  3. Electric Charge:Objects carrying charges of opposite signs attract each other; Objects carrying charges of the same sign repel each other Positive, the charge acquired by a glass rod when is rubbed with a piece of silk, (Franklin criteria), then electrons are transferred to silk. The piece of silk acquires the same Negative charge Law of Conservation of Charge Charge Quantizacion The SI unit of charge is the coulomb [C] Fundamental Unit of Charge e = 1.602177 x 10-19 C

  4. The girl has been charged by contact with the dome of a Van de Graaff generator. She is isolated from the floor. Could you explain why her hair is as shown in the picture?

  5. Conductors Insulators Conductorsmaterials where the charges, usually electrons, are free to move about the the entire material, such as copper, iron,.. Insulators materials where the charges can not move freely, such as glass, wood Charging by Induction An object that has separated equal and opposite charges is said to be polarized What happens with the charges distribution on the spheres once the rod is removed? Induction via grounding: using the earth as an infinitely large conductor

  6. Coulomb´s Law k Coulomb constant: 8.99x109 N. m2/C2 Unit vector pointing from q1to q2 Is the force exerted by q1on q2 In a hydrogen atom, the electron is separated from the proton by an average distance of about 5.3x10-11m. Calculate the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction. Compare the electrostatic force with the gravity force between the proton and the electron. Force exerted by a System of Charges: Principle of superposition of forces Three charges are placed as shown in the figure. Calculate the force exerted on the particle at top of the isosceles triangle. Q= 10 μC; q= 500 nC; d = 10 cm Coulomb´s torsion balance

  7. The Electric Field The force exerted on the charge q q is a small positive test charge SI units [N/C] [V/m] Electric Field for a system of charges To avoid the conceptual problem of the action at a distance –instantaneous transmission- the concept of electric field is introduced [Suppose that a charged particle at some point is suddenly moved. Does the force exerted on a particle some distance away change instantaneously?] Derive a general expression for the electric field on a point P due to a single charge Q. P is placed at a distance r of the charge. Estimate the value of the electric field for Q=10 nC and r= 15m.

  8. Electric Dipole A system of two equal and opposite charges separated by a small distance is called a electric dipole . Its strength and orientation is described by the electric dipole moment Exercise: Calculate the electric field of dipole in point P in the dipole axis. Consider the situation when x»a.

  9. The Electric Field Lines, or Lines of Force At any given point, the field vector E is tangent to the field line. They are also called lines of force because they show the direction of the force exerted on the positive test charge. The density of the lines (the number of lines per unit of area perpendicular to the lines) at any point is proportional to the magnitude of the field at that point

  10. The Electric Field Lines The electric field lines for two conducting spheres are shown in the figure. What is the relative sign and magnitudes of the charges on the two spheres? (A) Picture a uniform vertical electric field E = -2000 N/C. (B)The same but the value of electric field is two times the previous value.

  11. Calculating Electric Field for Continous Charge Distribution In the macroscopic world charge can usually be described as continuosly distributed. When the charge is distributed on a volume Volume charge density When the charge is distributed on a surface Surface charge density When the charge is distributed along a line Linear charge density Applying Coulomb´s Law and the principle of superposition

  12. Calculating Electric Field for Continous Charge Distribution. E on the Axis of a finite Line charge E on the Axis of a finite Line charge E due to an infinite line charge

  13. Gauss´s Law Gauss´s Law is one of the so called Maxwell´s Equations that describe the electromagnetics phenomena. For static charges, Coulomb´s Law and Gauss´s Law are equivalent, but Gauss´s Law is more general. Gauss´s Law can be used to calculate the electric field for charge distribution with high degree of symmetry Gauss´s Law:The net number of lines out of any surface enclosing the charges is proportional to the net charge enclosed by the surface

  14. Gauss´s Law The number of field lines penetrating a surface is called the electric flux. Units: N. m2/C Electric Flux ϕ If we consider a surface A perpendicular to E, In the case of surface that is not perpendicular to E, the dot product enables us to obtain the value of area perpendicular to the electric field.

  15. Calculating E from Gauss´s Law. The power of symmetry Electric field for a single point charge The electric field exhibits spherical symmetry around the charge. Then we consider a spherical surface with center on the charge to apply Gauss´s law. The value of E is constant in all points of this sphere. The flux is independent from the selected sphere Writing Gauss´s Law and Coulomb´s Law in terms of permitivity of free space

  16. Calculating E from Gauss´s Law. The power of symmetry Electric field for a Thin Spherical Shell of Charge The electric field exhibits spherical symmetry around the uniform charge distribution . Then we consider a spherical surface with the same center as the shell of charge to apply Gauss´s law. The value of E is constant in all points of this sphere. The flux is independent from the selected sphere For a gaussian sphere inside of the shell charge In the Earth´s atmosphere, the electric field is 150 N/C downwards at an altitude of 250 m, and 170 N/C downwards at an altitude of 400 m. Calculate the volume charge density of the atmosphere assuming it to be uniform between both altitudes.

Field Lines and Equipotential Surfaces Charge and Field at Conductor Surface. Motion of Point Charges in Electric Field. Electric Dipoles in Electric Field

  18. Potential difference Electrostatic force is a conservative force, therefore the change in the potential energy, U, is given by The potential energy per unit of charge, positive, called the potential difference (voltage) is: Units: Volt (V)= 1 J/C 1 N/C = 1 V/m 1 eV= 1.60x10-19 J For convenience, the electric potential and the potential energy of a test charge are chosen to be zero in the same point electron volt [eV]
