3. What is Electrostatics?
Electrostatics is the study of the interactions between stationary electrically charged particles.
Electrostatic laws deal with the attractive and repelling forces that exist between positive and negative electric charges.

7. What’s the Origin of the Word “Electricity”?
William Gilbert, a 17th century physician and scientist coined the term from the Greek root “elektron” meaning amber. Amber was the material that ancient Greek philosophers had noticed would mysteriously attract small particles after it had been rubbed with fur.

8. We needed bigger shocks…
A Brief History…
We needed bigger shocks…
Since electricity from frictional sources was usually weak, electricians of the eighteenth century searched for ways to increase charge and to accumulate as much of it as possible on a substance. If charge could be accumulated the electricians could then broaden their research with the mystical phenomenon.

9. Stephen Gray ( )
This British chemist, is credited with discovering that electricity can flow (1729), and was the first to identify the properties of conductors and insulators. He also transmitted electricity over a wire, which eventually led to the development of the telegraph.
The figure shows that the electric force of a rubbed glass could be sent, through a wire, to the body of a person.

10. E.G. von Kleist (1700-1748) and Pieter van Musschenbroek (1692-1761)
This German administrator and cleric, and the Dutch physicist separately and independently discovered the Leyden jar, a fundamental electric circuit element for storing electric charge, now referred to as a capacitor. Musschenbroek nearly killed his friend discharging the capacitor.

11. Jean-Antoine Nollet (1700-1770)
This French clergyman decided to test his theory that electricity traveled far and fast. He did the natural thing on a fine spring day in 1746, sending 200 of his monks out in a line 1 mile long.
Once aligned, Nollet hooked up a Leyden jar to the end of the line and all the monks started swearing, contorting, or otherwise reacting simultaneously to the electric shock. A successful experiment: an electrical signal can travel a mile and it does so quickly.

12. Charles-François de Cisternay Du Fay (1698-1739)
Du Fay discovered two types of electric charge and was the first to suggest that electricity consisted of two fluids: "vitreous" (from the Latin for "glass"), or positive, electricity; and "resinous," or negative, electricity, and recognized that similar fluids repel, and dissimilar attract.

13. Benjamin Franklin ( )
Benjamin Franklin invents the theory of one-fluid electricity in which one of Nollet's fluids exists and the other is just the absence of the first. He proposes the principle of conservation of charge and calls the fluid that exists and flows ``positive''. This educated guess ensures that undergraduates will always be confused about the direction of current flow. He also discovers that electricity can act at a distance in situations where fluid flow makes no sense.

14. Negative,Positive, What’s the Difference???
The two ‘opposite’ charges may as well have been called the ying and the yang. All that is important to know is that they are different beasts, and that opposites attract, and likes repel…

15. Charles Augustin de Coulomb (1736-1806)
Coulomb developed a theory of attraction and repulsion between bodies of the same and opposite electrical charge. He demonstrated an inverse square law for such forces and went on to examine perfect conductors and dielectrics. He also is credited with creating the torsion balance.

18. When the objects are at rest, the force is called ELECTROSTATIC FORCE
More History
Over time the new property acquired by the materials caused by rubbing came to be known as electric charge
Objects that interact with each other because they are charged are said to exert electrical force on each other
When the objects are at rest, the force is called ELECTROSTATIC FORCE
Static is because the objects are not moving
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

19. Electrostatic interactions
Materials rubbed against each other acquire electric charge.(conductors)
Two objects with the same type of charge repel each other.
Two objects with opposite types of charge attract each other.
Two objects made of different materials rubbed against each other acquire opposite charges.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

20. Electrostatic interactions
Sometimes more vigorous rubbing leads to a greater force exerted by the rubbed objects on each other.
The magnitude of the force that the charged objects exert on each other increases when the distance between the objects decreases.

21. Conceptual Exercise 14.1
Take two 9-inch-long pieces of transparent tape and place them sticky side down on a plastic, glass, or wooden tabletop. Now pull on one end of each tape to remove them from the table. Bring the pieces of tape near each other. They repel each other, as shown in the figure. Can we explain the repulsion of the tapes as an electric interaction?

22. Charged objects attract uncharged objects
Everyday observations show that uncharged lightweight objects, such as small bits of paper that have not been rubbed against anything, are attracted to charged objects.

