Electric Field from a Ring of Charge Consider symmetry: all perpendicular fields cancel, only parallel components (cos q) r z R Linear charge density
Electric Field from a Ring of Charge r z R Linear charge density
Electric Field Suppose I put a charge close to the ring: Describe the motion of the particle: In what direction does the particle move? Does the particle move at a constant velocity ? Where does the particle stop ? r z q R Linear charge density
q2 = -1 C 10 cm 5 cm q1 = +1 C Dipoles • A dipole is a postive and negative charge separated by a distance d • Commonly found in molecules! Though the distances and charges are much smaller! Dipole moment is qd. It is a vector!
E-field from a Dipole: Limits If z is large, ie, far away from the dipole The field from a dipole weakens as one goes further away faster than a point charge.
q2 = -1 C q1 = +1 C E-field from a Dipole Dipole Axis d/2 What is the field along the dipole axis? d/2 Field from Point charge A dipole is just two point charges in a specific arrangment.

Dipoles in an field - + In a uniform field, the force on each end is equal but opposite; no net force [as the charges are connected!] In a nonuniform field, the force on each end is not equal but opposite; So a net force
Dipoles in an field In a uniform field, the force on each end is equal but opposite; no net force [as the charges are connected!] - + There can be a torque!! If the dipole moment makes an angle with the field, t=dFsinq, where F is the force on 1 charge, and so t=dqEsinq=pEsinq What is the lever
Electric Flux • Electric Flux is the amount of electric field flowing through a surface • When electric field is at an angle, only the part perpendicular to the surface counts E • Multiply by cos En • For a non-constant electric field, or a curvy surface, you have to integrate over the surface E = EnA= EA cos • Usually you can pick your surface so that the integration doesn’t need to be done given a constant field
R Electric Flux • What is electric flux through surface surrounding a charge q? charge q Answer is always 4keq
Gauss’s Law charge q • Flux out of an enclosed region depends only on total charge inside A positive charge q is set down outside a sphere. Qualitatively, what is the total electric flux out of the sphere as a consequence? A) Positive B) Negative C) Zero D) It is impossible to tell from the given information
R Gauss’ Law and Coulumb’s • Suppose we had • measured the flux as: • From Gauss’ law: So Gauss’ law implies Coulomb’s law charge q • What if we lived in a Universe with a different number of physical dimensions?
