Atomic Structure
16.1 Static Electricity; Electric Charge
and Its Conservation
Objects can be charged by rubbing
Triboelectric Series
• Friction can cause electrons to transfer
from one material to another
• Different materials have a different degree
of attraction for electrons
• The triboelectric series determines which
materials have a greater attraction.
• When two materials are rubbed together,
the one with the higher attraction will end
up getting some of the electrons from the
other material
Triboelectric Series
If two materials are rubbed together, the one that is higher in
the series will give up electrons and become more positive.

Question
• If fur is rubbed on glass, will the glass
become positively charged or negatively
charged?
• Glass – positive
• Fur -negative
16.1 Static Electricity;
Electric Charge and Its
Conservation
Charge comes in two
types, positive and
negative; like charges
repel and opposite
charges attract
Interaction Between Charged
and Neutral Objects
• Any charged object - whether positively
charged or negatively charged - will have
an attractive interaction with a neutral
object.
16.1 Static Electricity; Electric Charge
and Its Conservation
Electric charge is conserved – the
arithmetic sum of the total charge cannot
change in any interaction.
16.2 Electric Charge in the Atom
Atom:
Nucleus (small,
massive, positive
charge)
Electron cloud (large,
very low density,
negative charge)
16.2 Electric Charge in the Atom
Atom is electrically neutral.
Rubbing charges objects by moving electrons
from one to the other.
16.2 Electric Charge in the Atom
Polar molecule: neutral overall, but charge not
evenly distributed
16.3 Insulators and Conductors
Conductor:
Insulator:
Charge flows freely
Almost no charge flows
Metals
Most other materials
Some materials are semiconductors.
How Charge Is Transferred
• Objects can be charged by rubbing
• Metal objects can be charged by
conduction
• Metal objects can be charged by
• induction
16.4 Induced Charge; the Electroscope
Metal objects can be charged by conduction:
Charging by Induction
• When an object gets charged by induction, a
charge is created by the influence of a
charged object but not by contact with a
charged object. The word induction means to
influence without contact.
• If a rubber balloon is charged negatively
(perhaps by rubbing it with animal fur) and
brought near (without touching) the spheres,
electrons within the two-sphere system will be
induced to move away from the balloon.
Charging By Induction
With Negatively Charged Object
In step iii, why is the charge on the right sphere
almost uniformly distributed?
Charging By Induction
With Negatively Charged Object
What was the source of positive charge
that ended up on sphere B?
Source of charge in induction
• In induction, the source of charge that is
on the final object is not the result of
movement from the charged object to the
neutral object.
Ground
• An infinite source or sink for
charge
16.4 Induced Charge; the Electroscope
They can also be charged by induction:
16.4 Induced Charge; the Electroscope
The electroscope
can be used for
detecting charge:
16.4 Induced Charge; the Electroscope
The electroscope can be charged either by
conduction or by induction.
16.4 Induced Charge; the Electroscope
The charged electroscope can then be used to
determine the sign of an unknown charge.
16.4 Induced Charge; the Electroscope
Nonconductors won’t become charged by
conduction or induction, but will experience
charge rearrangement. The atoms or molecules
become polarized.

Coulomb’s Law
• The French physicist Charles Coulomb (1736 –
1806) investigated electric forces in the 1780s
using a torsion balance.
16.5 Coulomb’s Law
Experiment shows that the electric force
between two charges is proportional to the
product of the charges and inversely
proportional to the distance between them.
Coulomb’s Law
1. If two point charges Q1 and Q2 are a
distance r apart, the charges exert forces on
each object of magnitude:


Q1 Q2
F1on 2  F2 on1  k
2
r
These forces are an action/reaction pair,
equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
16.5 Coulomb’s Law
2. The forces are along the line connecting the
charges, and is attractive if the charges are
opposite, and repulsive if they are the same.
16.5 Coulomb’s Law
Unit of charge: coulomb, C
The proportionality constant in Coulomb’s
law is then:
When we only need two significant figures:
k  9.0 10 N  m / C

