  3. Gauss’ law At each point on the surface of the cube shown in Fig. 24-26, the electric field is in the z direction. The length of each edge of the cube is 2.3 m. On the top surface of the cube E = -38k N/C, and on the bottom face of the cube E = +11k N/C. Determine the net charge contained within the cube.[-2.29e-09] C

  8. Electric Fields With Insulating Sphere

  9. Electric potential: • What is the potential produced by a system of charges? (Several point charges, or a continuous distribution) • Electric field lines, equipotential surfaces: lines go from +ve to –ve charges; lines are perpendicular to equipotentials; lines (and equipotentials) never cross each other… • Electric potential, work and potential energy: work to bring a charge somewhere is W = –qV (signs!). Potential energy of a system = negative work done to build it. • Conductors: field and potential inside conductors, and on the surface. • Shell theorem: systems with spherical symmetry can be thought of as a single point charge (but how much charge?) • Symmetry, and “infinite” systems.

  10. Electric potential, electric potential energy, work In Fig. 25-39, point P is at the center of the rectangle. With V = 0 at infinity, what is the net electric potential in terms of q/d at P due to the six charged particles?

  11. Derive an expression in terms of q2/a for the work required to set up the four-charge configuration of Fig. 25-50, assuming the charges are initially infinitely far apart. The electric potential at points in an xy plane is given by V = (2.0 V/m2)x2 - (4.0 V/m2)y2. What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field at point (3.0 m, 3.0 m)?

  12. +Q +Q +Q +Q Potential Energy of A System of Charges • 4 point charges (each +Q) are connected by strings, forming a square of side L • If all four strings suddenly snap, what is the kinetic energy of each charge when they are very far apart? • Use conservation of energy: • Final kinetic energy of all four charges = initial potential energy stored = energy required to assemble the system of charges Do this from scratch! Don’t memorize the formula in the book! We will change the numbers!!!

  13. +Q +Q +Q +Q Potential Energy of A System of Charges: Solution • No energy needed to bring in first charge: U1=0 • Energy needed to bring in 2nd charge: • Energy needed to bring in 3rd charge = Total potential energy is sum of all the individual terms shown on left hand side = • Energy needed to bring in 4th charge = So, final kinetic energy of each charge =

  21. No vectors! Just add with sign. One over distance. Since all charges same and all distances same all potentials same.

  22. (a) Since Δx is the same, only |ΔV| matters! |ΔV1| =200, |ΔV2| =220, |ΔV3| =200 |E2| > |E3| = |E1| The bigger the voltage drop the stronger the field. Δx (b) = 3 (c) F = qE = ma accelerate leftward

  24. –Q +Q Isolated Parallel Plate Capacitor: ICPP • A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C is charged using a battery. • Charge = Q, potential voltage difference = V. • Battery is then disconnected. If the plate separation is INCREASED, does the capacitance C: (a) Increase? (b) Remain the same? (c) Decrease? If the plate separation is INCREASED, does the Voltage V: (a) Increase? (b) Remain the same? (c) Decrease? • Q is fixed! • d increases! • C decreases (= ε0A/d) • V=Q/C; V increases.

  25. –Q +Q Parallel Plate Capacitor & Battery: ICPP • A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C is charged using a battery. • Charge = Q, potential difference = V. • Plate separation is INCREASED while battery remains connected. • V is fixed constant by battery! • C decreases (=ε0A/d) • Q=CV; Q decreases • E = σ/ε0 = Q/ε0A decreases Does the Electric Field Inside: (a) Increase? (b) Remain the Same? (c) Decrease? Battery does work on capacitor to maintain constant V!

  26. Capacitors Capacitors Q=CV In series: same charge 1/Ceq=∑1/Cj In parallel: same voltage Ceq=∑Cj

  27. Capacitors in Series and in Parallel • What’s the equivalent capacitance? • What’s the charge in each capacitor? • What’s the potential across each capacitor? • What’s the charge delivered by the battery?

  28. Capacitors: Checkpoints, Questions

  29. Parallel plates: C = ε0 A/dSpherical: • Cylindrical: C = 2πε0 L/ln(b/a)] Hooked to battery V is constant. Q=VC (a) d increases -> C decreases -> Q decreases (b) a inc -> separation d=b-a dec. -> C inc. -> Q increases (c) b increases -> separation d=b-a inc.-> C dec. -> Q decreases

  30. PARALLEL: • V is same for all capacitors • Total charge = sum of Q • SERIES: • Q is same for all capacitors • Total potential difference = • sum of V • Parallel: Voltage is same V on each but charge is q/2 on each since • q/2+q/2=q. (b) Series: Charge is same q on each but voltage is V/2 on eachsince V/2+V/2=V.

  32. Example: Battery Disconnected — Voltage V Changes but Charge Q is Constant • Initial values: capacitance = C; charge = Q; potential difference = V; electric field = E; • Battery remains disconnected • Q is FIXED; Qnew = Q (same) • Cnew =κC(increases) • Vnew = Q/Cnew= Q/(κC)(decreases). • Since Vnew < V, Enew = Vnew/d = E/κ (decreases) dielectric slab Energy stored?

Fig. 27-33 (a) Find the equivalent resistance between points F and H. (b) Find the equivalent resistance between points F and G. Slide Rules: You may bend the wires but not break them. You may slide any circuit element along a wire so long as you don’t slide it past a three (or more) point junction or another circuit element.
