  1. ELECTROSTATICS: The study of the behavior of stationary charges ELECTRIC CHARGE There are two types of electric charge, arbitrarily called positive and negative. Rubbing certain electrically neutral objects together (e.g., a glass rod and a silk cloth) tends to cause the electric charges to separate. In the case of the glass and silk, the glass rod loses negative charge and becomes positively charged while the silk cloth gains negative charge and therefore becomes negatively charged. After separation, the negative charges and positive charges are found to attract one another.

  2. negative -- -- positive + + + + When a rubber rod is rubbed against fur, electrons are removed from the fur and deposited on the rod. Electrons move from fur to the rubber rod. The rod is said to benegatively chargedbecause of anexcessof electrons. The fur is said to be positively chargedbecause of adeficiencyof electrons.

  3. positive glass + + + + negative - - - - silk When a glass rod is rubbed against silk, electrons are removed from the glass and deposited on the silk. Electrons move from glass to the silk cloth. The glass is said to bepositivelychargedbecause of adeficiencyof electrons. The silk is said to be negatively chargedbecause of anexcessof electrons.

  4. Pith-ball Electroscope Gold-leaf Electroscope Laboratory devices used to study the existence of two kinds of electric charge.

  5. 1. Charge the rubber rod by rubbing against fur. 2. Transfer electrons from rod to each pith ball. The two negative charges repel each other.

  6. 1. Charge the glass rod by rubbing against silk. 2. Touch balls with rod. Free electrons on the balls move to fill vacancies on the cloth, leaving each of the balls with a deficiency. (Positively charged.) The two positive charges repel each other.

  7. Rubber glass Attraction fur silk Note that the negatively charged(green)ball is attractedto the positively charged(red)ball. Opposite Charges Attract!

  8. Neg Neg Neg Pos Pos Pos Like charges repel; unlike charges attract.

  9. Some electrons leave rod and spread over sphere. Charging by Contact  

  10. Rod does not touch sphere.  It pushes electrons out of the back side of the sphere and down the wire to ground.  The ground wire is disconnected to prevent the return of the electrons from ground, then the rod is removed. Charging by Induction    

  11. Charged comb attracts neutral bits of paper. Charged comb attracts neutralwater molecules. The law of conservation of electric charge: "The net amount of electric charge produced in any process is zero." Another way of saying this is that in any process electric charge cannot be created or destroyed, however, it can be transferred from one object to another.

  12. Fine mist of negatively charged gold particles adhere to positively charged protein on fingerprint. Negatively charged paint adheres to positively charged metal. Applications of Electrostatic Charging 

  13. Thequantity of charge(q)can be defined in terms of the number of electrons, but theCoulomb (C)is a better unit for later work. The Coulomb: 1 C = 6.25 x 1018 electrons The charge on a single electron is: 1 electron: e- = -1.6 x 10-19 C

  14. The coulomb (selected for use with electric currents) is actually a very large unit for static electricity. It is common to use the metric prefixes. 1 mC = 1 x 10-6 C 1 nC = 1 x 10-9 C 1 pC = 1 x 10-12 C

  15. COULOMB’S LAW Coulomb’s Law states that two point charges exert a force (F) on one another that is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges (q) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) between their centers. The equation is: F = electrostatic force (N) q = charge (C) k = 9x109 N•m2/C2 r = separation between charges (m)

  16. The value of k can also be expressed in terms of the permittivity of free space (εo): 9x109 N. m2/C2 The proportionality constant (k) can only be used if the medium that separates the charges is a vacuum. If the region between the point charges is not a vacuum then the value of the proportionality constant to be used is determined by dividing k by the dielectric constant(K). For a vacuum K = 1, for distilled water K = 80, and for wax paper K = 2.25

  17. Problem-Solving Strategies 1. Draw and label a figure indicating positive and negative charges along with the given distances. 2. Draw the force of attraction or repulsion on the given charge on a neat, labeled FBD. 3. Find the resultant force. Important: Do not use the signs of the charges when applying Coulomb's law!