24. 14.2 Explanation for Electrostatic Interactions
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

25. Contemporary model for electric charge
Two objects start as neutral—the total electric charge of each is zero.
During rubbing, one object gains electrons and becomes negatively charged.
The other object loses an equal number of electrons and with this deficiency of electrons becomes positively charged.
Sometimes you rub nothing happens. e- in both materials are bound equally strong and therefore no e- occurs.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

26. Charge
Opposite charges attract and like charges repel. As a result negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positive nucleus.
Despite the great mass difference, the charge on an electron is exactly equal in magnitude to the charge on a proton, and its magnitude is denoted by "e."

27. Contemporary model for electric charge
+1 charge (e+) added to -1 (e-) charge we get no charge.
Example 2: 1 e e+ =2e+
The charge of 1e- = -1.6 X 10-19C
q is the abbreviation used for charge
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

28. The Coulomb
We use a new SI unit, the coulomb (C), to measure charge. (More on the coulombs later)
The smallest amount of charge is the charge of 1 electron (1.6x10-19 C).
The charge on any object, whether it is positive or negative is quantized, meaning that the charge consists of an integer number of protons and electrons.
Therefore a charge of 2e- can be written 2q or 2e- instead of 3.2x10-19 C because charge must be a multiple of 1.6x10-19

29. Units of Charge 1 mC = 1 x 10-6 C 1 nC = 1 x 10-9 C 1 pC = 1 x 10-12 C
The coulomb (selected for use with electric currents) is actually a very large unit for static electricity. Thus, we often encounter a need to use the metric prefixes.
1 mC = 1 x 10-6 C
1 nC = 1 x 10-9 C
1 pC = 1 x C

30. Example 1
A metal sphere has a net charge of –2.4 x 10-6 C. How many excess electrons does the sphere contain?
GIVEN:
q = -2.4 x 10-6 C
-e = -1.6 x C
#electrons = ???

31. Example 2 If 16 million electrons are removed from a neutral sphere, what is the charge on the sphere in coulombs?
+ +
1 electron: e- = -1.6 x C
q = x C
Since electrons are removed, the charge remaining on the sphere will be positive.
Final charge on sphere:
q = pC

32. Conceptual Exercise 14.2
You pull your sweater and shirt off together, and then pull them apart. You notice that they attract each other—a phenomenon called "static" in everyday life. Explain the mechanism behind this attraction and suggest an experiment to test your explanation.

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

34. Conductors
In metals, some electrons can move freely throughout the metal.
When we bring a positively charged rod next to a metal bar, the free electrons move closer to the positively charged rod, leaving the other side with a deficiency of electrons.

36. The electroscope
An electroscope consists of a metal ball attached to a metal rod. A very lightweight needle-like metal rod is connected on a pivot near the bottom of the larger rod. Used to study electrostatic interactions

37. The electroscope
The angle of deflection is related to the magnitude of the electric charge of the electroscope.
What would happen if I brought a positive rod near top of the electroscope?

38. Dielectrics/Insulators/Non-Conducting Objects
Objects that do not have free electrons or any other charged particles that are free to move inside. (glass, wood, other nonmetal objects)
All electrons are tightly bound to their atoms or molecules
How can we explain the attraction of a neutral nonmetal object and a charge object (like the balloon on the wall or the pieces of paper)
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

39. Dielectrics and Polarization
Plastic, glass, and other nonmetal materials do not have free electrons or any other charged particles that are free to move inside.
The charge object creates a force that acts on the tightly bound nucleus that causes the charged nuclei components to separate slightly by charge (More force than the forces keeping the atom bound together)
When the atoms are in a polarized state its called an electric dipole.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

40. Electric Dipole and Polarization
Electric Dipole is any object that is overall electrically neutral but has its negative and positive charges separated
Polarization: leads to a small accumulation of charge on the surface of the object
Polarization is what causes nonconducting materials to interact with charged objects

43. Is the human body a conductor or a dielectric?
As your hand approaches a positively charged cup, the free electrons on the surface of your hand and arm move toward it.
Your body is a conductor. We transfer electrons
We will talk about electric shock and sparks in a few minutes
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

44. Grounding
If the cup has a positive charge, negative electrons in the ground are attracted toward the cup and travel from the ground to the cup, causing it to become neutral.
Earth is a large conductor with infinite amount of electrons.

46. Law of Conservation of Charge
Like other conservation laws, the law of conservation of electric charge states that the net charge (which is basically the sum of the charge on each proton and electron in a system) of an isolated system remains constant.

