INTRODUCTION
الشحنة الكهربية Electric Charge
تتكون المادة من جزيئات، التي تتكون من ذرات، تحتوي كل ذرة على جسيمات ذات شحنة كهربية موجبة – البروتونات- داخل النواه وجسيمات ذات شحنة كهربية سالبة - الالكترونات- حول النواه.

3. Figure 23.2
When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, electrons are transferred from the glass to the silk. Because of conservation of charge, each electron adds negative charge to the silk, and an equal positive charge is left behind on the rod. Also, because the charges are transferred in discrete bundles, the charges on the two objects are +/-e, or +/-2e, or +/-3e, and so on.

6. When the charges are of the same sign, the force is repulsive.
Two point charges separated by a distance r exert a force on each other that is given by Coulomb’s law. The force F21 exerted by q2 on q1 is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force F12 exerted by q1 on q2.
When the charges are of the same sign, the force is repulsive.
(b) When the charges are of opposite signs, the force is attractive.

The force F21 exerted by q2 on q1 is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force F12 exerted by q1 on q2. (a) When the charges are of the same sign, the force is repulsive. (b) When the charges are of opposite signs, the force is attractive.

Coulomb’s experiments showed that the electric force between two stationary charged particles
• is inversely proportional to the square of the separation r between the particles
and directed along the line joining them;
• is proportional to the product of the charges q1 and q2 on the two particles;
• is attractive if the charges are of opposite sign and repulsive if the charges have the same sign.
Charles Coulomb French physicist (1736–1806)

8. The value of the Coulomb constant ke depends on the choice of units
The value of the Coulomb constant ke depends on the choice of units. The SI unit of charge is the coulomb (C). The Coulomb constant ke in SI units has the value ke = x109 N.m2/C2

9. Example :
Tow protons in an atomic nucleus are typically separated by distance of 2x10-15 m.
The electric repulsion force F between the protons is
(note that k=9x109 N.m2/C2, charge of proton q=1.6x10-19 C) q r

12. The vector E has the SI units of newton per coulomb (N/C),
* An electric field is said to exist in the region of space around a charged object. When another charged object enters this electric field, an electric force acts on it.
The vector E has the SI units of newton per coulomb (N/C),

19. Electric charges have the following important properties:
• Unlike charges attract one another, and like charges repel one another.
• Charge is conserved.
• Charge is quantized—that is, it exists in discrete packets that are some integral
multiple of the electronic charge.
Conductors are materials in which charges move freely. Insulators are materials in which charges do not move freely.

20. where ˆr is a unit vector directed from the charge to the point in question.
The electric field is directed radially outward from a positive charge and radially inward toward a negative charge.
The electric field due to a group of point charges can be obtained by using
the superposition principle. That is, the total electric field at some point equals the vector sum of the electric fields of all the charges:

21. Electric field lines describe an electric field in any region of space
Electric field lines describe an electric field in any region of space. The number of lines per unit area through a surface perpendicular to the lines is proportional to the magnitude of E in that region.
