Law of Electric Charges Opposite electric charges attract each other. 2. Similar electric charges repel each other. 3. Charged objects attract some neutral objects.

Structure of Matter 1. All matter – composed of atoms. 2. Electric charges carried by: electrons and protons 3. Elementary Charge – charge of electron and proton. 4. Neutrons – no electrical charge 5. Are both negative & positive ions

Charge Movement 1. Positive charge – proton, is located in the nucleus, thus not free to move. 2. Negative charge – electron, free to move 3. Therefore, all excess in charges in solids result either from an excess or deficit of electrons.

Broad categories of substances Conductor – electrons are able to move freely from one atom to another in a solid. Insulator – electrons are not free to easily move from one atom to another in a solid. Liquids & gases: ‘+’ & ‘-’ can move

Convention 1. Charged objects marked with ‘-’ have an excessive of electrons. 2. Charged objects marked with ‘+’ have a deficiency of electrons. 3. Number of ‘-’ or ‘+’ signs do not represent the actual number of ‘-’ or ‘+’ charges on the object.

Convention 4. Neutral objects are not marked with equal number of ‘-’ or ‘+’ signs but are shown with no ‘-’ or ‘+’ signs. This does not agree with what your text does in some situations.

Charging by Friction 1. There is a transfer of electron from one object to the other according to how tightly each are held to the positive charges in their nucleus.

Electrostatic Series Add from other power point

Induced Charge Separation a. Rub white rod with wool b. With sphere near the white rod, touch sphere with finger making sure the sphere does not touch the white rod. c. Check charge using the electroscope.

Induced Charge Separation Electrons escape from sphere Positive charges remain near rod. Electrons move to opposite side. Remove rod. Touch with finger. Remove finger. Induction Explanation Bring sphere near negative strip.

Induced Charge Separation 1. Charges are rearranged on an object (A) by the presence of another charged object (B). 2. Touching object (A) will allow electrons to flow onto or off it. 3. The charge on object (A) will always be opposite the charge on object (B).

Charging by Contact a. Rub white rod with wool b. Touch sphere to white rod until it repels. c. Check charge using the electroscope.

Touch sphere to white rod. Charge of sphere same as rod Charging by Contact Remove white rod Touch sphere to white rod. Charge of sphere same as rod

Electrical Units

Electrophorus - Electrons leave plate Charges rearrange Finger removed from plate Finger touches plate Remove plate from foam ‘-’ repelled from bottom to top of plate Leaving ‘+’ behind Place plate on negative foam Foam rubbed with wool Wool gives ‘-’ to foam

Electrophorus + Finger touches plate ‘-’ attracted to bottom of plate Leaving ‘+’ behind Remove plate from foam Electrons added to plate Charges rearrange Place plate on negative foam Wool takes ‘-’ from foam Foam rubbed with wool Finger removed from plate

Coulomb’s Law Q Q Q q d d The force is positive if the charge on both objects have the same sign and negative if the sign of each charge is different.

Coulomb’s Law

Coulomb’s Law Restrictions 1. Objects need to be very far apart so that the charges are considered acting all from one point.

Electric Fields ‘є’ Q Q Q r The direction of the Electric Field is in the direction of the force on a positive test charge due to charge ‘Q’ that causes the electric field.

Electric Fields ‘є’ Electric fields exert a force on an electrical charge that is in the field. The direction of the electric field is in the direction of the force on a positive test charge ‘q’ in electric field ‘Q’.

Electric Potential Energy ‘Ee’ Q q r The electric potential energy is zero when the two charged objects are an infinite distance apart.

Electric Potential Energy ‘Ee’ Q q q r ∞ If negative it means that the force between the two object is attractive. Work is done and thus energy is stored by moving them further apart.

Electric Potential Energy ‘Ee’ Q q q r ∞ If positive it means that the force between the two object is repulsive. Work is done and thus energy is stored by moving them closer together.

Electric Potential ‘V’ Q ∞ r Electric potential represents the amount of work necessary to move a unit test charge from rest at infinity to rest at any specific point in the electric field of ‘Q’

Potential Difference Q rB rA The potential decreases in the direction of the electric field and increases in the opposite direction.

Electric Field of Parallel Plates If the charges plates are close together: 1. The intensity is zero in the region outside the parallel plates. 2. The intensity is constant everywhere in the space between the plates. 3. The magnitude of the intensity depends only on the magnitude of charge on each plate. 4. This is called a uniform electric field.

Electric Field Inside a Sphere 1. Like charges dislike each other. 2. On a conducting surface the want to get as far away from each other. 3. Thus all charges end up on the outer surface. 4. Thus, the electric field inside the sphere is zero.

That’s all folks!
