CHAPTER 17 Electric Charge & Stuff A Slide Like This Every Day Today we begin chapter 17 – Electric Charge, Coulombs Law and the Electric Field There will be NO QUIZ this week. Clicker use will begin on Friday. Bring your i-clicker to class every session Bring a scientific calculator ($13.00 – COSTCO) If you have your clicker with you, you may use it today. There WILL be a Quiz next Friday Probable First Observation Electricity Idiot! If lightening had actually traveled down the kite string, old Ben Franklin would have been toast! Probably never happened, but good story! A Quick Experiment Allowable Predictions (Use your clicker if you have one.) A. B. C. D. Rods will attract each other Rods will repel each other Nothing will happen Something not listed above will happen Experiment #1 motion Rubber rod Pivot Rubber rod A. B. C. D. Rods will attract each other Rods will repel each other Nothing will happen Something not listed above will happen Experiment #2 Rubber rubbed with skin of dead rabbit Pivot Rubber rubbed with skin of dead rabbit A. B. C. D. Rods will attract each other Rods will repel each other Nothing will happen Something not listed above will happen The charges on the two rods are .. A. B. C. D. Since we treated both rods in the same way, they should be of the same type ……. different types I have no idea what you are asking for. Leave me alone … I’m napping! If you rubbed the rods longer and/or harder, do you think the effect that you see would be A. B. C. Stronger Weaker The same If the two rods are brought closer together, the force acting between them will get … A. B. C. Stronger Weaker The same Definition of sorts We DEFINE the “stuff” that we put on the rods by the rubbing process as CHARGE. We will try to understand what charge is and how it behaves. We add to the properties of materials: Mass Charge Experiment #3 Glass rubbed with wool Pivot Glass rubbed with wool A. B. C. D. Rods will attract each other Rods will repel each other Nothing will happen Something not listed above will happen Experiment #4 Rubber rubbed with skin of dead rabbit Pivot Glass rubbed with wool 1. 2. 3. 4. Rods will attract each other Rods will repel each other Nothing will happen Something not listed above will happen What’s Going On? All of these effects involve rubbing two surfaces together. Or pulling two surfaces apart. Something has “happened “to each of these objects. These objects have a new PROPERTY Other properties are mass, color We call this NEW PROPERTY .………. ………CHARGE. There seems to be two types of charge. We call these two types of charge Positive Negative An object without either a (+) or (-) charge is referred to as being NEUTRAL. Example - Tape Separation An Example Effect of Charge We have also observed that there must be TWO kinds of charge. Call these two types positive (+) negative(-) We “define” the charge that winds up on the rubber rod when rubbed by the dead cat to be NEGATIVE. The charge on the glass rod or the dead cat is consequently defined as POSITIVE. Old Ben screwed up more than once!! ++++++++++------------+++---++---+-++- From whence this charge??? Easily Removed + AXON Signal propagation in neurons. Neurons are components of the nervous system of the body that transmit signals as electrical impulses travel along their length. These impulses propagate when charge suddenly rushes into and then out of a part of the neutron called an axon. Measurements have shown that, during the inflow part of this 101111 Na Na++ (sodium ions) per meter, each with charge +e cycle, approximately 5.6 10 enter the axon. How many coulombs of charge enter a 1.5 cm length of the axon during this process? Materials Two kinds of materials: Insulators Electrons and Protons are tightly bound to their positions. Hard to move them around. Conductors Electrons are easily removed and moved around. Electrons are said to be MOBILE charges. There are other kinds of materials that we will not discuss: semiconductors, semi-metals What about a charged rod and a piece of wooden dowel?? A. B. C. D. Rods will attract each other Rods will repel each other Nothing will happen Something not listed above will happen Neutral (Conducting) Object POLARIZATION Positive charge attracts negative charges. Rod becomes “polarized. Negative end is closer to positive charge Distance effect causes attraction. Contact Transfer Q/2 Q/2 Q A Question Two iron spheres contain excess charge, one positive and the other negative. (a) Show how the charges are arranged on these spheres if they are very far from each other. (b) If the spheres are now brought close to each other, but do not