 To understand the basic properties of electric charge.  To describe the difference between conductors and insulators.  To calculate the electric force using Coulumb’s Law.  To describe and calculate electric field strength.

The word electricity comes from the Greek word elektron, which means “amber.” The ancients knew that if you rub a piece of amber with a cloth, the amber attracts small pieces of leaves or dust. A piece of rubber, a glass rod or a plastic ruler rubbed with a cloth will also display this “amber effect,” or Static Electricity. An object becomes “charged” as a result of rubbing, and is said to possess a net electric charge.

There are two types of electric charge. Each type of charge repels the same type but attracts the opposite type. That is: Unlike charges attract; like charges repel. The two types of electric charge were referred to as positive and negative by the American statesman, philosopher, and scientist Benjamin Franklin ( )

A simplified model of an atom shows it as having a tiny but heavy, positively charged nucleus surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons. The nucleus contains protons, which are positively charged, and neutrons, which have no net electric charge. All protons and all electrons have exactly the same magnitude of electric charge; but their signs are opposite. Sometimes, an atom may lose one or more of its electrons, or may gain extra electrons, in which case it will have a net positive or negative charge and is called an ion.

Materials like iron are said to be conductors of electricity, whereas wood and rubber are nonconductors or insulators. Metals are generally good conductors, whereas most other materials are insulators (although even insulators conduct electricity very slightly). Nearly all natural materials fall into one or the other category. However, a few materials (notably silicon and germanium) fall into an intermediate category known as semiconductors.

From an atomic point of view, the electrons in an insulating material are bound very tightly to the nuclei. In a good conductor, on the other hand, some of the electrons are bound very loosely and can move about freely within the material and are often referred to as free electrons or conduction electrons. When a positively charged object is brought close to or touches a conductor, the free electrons in the conductor attracted and move quickly toward the object. On the other hand they move swiftly away from a negatively charged object. In a semiconductor, there are many fewer free electrons, and in an insulator, almost none.

Coulomb’s law gives the magnitude of the electric force that either object exerts on the other. The direction of the electric force is always along the line joining the two objects. If the two charges have the same sign, the force on either object is directed away from the other (they repel each other). If the two objects have opposite signs, the force on one is directed toward the other (they attract). Note that the force one charge exerts on the second is equal but opposite to that exerted by the second on the first, in accord with Newton’s third law.

Three charges in a line. Three charged particles are arranged in a line as shown. Calculate the net electrostatic force on particle 3 due to the other two charges. Solution: -1.5N

The British scientist Michael Faraday ( ) developed the idea of a field. In the electrical case, an electric field extends outward from every charge and permeates all of space. If a second charge is placed near the first charge, it feels a force exerted by the electric field that is there.

To visualize the electric field, we draw a series of lines to indicate the direction of the electric field at various points in space. These electric force lines are drawn so that they indicate the direction of the force due to the given field on a positive test charge.

We can draw lines so that the number of lines starting on a positive charge, or ending on a negative charge, is proportional to the magnitude of the charge. Let’s take a look at two different examples. The first picture shows the electric field of an arrangement known as an electric dipole. The second picture shows the electric field between two parallel plates carrying equal but opposite charges. Notice that the field lines start perpendicular from the surface of the plates.

A conducting box used in this way is an effective device for shielding delicate instruments and electronic circuits from unwanted external electric fields. We also can see that a relatively place to be during a lightning storm is inside a car surrounded by metal.
