Reading Quiz • 2. A charge alters the space around it. What is this alteration of space called? • Charged plasma • Charge sphere • Electric ether • Electric field • Electrophoresys • 1. What is the SI unit of charge? • Coulomb • Faraday • Ampere • Ohm • Volt
3. If a negative charged rod is held near a neutral metal ball, the ball is attracted to the rod. This happens • because of magnetic effects. • because the ball tries to pull the rod’s electrons over to it. • because the rod polarizes the metal. • because the rod and the ball have opposite charges. • 4. The electric field of a charge is defined by the force on • an electron. • a proton. • a source charge. • a test charge.

If a negative charged rod is held near a neutral metal ball, the ball is attracted to the rod. This happens • because of magnetic effects. • because the ball tries to pull the rod’s electrons over to it. • because the rod polarizes the metal. • because the rod and the ball have opposite charges.
The electric field of a charge is defined by the force on • an electron. • a proton. • a source charge. • a test charge.
Coulomb’s Law - Magnitude • K = 9.0 x 109 N m2/C2 • Coulomb’s contant • q1, q2 = charges • measured in Coulombs (C) • 1 C is a lot of charge! • r = distance between q1 and q2 ε0 =permittivity of free space (more relevant to future chapters)
Electric Force • Similar form as gravitational force (weird, huh?), except • positive and negative charges • Like charges repel; opposite charge attract
Net Force from Multiple Charges • An electrostatic force exists between each pair of charges according to Coulomb’s law • Add components of forces to get net force when adding multiple charges
The Electric Field • We begin our investigation of electric fields by postulating a field model that describes how charges interact: • Some charges, which we will call the source charges, alter the space around them by creating an electric field. • A separate charge in the electric field experiences a force exerted by the field. • Suppose probe charge q experiences an electric force Fon q due to other charges. The units of the electric field are N/C. The magnitude E of the electric field is called the electric field strength.