touch, sketch how the charges will be distributed on their surfaces. (c) In part (b), show how the charges would be distributed if both spheres were negative. Ways to charge an object Rubbing or bond breaking (same thing) Transfer Direct transfer Polarization Induction Quickie: How many kinds of charge are there? A. Two: +,B. Three: +,-.neutral Induction Polarize Ground Remove Ground Positive ! Balloon Physics Same as before: Polarization Bonding! WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TWO SURFACES TOUCH OR RUB? The Triboelectric Series When two of the following materials are rubbed together under ordinary circumstances, the top listed material becomes positively charged and the lower listed material becomes negatively charged. No! No! No! No! MORE POSITIVE rabbit's fur glass mica nylon wool cat's fur silk paper cotton wood acrylic cellophane tape polystyrene polyethylene rubber balloon saran wrap MORE NEGATIVE SUMMARY: So far we have found? There are TWO types of charge. Positive Negative Like Charges Attract Un-Like charges repel The force between charges increases as they are brought closer together. This charge separation results from chemical bonds which are severed. Getting down to business: We will discuss the inverse square law that describes how electric charges interact via forces. This is COULOMB’S LAW We will discuss the FACT that Coulomb's law is a VECTOR equation. We will add forces acting on a charge from an assembly of other charges. We will discuss the concept of FLUX and use it to “derive” a useful law for continuous distributions of charge with high symmetry. This is Gauss’s LAW Forces Between Charges The force between charges is along the line between them. The direction depends on the type of charges Like Charges Repel Unlike Charges Attract The Magnitude of the force is proportional to the inverse square of the distance between the charges. Coulomb’s Law The magnitude F of the force that each of two point charges q1 and q2 a distance r apart exerts on the other is directly proportional to the product of charges (q1q2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them (r2). The relationship is expressed symbolically as F k q1q2 r 2 . This relationship is called Coulomb’s law.

What is the magnitude of the force F on charge Q? +12 nC 1.6 × 10-4 N THE ELECTRIC FIELD Fields Imagine an object is placed at a particular point in space. When placed there, the object experiences a force F. We may not know WHY there is a force on the object, although we usually will. Suppose further that if we double some property of the object (mass, charge, …) then the force is found to double as well. Then the object is said to be in a force field. The strength of the field (field strength) is defined as the ratio of the force to the property that we are dealing with. Example – Gravitational Field. Property is MASS (m). Force is mg. Field strength is defined as Force/Property F mg Gravitatio nal Field Strength Force Gravitatio nal Force mg g Property mass m The Gravitational Field That We Live In. M m mg Mg Properties of a FORCE FIELD It is a property of the position in space. There is a cause but that cause may not be known. The force on an object is usually proportional to some property of an object which is placed into the field. Mysterious Force F Electric Field If a charge Q is in an electric field E then it will experience a force F. The Electric Field is defined as the force per unit charge at the point. Electric fields are caused by charges and consequently we can use Coulombs law to calculate it. For multiple charges, add the fields as VECTORS.

In equilibrium, all charges are a rest. If they are at rest, they aren’t moving! If they aren’t moving, there is no net force on them. If there is no net force on them, the electric field must be zero. THE ELECTRIC FIELD INSIDE A CONDUCTOR IS ZERO! More on Conductors Charge cannot reside in the volume of a conductor because it would repel other charges in the volume which would move and constitute a current. This is not allowed. Charge can’t “fall out” of a conductor. Isolated Conductor Electric Field is ZERO in the interior of a conductor. Gauss’ law on surface shown Also says that the enclosed Charge must be ZERO. Again, all charge on a Conductor must reside on The SURFACE. Charged Conductors Charge Must reside on the SURFACE - E=0 - - s Very SMALL Gaussian Surface E sA EA 0 or s E 0 Isolated (Charged) Conductor with a HOLE in it. E=0 everywhere inside the conductor. So Q (total) =0 inside the hole Including the surface. A Spherical Conducting Shell with A Charge Inside. So much for Mr. Coulomb!
