2. Charge in the Atom • Protons (+) • Electrons (-) • Ions • Polar Molecules Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

3. 23.1 Properties of Electric Charges • Conservation electricity is the implication that electric charge is always conserved. • That is, when one object is rubbed against another, charge is not created in the process. The electrified state is due to a transfer of charge from one object to the other. • One object gains some amount of negative charge while the other gains an equal amount of positive charge. • Quantization • The smallest unit of charge is that on an electron or proton. (e = 1.6 x 10-19 C) • It is impossible to have less charge than this • It is possible to have integer multiples of this charge Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

4. 23.2 Charging Objects By Induction Conductors and Insulators • Conductor transfers charge on contact • Insulator does not transfer charge on contact • Semiconductor might transfer charge on contact Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

5. Charge Transfer Processes • Conduction • Polarization • Induction Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

6. 23-3 Coulomb’s Law • Empirical Observations • Formal Statement Direction of the force is along the line joining the two charges Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

7. Consider two electric charges: q1 and q2 The electric force F between these two charges separated by a distance r is given by Coulomb’s Law The constant k is called Coulomb’s constant and is given by • The coulomb constant is also written as • 0 is the “electric permittivity of vacuum” • A fundamental constant of nature Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

8. Double one of the charges • force doubles • Change sign of one of the charges • force changes direction • Change sign of both charges • force stays the same • Double the distance between charges • force four times weaker • Double both charges • force four times stronger Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

9. Example: What is the force between two charges of 1 C separated by 1 meter? Answer: 8.99 x 109 N, Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

10. Coulomb’s Law Example • What is the magnitude of the electric force of attraction between an iron nucleus (q=+26e) and its innermost electron if the distance between them is 1.5 x 10-12 m • The magnitude of the Coulomb force is • F = kQ1Q2/r2 • = (9.0 x 109 N · m2/C2)(26)(1.60 x 10–19 C)(1.60 x 10–19 C)/(1.5x10–12 m)2 • = 2.7 x 10–3 N. Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

11. Example - The Helium Nucleus Part 1: The nucleus of a helium atom has two protons and two neutrons. What is the magnitude of the electric force between the two protons in the helium nucleus? Answer: 58 N Part 2: What if the distance is doubled; how will the force change? Answer: 14.5 N Inverse square law: If the distance is doubled then the force is reduced by a factor of 4. Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

12. q3 Example - Equilibrium Position • Consider two charges located on the x axis • The charges are described by • q1 = 0.15 C x = 0.0 m • q2 = 0.35 C x = 0.40 m • Where do we need to put a third charge for that charge to be at an equilibrium point? At the equilibrium point, the forces from the two charges will cancel. Here the forces from q1 and q2 can balance. Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

13. Zero Resultant Force, Example Two fixed charges, 1mC and -3mC are separated by 10cm as shown in the figure (a) where may a third charge be located so that no force acts on it?  • The magnitudes of the individual forces will be equal • Directions will be opposite • Will result in a quadratic • Choose the root that gives the forces in opposite directions Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

14. Example: two charges are located on the positive x-axis of a coordinate system, as shown in the figure.  Charge q1=2nC is 2cm from the origin, and charge  q2=-3nC is 4cm from the origin.  What is the total force exerted by these two charges on a charge q3=5nC located at the origin? The total force on q3 is the vector sum of the forces due to q1 and q2 individually. The total force is directed to the left, with magnitude 1.41x10-4N. Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

15. Example - Charged Pendulums y x • Consider two identical charged balls hanging from the ceiling by strings of equal length 1.5 m (in equilibrium). Each ball has a charge of 25 C. The balls hang at an angle  = 25 with respect to the vertical. What is the mass of the balls? Step 1: Three forces act on each ball: Coulomb force, gravity and the tension of the string. Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

16. Example - Charged Pendulums (2) Step 2: The balls are in equilibrium positions. That means the sum of all forces acting on the ball is zero! d=2 l sin q Answer: m = 0.76 kg A similar analysis applies to the ball on the right. Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

17. Electric Force and Gravitational Force • Coulomb’s Law that describes the electric force and Newton’s gravitational law have a similar functional form • Both forces vary as the inverse square • of the distance between the objects. • Gravitation is always attractive. • k and G give the strength of the force. Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

18. Example: An electron is released above the surface of the Earth. A second electron directly below it exerts an electrostatic force on the first electron just great enough to cancel out the gravitational force on it. How far below the first electron is the second? Fe 5.1 m e mg r = ? e Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

19. The electron and proton of a hydrogen atom are separated (on the average) by a distance of approximately 5.3 x10-11 m. Find the magnitudes of the electric force and the gravitational force between the two particles. Compare the electrostatic and gravitational the forces Fe/Fg = 2 x 1039 The force of gravity is much weaker than the electrostatic force Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

21. Electric Forces and Vectors Electric Fields and Forces are ALL vectors, thus all rules applying to vectors must be followed. Consider three point charges, q1 = 6.00 x10-9 C (located at the origin),q3 = 5.00x10-9 C, and q2 = -2.00x10-9 C, located at the corners of a RIGHT triangle. q2 is located at y= 3 m while q3 is located 4m to the right of q2. Find the resultant force on q3. Which way does q2 push q3? Which way does q1 push q3? 4m q2 q3 3m Fon 3 due to 1 5m q Fon 3 due to 2 q1 q = 37 q3 q= tan-1(3/4) Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

22. 4m q2 q3 3m Fon 3 due to 1 5m q q1 F3,1sin37 Fon 3 due to 2 q = 37 q= tan-1(3/4) q3 F3,1cos37 5.6 x10-9 N 7.34x10-9 N 1.1x10-8 N 64.3 0 above the +x Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

23. Coulomb’s Law Example • Q = 6.0 mC • L = 0.10 m • What is the magnitude and direction of the net force on one of the charges? We find the magnitudes of the individual forces on the charge at the upper right corner: F1= F2 = kQQ/L2 = kQ2/L2 = (9 x109 N · m2/C2)(6 x10–3 C)2/(0.100 m)2 = 3.24 x107 N. F3= kQQ/(L√2)2 = kQ2/2L2 = (9 x109 N · m2/C2)(6 x10–3 C)2 /2(0.100 m)2 = 1.62 x107 N. Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

24. along the diagonal, or away from the center of the square. From the symmetry, each of the other forces will have the same magnitude and a direction away from the center: The net force on each charge is= 6.20 ء 107 N away from the center of the square. . Norah Ali Al-moneef king Saud unversity

25. Example - Four Charges Consider four charges placed at the corners of a square with sides of length 1.25 m as shown on the right. What is the magnitude of the electric force on q4 resulting from the electric force from the remaining three charges? Answer: F (on q4) = 0.0916 N … and the direction?
