Electric Forces and Fields: Coulomb’s Law Chapter 20 Electric Forces and Fields: Coulomb’s Law Reading: Chapter 20

Electric Charges - Called positive and negative There are two kinds of electric charges - Called positive and negative Negative charges are the type possessed by electrons Positive charges are the type possessed by protons Charges of the same sign repel one another and charges with opposite signs attract one another Electric charge is always conserved in isolated system Neutral – equal number of positive and negative charges Positively charged

Electric Charges: Conductors and Isolators Electrical conductors are materials in which some of the electrons are free electrons These electrons can move relatively freely through the material Examples of good conductors include copper, aluminum and silver Electrical insulators are materials in which all of the electrons are bound to atoms These electrons can not move relatively freely through the material Examples of good insulators include glass, rubber and wood Semiconductors are somewhere between insulators and conductors

Coulomb’s Law Mathematically, the force between two electric charges: The SI unit of charge is the coulomb (C) ke is called the Coulomb constant ke = 8.9875 x 109 N.m2/C2 = 1/(4πeo) eo is the permittivity of free space eo = 8.8542 x 10-12 C2 / N.m2 Electric charge: electron e = -1.6 x 10-19 C proton e = 1.6 x 10-19 C

Coulomb’s Law Direction depends on the sign of the product opposite directions, the same magnitude The force is attractive if the charges are of opposite sign The force is repulsive if the charges are of like sign Magnitude:

Coulomb’s Law: Superposition Principle The force exerted by q1 on q3 is F13 The force exerted by q2 on q3 is F23 The resultant force exerted on q3 is the vector sum of F13 and F23

Conservation of Charge Electric charge is always conserved in isolated system Two identical sphere They are connected by conducting wire. What is the electric charge of each sphere? The same charge q. Then the conservation of charge means that : For three spheres:

Chapter 20 Electric Field

Electric Field An electric field is said to exist in the region of space around a charged object This charged object is the source charge When another charged object, the test charge, enters this electric field, an electric force acts on it. The electric field is defined as the electric force on the test charge per unit charge If you know the electric field you can find the force If q is positive, F and E are in the same direction If q is negative, F and E are in opposite directions

Electric Field The direction of E is that of the force on a positive test charge The SI units of E are N/C Coulomb’s Law: Then

Electric Field q is positive, F is directed away from q The direction of E is also away from the positive source charge q is negative, F is directed toward q E is also toward the negative source charge

Electric Field: Superposition Principle At any point P, the total electric field due to a group of source charges equals the vector sum of electric fields of all the charges

Motion of Charged Particle

Motion of Charged Particle When a charged particle is placed in an electric field, it experiences an electrical force If this is the only force on the particle, it must be the net force The net force will cause the particle to accelerate according to Newton’s second law - Coulomb’s law - Newton’s second law

Motion of Charged Particle What is the final velocity? - Coulomb’s law - Newton’s second law Motion in x – with constant velocity Motion in x – with constant acceleration - travel time After time t the velocity in y direction becomes then

Conductors in Electric Field Chapter 20 Conductors in Electric Field

Electric Charges: Conductors and Isolators Electrical conductors are materials in which some of the electrons are free electrons These electrons can move relatively freely through the material Examples of good conductors include copper, aluminum and silver Electrical insulators are materials in which all of the electrons are bound to atoms These electrons can not move relatively freely through the material Examples of good insulators include glass, rubber and wood Semiconductors are somewhere between insulators and conductors

Electrostatic Equilibrium Definition: when there is no net motion of charges within a conductor, the conductor is said to be in electrostatic equilibrium Because the electrons can move freely through the material no motion means that there are no electric forces no electric forces means that the electric field inside the conductor is 0 If electric field inside the conductor is not 0, then there is an electric force and, from the second Newton’s law, there is a motion of free electrons.

Conductor in Electrostatic Equilibrium The electric field is zero everywhere inside the conductor Before the external field is applied, free electrons are distributed throughout the conductor When the external field is applied, the electrons redistribute until the magnitude of the internal field equals the magnitude of the external field There is a net field of zero inside the conductor

Conductor in Electrostatic Equilibrium If an isolated conductor carries a charge, the charge resides on its surface
