Charge • Charge comes in two forms, which Ben Franklin designated as positive (+) and negative(–). • Charge is quantized. • The smallest possible stable charge, which we designate as e, is the magnitude of the charge on 1 electron or 1 proton. • We say a proton has charge of e, and an electron has a charge of –e. • e is referred to as the “elementary” charge. • e = 1.602 × 10-19 Coulombs. • The coulomb is the SI unit of charge.
Determine the charge on a charged body: N = number of electrons q = charge e = charge of 1 electron, which is -1.60x10-19C Example: 3x1015 electrons are placed on the sphere by induction with a radius of 0.2m. What is the charge on the sphere?
N = q / e • A certain static discharge delivers -0.5 Coulombs of electrical charge. How many electrons are in this discharge? N = (-0.5 C) / (-1.602 x 10-19 C) = 3,121,098,626,716,604,245
1 mol = 6.02 x1023 molecules 2 mol = 1.204 x1024 molecules • How much positive charge resides in two moles of hydrogen gas (H2)? • How many electrons reside in the hydrogen gas? • How much net charge? Each H atom has 1 proton There is 2 H atoms per molecule # protons = 2 ·1.204 x1024 molecules = 2.408 x 1024 # electrons is equal to the number of protons # electrons = 2.408 x 1024 Net charge is 0 because there is an equal number of protons and electrons
The total charge of a system composed of 1800 particles, all of which are protons or electrons, is 31x10-18 C. • How many protons are in the system? • How many electrons are in the system? q = 31x10-18C e =1.6x10-19C N = 31x 10-18 C / 1.6x10-19 C = 194 N = q / e We must have 194 protons than electrons # protons = 997 # electrons = 803
The atom • The atom has positive charge in the nucleus, located in the protons. The positive charge cannot move from the atom unless there is a nuclear reaction. • The atom has negative charge in the electron cloud on the outside of the atom. Electrons can move from atom to atom without all that much difficulty. • Question • You charge the balloon by rubbing it on hair or on a sweater, and the balloon becomes negative. How can it pick up a neutral tissue?

Charges exert forces on each other. • Like charges (two positives, or two negatives) repel each other, resulting in a repulsive force. • Opposite charges (a positive and a negative) attract each other, resulting in an attractive force.
Coulomb’s Law • Coulomb’s law tells us how the magnitude of the force between two particles varies with their charge and with the distance between them. • k = 8.99 × 109 N m2 / C2 • q1, q2 are charges (C) • r is distance between the charges (m) • F is force (N) • Coulomb’s law applies directly only to spherically symmetric charges.
Sometimes you see Coulomb’s Law written in a slightly different form • ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/ N m2 permittivity of space constant • q1, q2 are charges (C) • r is distance between the charges (m) • F is force (N) • This version is theoretically derived and less practical than form 1

Superposition • Electrical force, like all forces, is a vector quantity. • If a charge is subjected to forces from more than one other charge, vector addition must be performed. • Vector addition to find the resultant vector is sometimes called superposition.

The Electric Field • The presence of + or – charge modifies empty space. This enables the electrical force to act on charged particles without actually touching them. • We say that an “electric field” is created in the space around a charged particle or a configuration of Charges. • If a charged particle is placed in an electric field created by other charges, it will experience a force as a result of the field. • Sometimes we know about the electric field without knowing much about the charge configuration that created it. • We can easily calculate the electric force from the electric field.
Why use fields? • Forces exist only when two or more particles are present. • Fields exist even if no force is present. • The field of one particle only can be calculated.
The arrows in a field are not vectors, they are “lines of force”. • The lines of force indicate the direction of the force on a positive charge placed in the field. • Negative charges experience a force in the opposite direction. + • Field around a charge -

Field Vectors from Field Lines • The electric field at a given point is not the field line itself, but can be determined from the field line. • Vectors of any kind are never curvy • Field Lines and Path of Moving Charge • The electric field lines do notrepresent the patha test charge would travel. • The electric field lines represent the directionof the electric force on a test particle placed in the field.

Force from Electric Field • The force on a charged particle placed in an electric field is easily calculated. • F = E q • F: Force (N) • E: Electric Field (N/C) • q: Charge (C)

For Spherical Electric Fields • The Electric Field surrounding a point charge or a spherical charge can be calculated by: • E = k q / r2 • E: Electric Field (N/C) • k: 8.99 x 109 N m2/C2 • q: Charge (C) • r: distance from center of charge q (m) • Remember that k = 1/4πε0 ∑F = qE • E = k q / r2
Principle of Superposition • When more than one charge contributes to the electric field, the resultant electric field is the vector sum of the electric fields produced by the various charges. • Again, as with force vectors, this is referred to as superposition. • Remember… • Electric field lines are NOT VECTORS, but may be used to derive the direction of electric field vectors at given points. • The resulting vector gives the direction of the electric force on a positive charge placed in the field.

Electric Potential Energy • Electrical potential energy is the energy contained in a configuration of charges. • Like all potential energies, when it goes up the configuration is less stable; when it goes down, the configuration is more stable. • The unit is the Joule.
