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
History
600 BC
Thales of Miletos rubs amber (electron in
Greek) with cat fur and uses it to pick up
feathers.
Important questions:
Why was he doing this?
Didn’t he have a job??
What happened to the skinned cat?
Amber
Million years ago large stands of forests in
some parts of the world began to seep globs of
sticky resin! This aromatic resin oozed down
the sides of trees, as well as filling internal
fissures, trapping debris, such as seeds,
leaves, feathers and insects. As geologic time
progressed the forests were buried and the
resin hardened into a soft, warm, golden gem,
known as amber. Amber is the fossilized
resin of ancient trees which forms through a
natural polymerization of the original organic
compounds. Most of the world's amber is in the
range of 30-90 million years old.

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.

Same as before: Polarization
From WebAssign
Three are brought close to each other, two at a time. When
objects A and B are brought together, they attract. When
objects B and C are brought together, they repel. From this,
we conclude which of the following? (Select all that apply.)
[_] Objects A and C possess charges of the same sign.
[_] All three of the objects possess charges of the same
sign.
[_] One of the objects is neutral.
[_] Objects A and C possess charges of opposite sign.
[_] We need to perform additional tests to determine
information about the charges on the object
Example
PITH BALLS
Another Example
Example - Tape
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 defined as POSITIVE.
What happens when two
surfaces touch or rub?
Bonding!
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.

Summary - Rubbings
What have we 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 severe in the pocess.

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.
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

Coulomb’s Law –
Force between charges
 The force between two charges is proportional to the
product of the two charges and inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between them.

Three point charges are located at the corners of an
equilateral triangle as shown in Figure P23.7. Calculate the
resultant electric force on the 7.00-μC charge.
Two small beads having positive charges 3q and q are fixed at
the opposite ends of a horizontal, insulating rod, extending
from the origin to the point x = d. As shown in Figure P23.10,
a third small charged bead is free to slide on the rod. At what
position is the third bead in equilibrium? Can it be in stable
equilibrium?

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

 Point Charge goes as 1/r2
 Infinite line of charge goes as 1/r1
 Could it be possible that the field of an infinite
plane of charge could go as 1/r0? A constant??

Look at the “Field Lines”
What did we learn in this chapter??
 We introduced the concept of the Electric
FIELD.




We may not know what causes the field. (The
evil Emperor Ming)
If we know where all the charges are we can
CALCULATE E.
E is a VECTOR.
The equation for E is the same as for the force
on a charge from Coulomb’s Law but divided
by the “q of the test charge”.
What else did we learn in this
chapter?
 We introduced continuous distributions of
charge rather than individual discrete
charges.
 Instead of adding the individual charges we
must INTEGRATE the (dq)s.
 There are three kinds of continuously
distributed charges.
Kinds of continuously distributed
charges
 Line of charge
 m or sometimes l = the charge per unit length.
 dq=mds (ds= differential of length along the line)
 Area
 s = charge per unit area
 dq=sdA
 dA = dxdy (rectangular coordinates)
 dA= 2rdr for elemental ring of charge
 Volume
 r=charge per unit volume
 dq=rdV
 dV=dxdydz or 4r2dr or some other expressions we will
look at later.

(Note: I left off the unit vectors in the last
equation set, but be aware that they should
be there.)
To be remembered …
 If the ELECTRIC FIELD at a point is E, then
 E=F/q (This is the definition!)
 Using some
advanced mathematics we can derive
from this equation, the fact that:
F  qE
