  1. Winter wk 3 – Thus.20.Jan.05 • Ch.24: Voltage and electric field • Ch.26: Current and resistance • Solar applications • Ch.27: Circuits Energy Systems, EJZ

  2. Equipotential surfaces and E fields Equipotential = constant voltage Conductors are equipotentials, in electrostatics Potential difference  Electric field dV/dx = -E or, equivalently, Practice: Ch.24 Q5,8 (p.646), P#3, 4, 6, 35

  3. Ch.24 #4

  4. Ch.24 #6

  5. Ch.24 #35

  6. Electrostatics (d/dt=0): charges  fields  forces, energy • Charges make E fields and forces • charges make scalar potential differences dV • E can be found from V • Electric forces move charges • Electric fields store energy (capacitance) F = q E = m a W = qV, C = q/V

  7. Ch.26: Currents and Resistance Current = rate of flow of charge I = dq/dt Units:amps = coulombs/sec Current density: J = current/area = n e v Ch.26 Q1, 2, P.1, 8 Water flow: Electricity flow: pressure voltage V volume/time current I

  8. Ch.26: Q1, 2, P.1, 8

  9. Resistance Resistance = resistivity * area/length R = r * A/L Which conductor has the greatest resistivity? Ch.26: Q3

  10. Ohm’s law In many substances, for a given resistance R, the stronger the driving voltage, the greater the current that flows: Voltage = current * resistance V = I * R Ch.26 Q5, P.17

  11. Power in electric circuits Power = rate of energy xfr = voltage*current P = V I units: Watts = volts * amps Recall that work = qV. Units: J = CV Solve for V(J,C) = Then [volts]*[amps] = ____*C/s = ______ If V=IR, find P(I,R) = P(R,V) = Ch.26 #35, 64

  12. Ch.27: Circuits: Battery pumps electricity  current flows http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/watcir.html#c1

  13. Voltage = emf DVoltage = potential difference Electromotive force e = DV = dW/dq =work done per unit charge de/dx = -E = electric field

  14. Emf e and electric field E de/dx = -E = electric field Using the fundamental theorem of calculus, we can derive another of Maxwell’s eqns:

  15. Ch.27: Practice with simple circuits Q2 #5, 14

  16. Solar applications Storms from the Sun: p.13: If a CME travels at 1 million miles per hour, how long does it take to reach Earth? p.16: The 2 May 1994 event dumped 4600 GW-hr of electricity into Earth’s upper atmosphere. How much energy is that in Joules? p.16: If the Earth’s mean magnetic field is B0=0.5 Gauss, and one Tesla=104 Gauss, by what percent does 2000 nanoTesla change Earth’s field? p.54: For the CME of 1 Sept 1859: calculate its speed v, if it took 18 hours to reach Earth.

  17. more Solar applications Storms from the Sun: p.77: If Rsun = 100 REarth, then find the ratio of their volumes, Vsun/VEarth p.77: If m=5 millions tons of mass is converted to energy (E=mc2) each second, calculate the power (P) produced by the Sun. p.82: If the Sun’s mass is M=2x1030 kg, and it keeps losing dm/dt = 5 million tons per second, how long (T) can the Sun last? p.83: If the solar wind pours I=1 million amps into Earths magnetosphere, how much charge (Q) is that per day?

  18. Extra solar applications p.13: Calculate vthermal from Tsolar wind. Compare to vflow. p.16: Derive the altitude for a geosynchronous orbit p.77: If the Sun’s core temperature is about T=107K, calculate the thermal speed vth of protons in the core.
