Objective • To mathematically observe charges in atoms • To find the Electrostatic Force between two different charges
Electric Charge • What is an Electric Charge? • Atomic forms of matter • 2 main charges: • Proton (+) Positive Charge • Electron (-) Negative Charge • Units? • Coulombs (C) • Numerical Value? • Proton = +1.6 x 10-19 C • Electron = -1.6 x 10-19 C • 2 Interactions • LIKE(aka. Same) Charges = Repel • UNLIKE(aka. Different) Charges = Attract
Coulombs Law • What is Coulombs Law? • Magnitude or the Electric Force of two charges in an object(s) or atom(s) • Equation? • F = Force or Magnitude , q1= Charge of object 1 q2= Charge of object 2 , r = Radius, k= Coulombs constant , () – Absolute Value- makes all numbers positive • Value of k? 9 x 109 Nm2/c2
practice • Two 0.5 kg spheres are placed 25 cm apart. Each sphere has a charge of 100 μC. • A ) Calculate the electrostatic force between them. B) Write their sign charge • Two Spheres REPEL, because both charges are (+)
DIY • Two charges, Q1= +8 µC and Q2= -5 µC, are separated by a distance r= 10 cm • A) Find the Magnitude between two charges and B) Does it Repel or Attract? • Q1= +8 µC +8×10-6 C • Q2= -5 µC -5×10-6 C • Attracts (+) and (-)
Electric Field E= Electric Field (N/C) k= Coulombs Constant (9 x 109 Nm2/c2) q1 = Charge of object 1 r = radius or distance • What is an Electric Field? (E) • A directional field force around positive or negative charges • Units? • N / C • Equation?
Practice • What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field 0.25 meters away from a point charge, q1, with 5.0 µC • q1 = 5 µC 5×10-6 C
DIY • What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field 0.75 meters away from a point charge, q1, with +3.7 nC • q1 = +3.7 nC +3.7×10-9 C
Field Directions • Positive charge • Points AWAY from the charge • Negative charge • Points TOWARD from the charge
