The Electrostatic Force: Coulomb’s Law
• Coulomb measured how the
electrostatic force varies with
distance and quantity of charge.
– Since the electrostatic force is so
weak, he had to develop special
techniques, involving a torsion
balance.
– The degree of twist of the wire
measures the repulsive force
between the two charges.
• Determining the amount of charge
on the balls was more difficult.

Coulomb’s Law: Amounts of Charge
•
Although he could not measure absolute quantities of charge
on the balls, Coulomb was able to measure the effects due to
different relative amounts of charge.
– By bringing two identical metal balls into contact, one charged
and the other initially uncharged, Coulomb knew he had equal
amounts of charge on both balls.
– By repeating the process, he could get a ball with exactly half that
charge, or one-fourth, etc.
– He could then measure
how the strength of the
electrostatic force varied
when the amount of
charge was doubled,
quadrupled, etc., in
addition to how the force
varied
with distance

– If we double the distance between the charges, the force falls
to one-fourth of the original.
– The gravitational force depends on the masses, and the
electrostatic force depends on the charges.
– Gravity is always attractive; there is no such thing as negative

mass.
– Gravity is much weaker than the electrostatic force.
– Introduction
Physicists
are still trying to understand the reasons for the

– The search for a unified field theory that would explain the

The Electric Field
• How do the charges exert forces on each other, when
they are not even touching?
– The concept of an electric field describes how one
charge affects the space around it, which then exerts a
force on another charge.
– The electric field at a given point in space is the electric
force per unit positive charge that would be exerted on
a charge if it were placed at that point.

Forces and the Electric Field
• We can then use the electric field to find the force
on any other charge placed at that point:
– If the charge q is negative, the minus sign indicates that
the direction of the force on a negative charge is opposite
to the direction of the field.
– The direction of the electric field is the direction of the
force exerted on a positive test charge.
– We can talk about the field at a point in space even if there

• The electrostatic force is a conservative force, which means we
can define an electrostatic potential energy.
– We can therefore define electric potential or voltage.

plates containing equal

produce a uniform
electric field between the
plates.

Electric Potential
• A positive test charge placed in the uniform electric field will
experience an electrostatic force in the direction of the
electric field.
• An external force F, equal in magnitude to the electrostatic
force qE, will move the charge q a distance d in the uniform
field.
• The external force does work
on the charge and increases the
potential energy of the charge.
• The work done by the external
force is qEd, the force times the
distance.
• This is equal to the increase in
potential energy of the charge:
Introduction Section 0 Lecture 1 Slide
PE = qEd.
• This is analogous to what
happens when a mass m is lifted
against the gravitational force.

Relation between Electric Potential and Electric Field
• The potential energy of a positive charge increases
when we move it against the field.
– For a uniform electric field, there is a simple relationship
between the magnitude of the electric field and the change
in electric potential: V = Ed.
• For non-uniform fields, the
relationship is more
complicated, but the electric
potential always increases
most rapidly in the direction
opposite to the electric field.

What is lightning?
• Most thunderclouds generate a separation of charge
resulting in a net positive charge near the top and a net
negative charge near the bottom.
• The charge separation produces strong electric fields in
the cloud as well as between the cloud and earth.
• Since moist earth is a reasonably good conductor, a
positive charge is induced on the surface of the earth
below the cloud.

• The electric field generated can be several thousand volts per
meter; the potential difference between the cloud’s base and the
earth can easily be several million volts!
• This creates an initial flow of charge (the “leader”) along a path
that offers the best conducting properties over the shortest
distance.
• The leader ionizes some of
the atoms in the air along that
path.
• The following strokes all take
place along this same path in
rapid succession.
• The heating and ionizing
