s use the Coulomb’s law now: Direction of the E is in the same direction of r if q is positive. Direction of the E is in opposite direction of r if q is negative. where Page 701 Page 702 Page 702 Electric Field due a Charge Distribution For multiple charges, the electric field at a point is the summation of electric field due each fields (Superposition of Fields of each charges). Example: Field of two charges at point P Page 704 Calculations of Electric Field due to a Continuous Charge Distribution For the point charges it is easy to apply superposition principle For the continuous charge distributions story is a little bit different We need to use integral to count for each charge pieces in the system Charges along a line Charges on a ring or a line Define charge per unit length: Use line integration: ds Charges on an area Charges on a circular or rectangular (plate) area Define charge per unit area : Use area (surface) integration: dA Charges throughout a volume Charges in a sphere or a cylinder Define charge per unit area : Use volume integration: dV Page 705 Page 706 * Example: Electric Field due to a Charged rod A rod of length l has uniform positive charge per unit length and a total charge Q. Calculate the electric field at a point P that is located along axis of the rod and a distance a from one end as shown in the figure. E Page 707 * Note: Comment on getting electric field for infinitely large plate using this result! Page 707 * Electric Field Lines The concept of “electric field” can be understood better with the electric field lines. Electric field lines are imaginary lines drawn in a region that helps us to visualize the electric field in the region Electric field lines tells us about the direction and magnitude (qualitatively) of the electric field in a point. Direction: Example: direction is tangent to the line Magnitude: Depends on the density of field lines in a region. Denser field lines means stronger electric field at the particular point. Electric Field Lines: Multiple Charges For multiple charges the electric field lines are the superposition field lines from all charges Grass Seeds on a Fluid in an Electric Field Experiment: Grass seeds are floating on a insulating fluid (like transformer oils) Two positively charged wires are inserted into fluid. Results and Conclusion: Normally, the grasses are neutral. Grass seeds are insulator like woods. So what happens? Electric field due to charged wires will induce a charge separation (polarization) in the grass seeds – induction ‐ As a consequence, they will line up with the electric fields. Example: Rank the magnitudes of the electric field at points A, B, and C shown in figure below (greatest magnitude first).
