ELECTROMAGNETIS M LECTURE#04 Instructor: Muhammad Mateen Yaqoob

The Electric Field  The concept of a field was developed by Michael Faraday (1791–1867) in the context of electric forces and is of such practical value. An electric field is said to exist in the region of space around a charged object, the source charge. When another charged object—the test charge—enters this electric field, an electric force acts on it  As an example Figure shows a small positive test charge placed near a second object carrying a much greater positive charge. Mateen Yaqoob Department of Computer Science

The Electric Field  We define the electric field due to the source charge at the location of the test charge to be the electric force on the test charge per unit charge, or, to be more specific  It has the SI units of newton per coulomb (N/C).  Note that electric field is the field produced by some charge or charge distribution separate from the test charge; it is not the field produced by the test charge itself. Also note that the existence of an electric field is a property of its source; the presence of the test charge is not necessary for the field to exist.  The test charge serves as a detector of the electric field: an electric field exists at a point if a test charge at that point experiences an electric force.  This equation gives us the force on a charged particle q placed in an electric field. If q is positive, the force is in the same direction as the field. If q is negative, the force and the field are in opposite directions. Mateen Yaqoob Department of Computer Science

The Electric Field  To determine the direction of an electric field, consider a point charge q as a source charge. This charge creates an electric field at all points in space surrounding it. A test charge is placed at point P, a distance r from the source charge, as in Figure  We imagine using the test charge to determine the direction of the electric force and therefore that of the electric field. According to Coulomb’s law, the force exerted by q on the test charge is Mateen Yaqoob Department of Computer Science

Electric Field of a Continuous Charge Distribution  Very often, the distances between charges in a group of charges are much smaller than the distance from the group to a point where the electric field is to be calculated. In such situations, the system of charges can be modeled as continuous.  That is, the system of closely spaced charges is equivalent to a total charge that is continuously distributed along some line, over some surface, or throughout some volume.  To set up the process for evaluating the electric field created by a continuous charge distribution, let’s use the following procedure. First, divide the charge distribution into small elements, each of which contains a small charge  The electric field at P due to one charge element carrying charge  The total electric field at P due to all elements in the charge distribution is Mateen Yaqoob Department of Computer Science

Electric Field of a Continuous Charge Distribution  Let’s illustrate this type of calculation with several examples in which the charge is distributed on a line, on a surface, or throughout a volume. When performing such calculations, it is convenient to use the concept of a charge density along with the following notations:  If a charge Q is uniformly distributed throughout a volume V, volume charge density is defined by  If a charge Q is uniformly distributed on a surface of area A, the surface charge density  If a charge Q is uniformly distributed along a line of length l, the linear charge density  If the charge is non-uniformly distributed over a volume, surface, or line, the amounts of charge dq in a small volume, surface, or length element are Mateen Yaqoob Department of Computer Science

Electric Field Lines  Let’s now explore a means of visualizing the electric field in a pictorial representation. A convenient way of visualizing electric field patterns is to draw lines, called electric field lines and first introduced by Faraday, that are related to the electric field in a region of space in the following manner: Mateen Yaqoob Department of Computer Science

Electric Field Lines  The lines are actually directed radially outward from the charge in all directions; therefore, instead of the flat “wheel” of lines shown, you should picture an entire spherical distribution of lines.  Because a positive test charge placed in this field would be repelled by the positive source charge, the lines are directed radially away from the source charge.  The electric field lines representing the field due to a single negative point charge are directed toward the charge.  In either case, the lines are along the radial direction and extend all the way to infinity.  Notice that the lines become closer together as they approach the charge, indicating that the strength of the field increases as we move toward the source charge. Mateen Yaqoob Department of Computer Science

Rules for drawing electric field lines  The lines must begin on a positive charge and terminate on a negative charge. In the case of an excess of one type of charge, some lines will begin or end infinitely far away.  The number of lines drawn leaving a positive charge or approaching a negative charge is proportional to the magnitude of the charge.  No two field lines can cross.
