  3. Outline Electric Dipoles Force and Torque on Dipole Continuous Charge Distributions

  4. Nature Likes to Make Dipoles http://youtu.be/EMj10YIjkaY

  5. Demonstration: Electric field Lines D16

  6. Dipole in Uniform Field Total Net Force: Torque on Dipole: tends to align with the electric field

  7. Torque on Dipole Total Field (dipole + background) shows torque: • Field lines transmit tension • Connection between dipole field and constant field “pulls” dipole into alignment

  8. Demonstration: Dipole in a Van de Graaff Generator D22

  9. Demonstration:Bouncing BalloonVan de Graaf Generator D17

  10. E Concept Question: Dipole in Non-Uniform Field A dipole sits in a non-uniform electric field E Due to the electric field this dipole will feel: • force but no torque • no force but a torque • both a force and a torque • neither a force nor a torque

  11. E Concept Question Answer: Non-Uniform Field Answer: 3. both force and torque Because the field is non-uniform, the forces on the two equal but opposite point charges do not cancel. As always, the dipole wants to rotate to align with the field – there is a torque on the dipole as well

  12. Continuous Charge Distributions

  13. Continuous Charge Distributions Break distribution into parts: V E field at P due to Superposition:

  14. Continuous Sources: Charge Density

  15. Group Problem: Charge Densities • A solid cylinder, of length L and radius R, is uniformly charged with total charge Q. • What is the volume charge density ρ? • What is the linear charge density λ? • What is the relationship between these two densities ρ and λ?

  16. Examples of Continuous Sources: Finite Line of Charge E field on perpendicular bisector

  17. Examples of Continuous Sources: Finite Line of Charge E field off axis

  18. Examples of Continuous Sources: Finite Line of Charge Grass seeds of total E field

  19. A rod of length L lies along the x-axis with its left end at the origin. The rod has a uniform charge density λ. Which of the following expressions best describes the electric field at the point P Concept Question Electric Field of a Rod

  20. A rod of length L lies along the x-axis with its left end at the origin. The rod has a uniform charge density λ. Which of the following expressions best describes the electric field at the point P Concept Question Electric Field of a Rod: Answer

  21. Group Problem: Line of Charge Point P lies on perpendicular bisector of uniformly charged line of length L, a distance s away. The charge on the line is Q. Find an integral expression for the direction and magnitude of the electric field at P.

  22. Hint on Line of Charge Group Problem Typically give the integration variable (x’) a “primed” variable name. ALSO: Difficult integral (trig. sub.)

  23. E Field from Line of Charge Limits: s >> L (far away) and s << L (close) Looks like the E field of a point charge if we are far away Looks like E field of an infinite charged line if we are close

  24. Examples of Continuous Sources: Ring of Charge E field on the axis of the ring of charge

  25. Examples of Continuous Sources: Ring of Charge E field off axis and grass seeds plot

  26. A uniformly charged ring of radius a has total charge Q. Which of the following expressions best describes the electric field at the point P located at the center of the ring? Concept Question Electric Field of a Ring

  27. A uniformly charged ring of radius a has total charge Q. Which of the following expressions best describes the electric field at the point P located at the center of the ring? Concept Question Electric Field of a Ring: Answer

  28. Demonstration Problem: Ring of Charge Aring of radius a is uniformly charged with total charge Q. Find the direction and magnitude of the electric field at the point P lying a distance x from the center of the ring along the axis of symmetry of the ring.

  29. Ring of Charge 1) Think about it Symmetry! 2) Define Variables

  30. Ring of Charge 3) Write Equation

  31. Ring of Charge 4) Integrate This particular problem is a very special case because everything except dq is constant, and

  32. Ring of Charge 5) Clean Up 6) Check Limit

  33. Group Problem: Uniformly Charged Disk P on axis of disk of charge, x from center Radius R, charge density s. Find E at P

  34. Disk: Two Important Limits Limits: x >> R (far) and x << R (close) Looks like E of a point charge far away Looks like E field of an infinite charged plane close up

  35. Scaling: E for Plane is Constant • Dipole: E falls off like 1/r3 • Point charge: E falls off like 1/r2 • Line of charge: E falls off like 1/r • Plane of charge: E constant
