3. Physics 212 - Intro http://online.physics.uiuc.edu/courses/phys212 • Everything can be found online • You have web based Prelectures and Checkpoints duebefore every lecture. • You have web based homework due every week. • Be sure to complete Prelecture 2 and Checkpoint 2 before 8 am on Tuesday. • Bring pen & notebook to lecture – you will be working on problems • Register your clicker ASAP so you can see your participation grade. • Labs & Discussions • Discussion Sections meet this week • Labs start Thursday June 14. You must have the prelab done before! 05

4. Prelectures: 50 Checkpoints: 25 Lecture participation: 25 Your top 22 HW/Quiz scores determine your grade out of 250. Bonus Points: You can earn up to 1 extra bonus point in every lecture (for a maximum of 25 bonus points for the semester) by getting the right answers to all of the clicker questions. At the end of the semester your lecture bonus points are added to your HW/Quiz score (250 max). You can make up for several bad quizzes by answering correctly in class. How your grade will be calculated 06

5. Q: What are the benefits of participating ? A: You learn more Data from last year’s first exam 07

6. Big Brother is Watching • How Do We Distinguish “Viewers” from “Non-Viewers”? • We log all keystrokes !! Results for today’s lecture

7. Clickers • Research shows you learn more when you talk! • 1 point for each lecture • Maximum of 25 points! • (No EX’s but there are 28 lectures) • Maximum 1 bonus point/lecture 1. Power On 2. Hold ON/OFF until POWER light flashes 3. Press BB 09

8. points performance Homework Immediate feedback questions Your answer has been judged correct; the exact answer is: 1.0078643271894E+00 1.0 1.0 1.0 11

9. Homework: Delayed Feedback These questions serve as a test of your understanding of the questions posed as immediate feedback. After first deadline Delayed Feedback questions turn into “immediate feedback questions”. 80% credit can be obtained by answering these questions correctly before the second deadline. Purpose: Promote REFLECTION 11

10. q1 q1 q1 q2 Opposite signs attract Coulomb’s Law: The force on a charge due to another charge is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the separation squared. q2 r The force is always parallel to a line connecting the charges, but the direction depends on the signs of the charges: q2 Like signs repel q2 q1 11

11. Balloons BB Take two balloons and rub them both with a piece of cloth. After you rub them they will: • Attract each-other • Repel each-other • Either – it depends on the material of the cloth 13

12. Balloons If the same thing is done to both balloons they will acquire the same sign charge. They will repel ! + + + + + + + + 14

13. Our notation is the force by 1 on 2 (think “by-on ”) is the unit vector that points from 1 to 2. q1 q2 q1 q2 Coulomb’s Law Examples If the charges have the same sign, the force by charge 1 on charge 2 would be in the direction of r12 (to the right) If the charges have opposite sign, the force by charge 1 on charge 2 would be opposite the direction of r12 (left) 17

14. Example: Coulomb Force BB • Two paperclips are separated by 10 meters. Then you remove 1 electron from each atom on the first paperclip and place it on the second one. k= 9 x 109 N m2 / C2 electron charge = 1.6 x 10-19 Coulombs NA = 6.02 x 1023 What will the direction of the force be? A) Attractive B) Repulsive 17

15. Example: Coulomb Force BB • Two paperclips are separated by 10 meters. Then you remove 1 electron from each atom on the first paperclip and place it on the second one. k= 9 x 109 N m2 / C2 electron charge = 1.6 x 10-19 Coulombs NA = 6.02 x 1023 • Which weight is closest to the approximate force between those paperclips (recall that weight = mg, g = 9.8 m/s2)? • Paperclip (1g x g) • Text book (1kg x g) • Truck (104 kg x g) • Aircraft carrier (108 kg x g) • Mt. Everest (1014 kg x g) 22

17. q2 F1 F2,1 F4,1 F3,1 F2,1 q1 F4,1 F1 F3,1 q4 q3 Superposition: If there are more than two charges present, the total force on any given charge is just the vector sum of the forces due to each of the other charges: 28

18. Superposition ACT BB q2 q1 q4 q3 What happens to Force on q1 if its sign is changed • |F1| increases • |F1| remains the same • |F1| decreases • Need more information to determine 30

19. q2 q2 F4,1 F4,1 F2,1 F2,1 q1 F1 F1 F3,1 F3,1 q4 q4 q3 q3 The direction of all forces changes by 180o – the magnitudes stay the same: q1 F1 F1 F2,1 F2,1 F3,1 F3,1 F4,1 F4,1 33

20. Checkpoint BB +Q +Q q q F1 +Q -Q Case 1 Case 2 • Compare the magnitude of the net force on q in the two cases. • |F1 | > |F2| • |F1 | = |F2| • |F1 |< |F2| • Depends on sign of q F2 = 0 33

21. Checkpoint Four charged particles are placed on a circular ring with radius 3 m as shown below. A particle with charge Q is placed in the center of the ring y What is the direction of horizontal force on Q? A) Fx > 0 B) Fx = 0 C) Fx < 0 3q x Q q q q 41

22. Checkpoint BB 3q Four charged particles are placed on a circular ring with radius 3 m as shown below. A particle with charge Q is placed in the center of the ring. Assume that all charges in the problem have the same sign. y Q x q q q What is vertical force on Q? A) Fy > 0 B) Fy = 0 C) Fy < 0 47
