Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Goals for Chapter 21 To study electric charge and see how charge behaves in conductors and insulators To calculate force with Coulomb’s Law To consider the electric field as a map of force on a test charge To see how electric fields superimpose To visualize and consider the path of electric field lines around a charge or charges To see the unique applications of electric dipoles

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Introduction Water pervades the science of chemistry and biology. It’s not only what we drink when we’re thirsty, but it’s been called “the universal solvent.” Even if we were to only look at water, and water as a solvent, we would see a simple problem like salt dissolving in water is the interaction of electrostatic charges, of ions and dipoles.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley The photocopier, a very clever tool The world may have come to take copiers for granted, but they are amazing devices. They use charge to hold fine dust in patterns until the pattern may be transferred to paper and made permanent with heat.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley How is the atom arranged? Why is it easiest to move electrons? Visualize a football stadium as an atom. Electrons would be garden peas in the highest seats with charge of −1. Protons would be basketballs or melons with charge of +1, and neutrons would reside about the protons with no charge. All of the protons and neutrons could be in a small basket on the 50-yard line.
7
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Consider lithium as a cation, an anion, and a neutral Let’s study the subatomic arrangement of lithium with all charges balanced and the way only electrons move to make the atom an ion (+ or −).
8
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Movement of charges—charging by conduction Materials that allow easy passage of charge are called conductors. Materials that resist electronic flow are called insulators. The motion of electrons through conducts and about insulators allows us to observe “opposite charges attract” and “like charges repel.”
9
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Electrons move freely and charges may be induced Take a child’s toy, a rubber balloon. If you rub the balloon vigorously on a fuzzy sweater then bring the balloon slowly toward a painted concrete or plaster wall, the balloon will stick to the wall and remain for some time. The electrostatic force between static electrons and the induced positive charge in the wall attract more strongly than the weight of the balloon.
10
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Static electricity about an insulator can shift The motion of static charges about a plastic comb and light bits of paper can cause attractive forces strong enough to overcome the weight of the paper.
11
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Charges will “seek” motion to ground An uncharged conductor can attract the charge imparted to paint droplets.
12
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Charles Coulomb determined the electrostatic force law Coulomb’s Law allows the calculation of electrostatic attraction or repulsion.
13
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Examples of electrical force calculated—I A fascinating comparison of gravitational force to electrostatic force is shown in Example 21.1 and Figure 21.11. Regard Problem-Solving Strategy 21.1. See also Example 21.2 and Figure 21.12.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Examples of electrical force calculated—II Consider Example 21.3 and Figure 21.13. See also Example 21.4 and Figure 21.14.
15
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Electric fields may be mapped by force on a test charge If one measured the force on a test charge at all points relative to another charge or charges, an electric field may be mapped. This experiment is often done in one’s mind (called a “gedanken experiment”).
16
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Electric fields I—the point charge Fields of force may be sketched for different arrangements of charge. Consider Example 21.6 and Figure 21.19.
17
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Electric fields II—charges in motion within a field Consider Example 21.7. Consider Example 21.8 and Figure 21.21.

22
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Electric dipoles and water As mentioned in the introduction, the dipole force of water is vital to chemistry and biology.
23
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Consider force and torque on a dipole Regard Figure 21.32. Follow Example 21.14 and Figure 21.33.
