What are we going to learn? A road map Electric charge  Electric force on other electric charges  Electric field, and electric potential Moving electric charges : current Electronic circuit components: batteries, resistors, capacitors Electric currents  Magnetic field  Magnetic force on moving charges Time-varying magnetic field  Electric Field More circuit components: inductors, AC circuits. Maxwell’s equations  Electromagnetic waves  light waves Geometrical Optics (light rays). Physical optics (light waves): interference, diffraction.

Let’s get started! Electric charges Two types of charges: positive/negative Like charges repel Opposite charges attract Atomic structure Atomic structure : negative electron cloud nucleus of positive protons, uncharged neutrons [[Why doesn’t the nucleus fly apart?? Why doesn’t the atom collapse??]]

or Force between pairs of point charges: Coulomb’s law Coulomb’s law -- the force between point charges: Lies along the line connecting the charges. Is proportional to the magnitude of each charge. Is inversely proportional to the distance squared. Note that Newton’s third law says |F 12 | = |F 21 |!! Charles-Augustin de Coulomb ( )

Coulomb’s law k = For charges in a VACUUM Often, we write k as:

Electric charges in solids In macroscopic solids, nuclei often arrange themselves into a stiff regular pattern called a “lattice”. Electrons move around this lattice. Depending on how they move the solid can be classified by its “electrical properties” as an insulator or a conductor.

In a conductor, electrons move around freely, forming a “sea” of electrons. This is why metals conduct electricity. Charges can be “induced” (moved around) in conductors. Charges in solids Blue background = mobile electrons Red circles = static positive charge (nuclei)

Insulating solids In an insulator, each electron cloud is tightly bound to the protons in a nucleus. Wood, glass, rubber. Note that the electrons are not free to move throughout the lattice, but the electron cloud can “distort” locally. + -

How to charge an object An object can be given some “excess” charge: giving electrons to it (we give it negative charge) or taking electrons away (we “give” it positive charge). How do we do charge an object? Usually, moving charges from one surface to another by adhesion (helped by friction), or by contact with other charged objects. If a conductor, the whole electron sea redistributes itself. If an insulator, the electrons stay where they are put.

Conservation of Charge You connect these together with a metal wire; what is the final charge distribution? ?? Total amount of charge in an isolated system is fixed (“conserved”) +1C  2C Example: 2 identical metal spheres have charges +1C and –2C.

Quantization of Charge Charge is always found in INTEGER multiples of the charge on an electron/proton ([[why?]]) Unit of charge: Coulomb (C) in SI units Electron charge = –e =  1.6 x Coulombs Proton charge = +e = +1.6 x Coulombs One cannot ISOLATE FRACTIONAL CHARGE (e.g.  0.8 x C, +1.9 x C, etc.) [[but what about quarks…?]] Unit of current: Ampere = Coulomb/second

Superposition Question: How do we figure out the force on a point charge due to many other point charges? Answer: consider one pair at a time, calculate the force (a vector!) in each case using Coulomb’s Law and finally add all the vectors! (“superposition”) Useful to look out for SYMMETRY to simplify calculations!

Example Three equal charges form an equilateral triangle of side 1.5 m as shown Compute the force on q 1 What is the force on the other charges? d q1q1 d d q2q2 q3q3 q 1 = q 2 = q 3 = 20  C Solution: Set up a coordinate system, compute vector sum of F 12 and F 13 d d d y x 

What is the force on central particle? Charge +q placed at center Another example with symmetry +q

Summary Electric charges come with two signs: positive and negative. Like charges repel, opposite charges attract, with a magnitude calculated from Coulomb’s law: F=kq 1 q 2 /r 2 Atoms have a positive nucleus and a negative “cloud”. Electron clouds can combine and flow freely in conductors; are stuck to the nucleus in insulators. We can charge objects by transferring charge, or by induction. Electrical charge is conserved, and quantized.
