  1. Announcements: Lectures posted on: www.phys.uconn.edu/~rcote/ HW assignments, solutions etc. Homework #4: On Masterphysics : due next Friday at 8:00 AM Go to masteringphysics.com Midterm 1: next week (Oct. 5) Covers Ch. 20-25 Physics 1502: Lecture 12Today’s Agenda

  2. Resistors in series the current is the same in both R1 and R2 the voltage drops add R1 V R2 V R1 R2 Summary • Resistors in parallel • the voltage drop is the same in both R1 and R2 • the currents add

  3. Kirchoff's Laws e1 R I1 e2 I2 R I3 e3 R

  4. R a b C V c RC Circuits • Consider the circuit shown: • What will happen when we close the switch ? • Add the voltage drops going around the circuit, starting at point a. • IR + Q/C – V = 0 • In this case neither I nor Q are known or constant. But they are related, • This is a simple, linear differential equation.

  5. R a b C V c I Q t t RC Circuits • Case 1: Charging • Q1 = 0, Q2 = Q and t1 = 0, t2 = t • To get Current, I = dQ/dt

  6. R a b C t I Q t RC Circuits • Case 2: Discharging • To discharge the capacitor we have to take the battery out of the circuit c • To get Current, I = dQ/dt

  8. Lecture 12, ACT 2 If R = 3.0 kΩ, C = 6.0 nF, e1 = 10.0 V, Q = 18 nC, e2 = 6.0 V, and I = 5.0 mA, what is the potential difference Vb –Va ? a. –13 V b. +28 V c. +13 V d. –28 V e. +2.0V

  9. A The Ammeter Electrical Instruments The device that measures current is called an ammeter. R2 R1 - + e I Ideally, an ammeter should have zero resistance so that the measured current is not altered.

  10. V The Voltmeter Electrical Instruments The device that measures potential difference is called a voltmeter. I2 R2 R1 I Iv e An ideal voltmeter should have infinite resistance so that no current passes through it.

  11. Five Steps: Focus on the Problem - draw a picture – what are we asking for? Describe the physics what physics ideas are applicable what are the relevant variables known and unknown Plan the solution what are the relevant physics equations Execute the plan solve in terms of variables solve in terms of numbers Evaluate the answer are the dimensions and units correct? do the numbers make sense? Problem Solution Method:

  12. Example: Power in Resistive Electric Circuits A circuit consists of a 12 V battery with internal resistance of 2connected to a resistance of 10 . The current in the resistor is I, and the voltage across it is V. The voltmeter and the ammeter can be considered ideal; that is, their resistances are infinity and zero, respectively. What is the current I and voltage V measured by those two instruments ? What is the power dissipated by the battery ? By the resistance ? What is the total power dissipated in the circuit ? Comment on these various powers.

  13. Drawing with relevant parameters Voltmeter can be put a two places V I I R 10  r 2  V A 12 V e Step 1: Focus on the problem • What is the question ? • What is I ? • What is V ? • What is Pbattery ? • What is PR ? • What is Ptotal ? • Comment on the various P’s

  14. What concepts are relevant ? Potential difference in a loop is zero Energy is dissipated by resistance What are the known and unknown quantities ? Known: R = 10 ,r = 2 = 12 V Unknown: I, V, P’s Step 2: describe the physics

  15. What are the relevant physics equations ? Kirchoff’s first law: Power dissipated: For a resistance Step 3: plan the solution

  16. Find I: I I R r A e Step 4: solve with symbols e- Ir - IR = 0 • Find V: • Find the P’s:

  17. Putting in the numbers Step 4: solve numerically

  18. Are units OK ? [ I ] = Amperes [ V ] = Volts [ P ] = Watts Do they make sense ? the values are not too big, not too small … total power is larger than power dissipated in R Normal: battery is not ideal: it dissipates energy Step 5: Evaluate the answers

  20. Magnetic effects from natural magnets have been known for a long time. Recorded observations from the Greeks more than 2500 years ago. The word magnetism comes from the Greek word for a certain type of stone (lodestone) containing iron oxide found in Magnesia, a district in northern Greece – or maybe it comes from a shepherd named Magnes who got the stuff stuck to the nails in his shoes Properties of lodestones: could exert forces on similar stones and could impart this property (magnetize) to a piece of iron it touched. Small sliver of lodestone suspended with a string will always align itself in a north-south direction. ie can detect the magnetic field produced by the earth itself.This is a compass. Magnetism

  21. Bar magnet... two poles: N and S Like poles repel; Unlike poles attract. Magnetic Field lines:(defined in same way as electric field lines, direction and density) Bar Magnet You can see this field by bringing a magnet near a sheet covered with iron filings • Does this remind you of a similar case in electrostatics?

  22. Electric Field Linesof an Electric Dipole Magnetic Field Lines of a bar magnet

  23. One explanation: there exists magnetic charge, just like electric charge. An entity which carried this magnetic charge would be called a magnetic monopole (having + or - magnetic charge). How can you isolate this magnetic charge? Try cutting a bar magnet in half: S N S N S N Magnetic Monopoles • In fact no attempt yet has been successful in finding magnetic monopoles in nature. • Many searches have been made • The existence of a magnetic monopole could give an explanation (within framework of QM) for the quantization of electric charge (argument of P.A.M.Dirac)

  24. What is the source of magnetic fields, if not magnetic charge? Answer: electric charge in motion! eg current in wire surrounding cylinder (solenoid) produces very similar field to that of bar magnet. Therefore, understanding source of field generated by bar magnet lies in understanding currents at atomic level within bulk matter. Orbits of electrons about nuclei Intrinsic “spin” of electrons (more important effect) Source of Magnetic Fields?

  25. Electrically charged particles come under various sorts of forces. As we have already seen, an electric field provides a force to a charged particle, F = qE. Magnets exert forces on other magnets. Also, a magnetic field provides a force to a charged particle, but this force is in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. Forces due to Magnetic Fields?

  26. What is "magnetic force"? How is it distinguished from "electric" force? q v F mag Magnetic field B is defined operationally by the magnetic force on a test charge. (We did this to talk about the electric field too) Definition of Magnetic Field Start with some observations: CRT deflection • Empirical facts: a) magnitude: µ to velocity of q b) direction: ^ to direction of q
