Physics ELECTROSTATICS - I Session Objectives 1. Charges and their properties 2. Coulomb’s law 3. Introduction to electric field Electric Charge Intrinsic property of matter by virtue of which it can (interact) exert force (electric) on other matter having the same intrinsic property Two types – positive and negative (arbitrarily assigned) - + SI unit of charge – Coulomb (C) Methods of charging a body Frictional rubbing Transfer of electrons from one body to another cause charging Induction A charged body induces its opposite charge on the Nearby side of another body Conduction Charge on a body conducts to another Properties of charge - - + + Like charges repel Unlike charges attract + - Hair stands out - each strand has the same electric charge and is being repelled from every other strand and her body Properties of charge Additivity Total charge on a system – the algebraic sum of all charges contained in it. q + 3q = 4q Sign should be taken into account 5q + –7q = –2q Quantisation Charge cannot be sub-divided indefinitely. The smallest unit of charge is equal to that of an electron I.e. e = 1.6 x 10-19 q ne Other charges – integral multiple of e Conservation 1.4 Charge is conserved— Neither created 2e e –3e nor destroyed, e Can be just transferred 3.5 e Solved Example – 1 What kind of charges is produced on each, when (a) A glass rod is rubbed with silk? (b) An ebonite rod is rubbed with wool? Solution: (a) On glass rod – positive charge On silk – negative charge (electrons are transferred from glass to silk) (b) On ebonite rod – negative charge On wool – positive charge (Electrons are transferred from wool to ebonite) Solved Example – 2 From a neutral body, 107 electrons are removed. Find the charge the body acquires. Solution: Charge q = ne = 107 x 1.6 x 10–19 = 1.6 x 10–12 C Since the electrons have been removed, the body is positively charged.

Solution: Coulomb’s force between two charges always acts along the line joining them and hence, it is a central force. Solved example – 4 Give the dissimilarities between Coulomb’s force and force of gravitation. Solution: Coulomb’s force (i) Force between charges (ii) Repulsive or attractive (iii) Not active over large distance (iv) Affected by the medium between the charges Force of gravitation Force between masses Always attractive Active over very large distance Unaffected by the medium between the bodies Addition of coulomb’s forces When a test charge is introduced to a system of charges, each of the charges of the system exert electric force on the test charge and the resultant force on it is the vector sum of the individual forces.

What should be the value of q if this system of three charges is to be in equilibrium? Solution: For equilibrium, Q q 2x 1 Qq 1 QQ Q 0 q – 40 x 2 40 (2x)2 4 Q Continuous charge distribution Does not mean that charge is A system of closely spaced charges continuous, but distribution of form a continuous distribution discretecharge charges is continuous Charge distribution Linear charge distribution Surface charge distribution Volume distribution of charge Force on q0 q0 λ (a) F = rˆ d 2 4ε0 L r q σ (b) F = 0 2 rˆ ds 4ε0 S r (c) F = q0 ρ rˆ dV 2 4ε0 V r Electric field (intro.) A charge creates a physical condition in the space surrounding itself called the electric field such that, any other charge present in that space experience electric force. No boundary, but strength considerably decreases away from the charge responsible for that. Intensity of field at a point – Force on unit positive charge placed at that point. A vector represented by E SI unit: N C–1 At a point, where strength of the filed is E, a charge q experiences a force of magnitude F = q E Solved Example – 7 If an oil drop of weight 3.2 x 10–13 N is balanced in an electric field of 5 x 105 N C–1, then find the charge on the oil drop. Solution: W = 3.2×10–13 N, W=qE W 3.2×10–13 q= = = 6.4×10–19 C 5 E 5×10 E = 5×105 N C–1 Thank you
