Presentation transcript:

Chapter 24: Electric Potential Electric Potential energy Work done by a force acting on an object moving along a path: b dl a F If the force is a conservative force, the work done can be expressed as a change in potential energy: Work-Energy Theorem: the change in kinetic energy equals the total work done on the particle. If only conservative forces are present:

A charge in a uniform electric field   dy q a b

The work done on a charge q’ in the presence of another charge q

Potential Potential is potential energy per unit charge Potential is often referred to as “voltage” In terms of “work per charge” In terms of source charges

Potential and potential differences from the Electric Field

Electric Potential (continued): Examples What is the speed of an electron accelerated from rest across a potential difference of 100V? What is the speed of a proton accelerated under the same conditions? Vab An electric dipole oriented vertically at the origin consists of two point charges, +/- 12.0 nC placed 10 cm apart. What is the potential at a point located 12cm from the dipole in the horizontal direction? What is the potential energy associated with a +4.0 nC charge placed at this point?

Spherical Charged Conductor Outside: looks like a point charge Inside: field is zero (dV =-E ·dl = 0) E V Vmax=Emax R => Larger E with smaller R Dielectric Strength = maximum electric field strength an insulator can withstand before Dielectric Breakdown (Insulator becomes a conductor). => High voltage terminals have large radii of curvature

Potential between parallel plates Uniform field: U = qEy   Potential between parallel plates Uniform field: U = qEy => V = Ey = (VyVb) Vab = VaVb = Ed or E = Vab /d (True for uniform fields only, although this can provide an estimate of field strength) a d q y b

Equipotential surfaces A surface in space on which the potential is the same for every point. Surfaces of constant voltage.

Potential Gradient

Millikan oil-drop experiment Experimental investigation into the quantization of charge small drops of oil, with small amounts of excess charge. naive: balance -> q = mg/E need mass! (or drop radius + density) Balance gravity, electric force and air resistance on drop in motion: F = qE F = mg v F = qE Ff’ v’ Ff F = mg F = mg

Millikan’s (and later) results thousands of measurements => all (positive or negative) integer multiples of e! => charge is quantized!! Modern Quantum Chromodynamics: quarks have fractional (+/- 1/3e +/- 2/3e) charges, but never appear alone (“confinement”) net charge of all observed objects are integer multiples of e.