  18. 11.1 Two charges q1 = - 8 μC and q2= +12 μC are placed 120 mm apart in the air. What is the resultant force on a third charge q3 = - 4 μC placed midway between the other charges? FR F2 q1 = - 8x10-6 C q2= +12x10-6 C q3 = - 4x10-6 C r = 0. 120 m F1 - q1 - q3 + q2 0.06 m 0.06 m = 80 N = 120 N FR = 80 + 120 = 200 N, to the right

  19. 11.2 Three charges q1 = +4 nC, q2 = -6 nC and q3 = -8 nC are arranged as shown. Find the resultant force on q3 due to the other two charges. F1 FR q1 = +4x10-9 C q2= -6x10-9 C q3 = -8x10-9 C F2 37˚ θ = 2.88x10-5 N = 6.75x10-5 N

  20. FR F1 From the FBD: F2 37˚ θ Σ Fy = F1 sin 37˚ = (2.88x10-5)(sin 37˚) = 1.73x10-5 N Σ Fx = F2 - F1 cos 37˚ = (6.75x10-5) - (2.88x10-5)(cos 37˚) = 4.45x10-5 N = 4.8x10-5 N FR (4.8x10-5 N, 21˚) θ = 21˚

  21. ELECTRIC FIELD An electric field is said to exit in a region of space in which an electric charge will experience an electric force. The magnitude of the electric field intensity is given by: Units: N/C

  22. The direction of the electric field intensity at a point in space is the same as the direction in which a positive charge would move if it were placed at that point. The electric field linesor lines of force indicate the direction. The electric field is strongest in regions where the lines are close together and weak when the lines are further apart.

  23. 11.3 The electric field intensity between two plates is constant and directed downward. The magnitude of the electric field intensity is 6x104 N/C. What are the magnitude and direction of the electric force exerted on an electron projected horizontally between the two plates? E = 6x104 N/C qe = 1.6x10-19 C F = qE = 1.6x10-19 (6x104) = 9.6x10-15 N, upward

  24. 11.4 Show that the gravitational force on the electron of example 16-3 may be neglected. me = 9.11x10-31 kg FG = mg = 9.11x10-31 (9.8) = 8.92x10-30 N The electric force is larger than the gravitational force by a factor of 1.08x1015!

  25. The electric field intensity E at a distance r from a single charge q can be found as follows: Units: N/C

  26. 11.5 What is the electric field intensity at a distance of 2 m from a charge of -12 μC? r = 2 m q = -12 μC = 27x103 N/C, towards q

  27. When more than one charge contributes to the field, the resultant field is the vector sum of the contributions from each charge. Units: N/C

  28. 11.6 Two point charges q1= -6 nC and q2 = +6 nC, are 12 cm apart, as shown in the figure. Determine the electric field a. At point A q1= -6 x10-9 C q2 = +6 x10-9 C E1 ER E2 = 3.38x104 N/C, left = 8.44x103 N/C, left

  29. E1 ER E2 ER = E1 + E2 = 3.38x104 + 8.44x103 = 4.22x104 N/C, left

  30. 11.6 Two point charges q1= -6 nC and q2 = +6 nC, are 12 cm apart, as shown in the figure. Determine the electric field b. At point B E2 q1= -6x10-9 C q2 = +6x10-9 C 37º θ ER E1 = 6.67x103 N/C = 2.4x103 N/C

  31. From vector diagram: E2 37º Σ Ex = - E2cos 37˚ = - (2.4x103)(cos 37˚) = -1916.7N/C θ ER E1 Σ Ey = E2 sin 37˚- E1 = (2.4x103)(sin 37˚) - (6.67x103) = - 5225.6 N/C = 5566 N/C

  32. = 70˚ E2 37º θ 180˚ + 70˚ = 250˚ ER (5566 N/C, 250˚) ER E1
