Electric Charge Electric charge • Fundamental property of matter • Positive or negative • Determines electric force The Electric Force Coulomb’s Law F= kq1q2 d2 2 Nm k = 8.992 109 2 C C = coulomb (unit of electric charge) Coulomb’s Law F= kq1q2 d2 Force is attractive for opposite charges Force is repulsive for like charges Discussion Question The electric force is like the gravitational force because a. Opposites attract. b. Both decrease as 1/d2. c. Both involve charge. d. Both were identified by Isaac Newton. e. All of these. Discussion Question The electric force is different from the gravitational force because a. Gravity is only attractive. b. The electric force is much stronger. c. Electric charges can cancel. d. All of the above. Example Problem The electron has a charge of –1.6 10-19 C and the proton has a charge of 1.6 10-19 C. Their average separation in a hydrogen atom is 5.3 10–11 m. What is the force between them at this distance? Quick Question What is the force between the electron and proton of a hydrogen atom when the electron is twice as far away? a. Twice as much. b. The same. c. Half as much. d. One fourth as much. Charge Polarization tells us something about matter Scenario A bag contains equal numbers of positive and negative charges. The charges can move around inside the bag, but they cannot leave the bag. The bag is placed near a very large, immobile + charge. + + – – – + – + + Quick Question What sort of force exists between the + charges in the bag and the large + charge? A. The + charges are attracted to the charge. B. The + charges are repelled by the charge. C. The + charges are neither attracted nor repelled. + + – – – + – + + Quick Question What sort of force exists between the – charges in the bag and the large + charge? A.