Charges produced by rubbing are
typically around a microcoulomb:
16.5 Coulomb’s Law
Charge on the electron:
Electric charge is quantized in units
of the electron charge.
This is the smallest charge in nature –
fundamental or elementary charge.
The net charge of any object must be a multiple
of that charge.
16.5 Coulomb’s Law
The proportionality constant k can also be
written in terms of
, the permittivity of free
space:
(16-2)
16.5 Coulomb’s Law
Coulomb’s law strictly applies only to point charges.
Superposition: for multiple point charges, the forces
on each charge from every other charge can be
calculated and then added as vectors.
16.6 Solving Problems Involving
Coulomb’s Law and Vectors
The net force on a charge is the vector
sum of all the forces acting on it.
16.6 Solving Problems Involving
Coulomb’s Law and Vectors
Vector addition review:

charge of +1.00 Coulomb are separated by
a distance of 1.00 meter. Determine the
magnitude of the electrical force of repulsion

Neutral vs. Charged Objects
• if an atom contains equal numbers of protons
and electrons, the atom is described as being
electrically neutral.
• if an atom has an unequal number of protons
and electrons, then the atom is electrically
charged and referred to as an ion.
• Any particle, whether an atom, molecule or
ion, that contains less electrons than protons
is said to be positively charged.
• Conversely, any particle that contains more
electrons than protons is said to be negatively
charged.
Charged Objects as an Imbalance of
Protons and Electrons
• Electrons can move to the electrons’ shells of
other atoms of different materials.
• For electrons to make a move from the atoms
of one material to the atoms of another
material, there must be an energy source and
a low-resistance pathway.
• rubbing your feet on carpet
• clothes tumble in the dryer
Charged Objects as an Imbalance of
Protons and Electrons
• The principle stated earlier for atoms can be
applied to objects.
• Objects with more electrons than protons are
charged negatively; objects with fewer
electrons than protons are charged positively.
True or False?
1. An object that is positively charged contains all
protons and no electrons.
False
Positively charged objects have electrons; they
simply possess more protons than electrons.
2. An object that is electrically neutral contains only
neutrons.
False
Electrically neutral atoms simply possess the same
number of electrons as protons.
Do Now
Suppose you rub a glass rod with a silk cloth and
a second glass rod with rabbit fur. The silk cloth
will acquire a __________ (+ , -) charge; the
rabbit fur will acquire a __________ (+ , -)
charge.
The rabbit fur and the silk cloth will then be
observed to ______________________ (attract,
repel, not
interact with) each other.
Three Ways to Charge an Object
1.
Friction (by rubbing)
2. Conduction(with contact)
3. Induction(without contact)
Ground
An infinite source or sink for charge
• Charge always distributes itself
evenly around a conducting
sphere
• We can think of ground as a
conductor that is so large that it
can always accept more charge
(or provide more charge).
Symbol
Charging by Conduction
• When charging something by
contact it is important to note
the following properties
• The objects must actually
touch and transfer some
electrons.
• The objects become charged
alike.
• The original charged object
becomes less charged because
it actually lost some charge.
The Electroscope
The electroscope
can be used for
detecting charge:
Electroscope Can be Charged by
Induction
Electroscope Can be Charged by
Conduction
• Once the contact of the rod to the
electroscope is made, the electrons move
from the electroscope to the rod. The
electroscope is positively charged.
Nonconductors
Nonconductors won’t
become charged by
conduction or induction, but
will experience charge
rearrangement. The atoms or
molecules become polarized.
Do Now
• Object A is rubbed with object B. Object C is rubbed
with
• object D. Objects A and D are observed to repel each
other.
• Object B is observed to repel a negatively charged
balloon.
• This is conclusive evidence that …
• … object A acquired a __________ (+ , -) charge.
• … object B acquired a __________ (+ , -) charge.
• … object C acquired a __________ (+ , -) charge.
• … object D acquired a __________ (+ , -) charge.

lines. These lines start on a positive charge
and end on a negative charge.
16.8 Field Lines
The number of field lines starting (ending)
on a positive (negative) charge is
proportional to the magnitude of the charge.
The electric field is stronger where the field
lines are closer together.

1. Field lines indicate the direction of the
field; the field is tangent to the line.
2. The magnitude of the field is proportional
to the density of the lines.
3. Field lines start on positive charges and
end on negative charges; the number is
proportional to the magnitude of the
charge.

surface over which the
potential is constant.
Electric field lines are
perpendicular to
equipotentials.
The surface of a conductor is
an equipotential.
Equipotential Lines
• Equipotential lines are like contour lines on a
map which trace lines of equal altitude. In this
case the "altitude" is electric potential or
voltage.
• Equipotential lines are always perpendicular
to the electric field.
• Movement along an equipotential line
requires no work because such movement is
always perpendicular to the electric field.