47. Quick Overview

48. What is Net Charge?
Net charge is the amount of excess charge; a neutral object has an equal number of electrons and protons, and therefore, no net charge.
No Net Charge
Positive Net Charge

49. How Might an Object Become Charged???
Charging by Friction
Charging by Contact (Insulators and Conductors)
Charging by Induction (Conductors Only) ?

50. Charging by Friction
This is called charging by friction. It’s basically the same phenomenon that occurs when you drag your feet across a carpet on a dry day, or rubbed a balloon through your chair. Electrons, NOT PROTONS, are, with a little bit of energy, “scraped” off, and transferred.

51. Triboelectric Series
The Triboelectric Series is a list of materials, showing which have a greater tendency to become positive (+) and which have a greater tendency to become negative (−). The list is a handy tool to determine which combinations of materials create the most static electricity.
Higher the material in the series the more affinity it has to take electrons.
Lower materials tend to give up electrons.
The larger the difference in position the greater the transfer of electrons.

52. Charging by Contact
Also, charging by conduction, it is the process of giving an object a net electric charge by placing it in contact with an object that is already charged. It should be noted that it is nearly always electrons that are exchanged.

53. Charging by Induction
It is possible to charge a neutral conductor without contact or
Charging by induction involves transferring charge between two objects without them touching.

54. Charging by Induction (grounding wire)
The earth has an infinite amount of electrons
The earth will never increase or decrease charge when indication occurs (The electron sink is to big to notice the few electrons transferred during an induction process. So
A negatively charged rod is brought near, but does not touch the sphere. Electrons within the sphere are repelled by the rod, and pass through the wire to the ground, leaving a net positive charge on the sphere.
The electrons are being pushed down this wire into the ground.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

55. Charging by Induction (grounding wire)
While the negatively charged rod remains near the sphere, the ground is removed. Note that there can be no more movement of electrons since the sphere is isolated from the ground. Electrons cannot jump the gap between the rod and the sphere or between the ground and the sphere.
The wire is removed, disconnecting the sphere from the ground.
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

56. Charging by Induction (grounding wire)
The rod is then removed. It is important to note that the charge on the rod remains constant (negative). The charge on the sphere is now positive as it lost electrons to Earth.
Compared to the amount of free electrons already in Earth, the earth has gained an insignificant amount of charge and therefore the charge on the earth still stays the same (neutral).
Note: If the ground were left in place, once the initially charged object was removed, the neutral object will pass its gained charge back to the ground.

65. Electric charge (1 More Time)
Electric Charge (symbol q or Q) is a property of objects that participate in electrostatic interactions.
Electric charge is quantized-you can only change on object’s charge by increments, not continuously
Electric Charge is conserved
Unit for electric charge is the coulomb
Smalles increment of charge is that of one electron –e = -1.6 x C

66. Coulomb's force law
In 1785, Charles Coulomb determined the relationship between distance and magnitude of charges, and the force between charges.
The experimental apparatus Coulomb used is called a torsion balance.

68. Gravitational and Electric Force
Gravitational force depends on mass of the objects
Electric force depends on the charge of the objects
Gravitational force is always attractive
Electrical force attractive or repulsive
Proportionality constants are much different
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

69. Gravitational and Electric Force
Compare the gravitational force to the electrical force exerted byt the proton on the electron in an hydrogen atom
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

70. Comparing the magnitude of the electric force to the gravitational force
Consider a proton and an electron in a hydrogen atom. They are separated by about 10–10 m.
The electric force between the two objects is 2.3 x 10–8 N.
The gravitational force between the two objects is 1.0 x 10–47 N.
The electric force between these objects is about 2 x 1039 times greater than the gravitational force!
The earth gravitational pull on the e- is 18 orders of magnitude greater than the gravitation force exerted by the proton but….it’s still 22 orders of magnitude less than the electrical force
This why Physics confidently ignore gravitational forces when dealing with atomic size particles.

72. Solving Electric Force Problems
Superimposition of Electrical Forces
Follow this procedure:
 1. Assume all charges, other than the one that the initial net force is being calculated for, are immobile - this will allow the determination of the direction of the individual initial forces.
 2. Draw a free body diagram for each charge, using the fact that opposite charges attract and like charges repel.
 3. Use Coulomb's Law to find the magnitude of each force.
 4. Sum the forces, taking into account that they are vectors with direction and magnitudes. Use the free body diagrams to assign signs to the forces - if they point to the right, they are positive; if they point to the left, they are negative.
