Physics 202, Lecture 2 Today s Topics Electric Force and Electric Fields Electric Charges and Electric Forces Coulomb's Law Physical Field The Electric Field Electric Field Lines Motion of Charged Particle in Electric Field Demo: Two Types of Electric Charges Opposite signs attract Like signs repel Properties of Electric Charges 2+1 types: positive, negative (+neutral). Unit: Coulomb (C). 1 C= charge of 6.24x1018 protons. Electric charge is quantized: q=±Ne, e=1.602x10-19 C Building blocks of matters: Charge (C) Electron Proton Neutron -e=-1.602x10-19 +e=+1.602x10-19 0 Mass (kg) 9.11x10-31 1.673x10-27 1.675x10-27 Electric charge is conserved: charges can be moved around, but the total charge remains the same. For deep thinkers: Why electrons and protons have the same electric charge? Electric Force And Coulomb s Law Electric forces exist between two charged particles The direction of electric force depends on the signs of the charges: forces between opposite sign charges are attractive forces between like sign charges are repulsive + - - + + + - - The magnitude of the electric forces for point charges q1 q2 F12 = F21 = ke 2 r (Coulomb s Law) Coulomb Constant: ke = 8.987x109Nm2/C2 = 1/(4πε0) ε0: permitivity of free space Numeric Examples: Electric Force Is Strong Electric force between two 1C charges 1 meter apart: F=8.99x109N Proton and electron in a hydrogen atom: qelectron= -1.6x10-19 C, qproton= 1.6x10-19 C, r=5.3x10-11m à Electric force F= 8.2 x10-8 N. This force is large: Compared to the mass of proton: 1.673x10-27 kg Compared to the gravitational forces between them: FG= 3.6x10-47N (recall: FG=Gm1m2/r2) Four fundamental forces: Strong > Electromagnetic > Weak >> Gravitational Coulomb s Law in Vector Form q1q2 E.

Let F2 denotes the force on q2 (exerted by q1), and F1 denotes the force on q1 (exerted by q2). Which of the following relationship is true? F1=5F2 F1=-5F2 F2=-5F1 F1=-F2 Properties of the Electric Force It is one of four fundamental forces: Strong >Electromagnetic > weak >> gravity It is proportional to 1/r2 : double r à ¼ F Its direction is charge sign dependent: like signà repulsive, opposite sign à attractive It is a conservative force.

Field: A physical quantity which has a physical value* at each point in space (i.e. a distribution). Examples of physical fields: temperature, wind speed, electric field, magnetic field, … In this course, we consider only scalar and vector forms of physical quantities. Example of Scalar and Vector Fields Temperature (scalar) Wind speed (vector) Measurement can be made at any point on the map. The Coulomb s Law Revisited Original (Coulomb s) view of electric force: q1 directly applies an electric force on q2 q1q2 F12 = Ke 2 r̂12 r Field view of electric force: q1 creates an electric field E around it The electric field E applies a force on q2 q1 F2 = Ke 2 rˆ12 q2 = E q2 r E In this field view: q1: source charge q2: test charge E independent of q2 Electric Field and Electric Force r q0 F = E q = Ke 2 rˆ q q r q0 E = Ke 2 rˆ r q0 q0: source charge E: field by q0 q: test charge F = qE force on q by E 12 Visualization of Electric Field: Field Lines Use of field lines is a convenient way to visualize electric fields Simple rules for drawing field lines: line direction: direction of E vector line density: relative strength of E.
