10. Origin of Charge Charge is an intrinsic property of matter Two types:
Positive Charge: Protons
Negative Charge: electrons
Opposite charges attract. Like charges repel.
Atoms are neutral
Negatively charged electrons “orbit” r~10-10 m
Positively charged central nucleus r~10-15 m
Start by asking if electric force is so large, why don’t we ever feel it?
Copper and wood both made of atoms, both have positive and negative charges, but are electrically very different. Why? 20
Physics 102: Lecture 1, Slide 10

11. Conductors and Insulators
Q: How do electrons behave in a perfect conductor?
Q: How do electrons behave in a perfect insulator?
Copper and wood both made of atoms, both have positive and negative charges, but are electrically very different. Why?
Most things are in between perfect conductor / insulator 23
Physics 102: Lecture 1, Slide 11

12. Electroscope Conduction Charged rod is brought near scope
Charged rod touches scope transferring some charge
Scope is left w/ same charge as rod
gold leaves repelfly apart
Do the demo first, then show the visualization. Comment on how electroscope works. It’s like VandeGraaff and hair standing on end. 27
Physics 102: Lecture 1, Slide 12

13. Electroscope Induction Charged rod is brought near scope
Scope is briefly grounded allowing charge to flow on (or off) scope
Scope is left w/ opposite charge as rod
Do the demo first, then show the visualization. Comment on how electroscope works. It’s like VandeGraaff and hair standing on end. 27
Physics 102: Lecture 1, Slide 13

14. ACTS A) positive B) zero C) negative A) positive B) zero C) negative
A negatively charged rod is used to charge an electroscope by induction. What is the resulting net charge on the electroscope?
A) positive B) zero C) negative
If the conducting electroscope were replaced by an insulating ball and then charged by induction as above, what would be the net charge on the ball.
A) positive B) zero C) negative 32

15. Example
Coulomb’s Law
Magnitude of the force between charges q1 and q2 separated a distance r:
F = k q1q2/r2 k = 9x109 Nm2/C2
Force on electron in Hydrogen atom + -
r = 1x10-10 m
Qp=1.6x10-19 C
Qe = -1.6x10-19 C
Calculate force on electron due to proton
Comment “larger charges = larger force” Smaller separation = larger force 34
Physics 102: Lecture 1, Slide 15

16. Coulomb’s Law Example F = k q1q2/r2 k = 9x109 Nm2/C2 + - r = 1x10-10 m
Qp=1.6x10-19 C
Qe = -1.6x10-19 C
Calculate force on electron due to proton
F= 2.3x10-8 N 35
Physics 102: Lecture 1, Slide 16

17. ACT: Coulomb’s Law Example
What is the direction of the force on the proton due to the electron?
(A) Left (B) Right (C) Zero
What is the magnitude of the force on the proton due to the electron?
Example + -
r = 1x10-10 m
qp=1.6x10-19 C
qe = -1.6x10-19 C F
F= 2.3x10-8 N 38
Physics 102: Lecture 1, Slide 17

18. ACT
A positive and negative charge with equal magnitude are connected by a rigid rod, and placed near a large negative charge. What is the net force on the two connected charges?
A) Left B) Zero C) Right
Positive charge is attracted (force to left)
Negative charge is repelled (force to right)
Positive charge is closer so force to left is larger. - + - 43

21. ACT: Induced Dipole
An uncharged conducting sphere is hung next to a charged sphere. What happens when the uncharged sphere is released?
1) Negative charge attracts + repels -
Physics 102: Lecture 1, Slide 21

22. ACT: Induced Dipole
An uncharged conducting sphere is hung next to a charged sphere. What happens when the uncharged sphere is released?
1) Negative charge attracts + repels -
2) Since + is closer, attractive force is strongest
Physics 102: Lecture 1, Slide 22

23. ACT: Induced Dipole
An uncharged conducting sphere is hung between a charged sphere and a grounded sphere and held midway between the two. What happens when the uncharged sphere is released?
An uncharged conducting sphere is hung between a charged sphere and a grounded sphere and held midway between the two. What happens when the uncharged sphere is released?
1) Negative charge attracts + repels –
2) Since + is closer, attractive force is strongest
