Chapter 20 Static Electricity • Electrostatics - The study of electrical charges that can be collected and held in one place.
Chapter 20Static Electricity • Every atom is composed of a positively charged nucleus, around which are distributed a number of negatively charged electrons. • Electrons of all atoms are the same. Each has the same quantity of negative charge and the same mass. • Protons and neutrons compose the nucleus. Protons are 2000 times more massive than an electron and carry an equal amount of charge. • All normal atoms have equal number of protons and electrons.
Chapter 20Static Electricity • Charged versus Uncharged Objects • Positively-Charged Possesses more protons than electrons • Negatively-Charged Possesses more electrons than protons • Uncharged Equal numbers of protons and electrons
Chapter 20Static Electricity • Electric Charge: • Positive or negative • Charge is quantified • Like charges repel, opposites attract • Charges exert a force through a distance. • The force is stronger when the charges • are close together
Chapter 20Static Electricity • Grounding Connecting a charged object to earth to remove an object’s charge. • Conductor Any material through which an electric charge is readily transferred. • Insulator Any material through which an electric charge is not readily transferred. • Induction The process of charging an object by bringing it into the electric field of another object.

Chapter 20Static Electricity Coulomb The quantity of electric charge 1 coulomb = 6.25 x 1018 electrons 1 electron = 1.6 x 10-19 coulombs
Chapter 20Static Electricity Coulomb’s Law The force between two charged objects vary directly with the product of their charges and inversely as the square of the distances between them. F force (N) q charge (C) k 9 x 109 N •m2/ C2 Inverse Square Law
Chapter 20Static Electricity Find the force of attraction between charges of 100 µC and -50 µC separated by a distance of 50 cm. q1 = 1 x 10-4 C q2 = -5 x 10-5 C D = .5 m k = 9 x 109 N •m2/ C2
Chapter 20Static Electricity Find the force of attraction between charges of 100 µC and -50 µC separated by a distance of 50 cm. F = -180 N The negative means a force of attraction
Chapter 20Static Electricity Two charges are separated by 4.0 cm. Object A has a charge of +5 µC and object B has a charge of +3 µC. What is the force on object A? q1 = 5 x 10-6 C q2 = 3 x 10-6 C D = .04 m k = 9 x 109 N •m2/ C2
Chapter 20 Static Electricity Two charges are separated by 4.0 cm. Object A has a charge of +5 µC and object B has a charge of +3 µC. What is the force on object A? F = 84 N The positive means a force of repulsion
Chapter 20Static Electricity A positive charge of 3.5 x 10-6 C has 2 charges nearby. One has a negative charge of -1.2 x 10-6 C and is .03 m away at 180°. The second charge is a positive charge of 3 x 10-6 C at 270° at .02 m. What is the total force on the 3.5 x 10-6 C charge?
