Muhammad Ibrahim Khan
Assistant Professor
Department of Physics
CUI, Lahore Campus
• Roughly 2/3 of the time in class devoted to presentation of
material by instructor
• Interactive periods during lectures where students work
together on problems
1
an “ACT”
• Occasional demos to illustrate key concepts
Format of Lectures
Overview of Learning Activities
Learning in this course will be by:
• Attendance at lectures where material will be presented
and explained, and the subject will be illustrated with
demonstrations and examples (My lectures will be a mix
of PPT slides and White board!);
• Private study, working through the theory as presented
in lectures, texts and notes, and gaining practice at solving
conceptual and numerical problems;
• Completing tutorial questions designed to give further
practice in application of theory, and feedback on student
progress and understanding;
Grading
• Homework/Assignments (4) → 12.5%
• Quiz (4) → 12.5%
• 1st Sessional 10%
• 2nd Sessional 15%
• Terminal → 50%
• No one’s perfect.
So we give lots of
partial credit.
• But you must say
what you’re doing!
Write a lot of text
in addition to
equations in your
homework and
quizzes.
The Importance of Attending lecture
In the past, Students
who have skipped a
lot of classes have
received very bad
grades
Conversely, Students
who’ve come to most
or all of the classes
nearly always receive
A’s and B’s.
Understanding the ideas of each lecture
requires the knowledge of the previous
lectures
If you keep up, you
won’t end up
looking like this
the night before the
quizzes!

What does lightning have
in common...
... with hair on a dry
winter day?
Effects of Electric Charge
• Hair seems to have a mind of its own when combed on a dry
winter day.
• What causes the hairs to repel one another?
• Why does a piece of plastic refuse
to leave your hand after you peeled
it off a package?
• Why do you get a slight shock
after walking across carpet and
touching a light switch?
• All these phenomena involve different materials rubbing against
one another.
• Electrostatic effects can be demonstrated by rubbing plastic or glass
rods with different furs or fabrics.
• Small wads of dry, paperlike material called pith balls are light
enough to be strongly influenced by electrostatic forces.
• When a plastic rod, vigorously rubbed with cat fur, is brought near
the pith balls, at first the pith balls are attracted to the rod like bits of
iron to a magnet.
• After contacting the rod, the pith balls
dance away from the rod.
• They are now repelled by the rod and
also by each other.
Effects of Electric Charge
• A repulsive force must be acting between the two pith balls after
they have been in contact with the rod.
• Perhaps the balls have received something (call it electric charge) from the
rod that is responsible for the force we observe.
• This charge was somehow generated by rubbing the rod with the cat fur.
• The force that is exerted by one stationary charge on another is called the
electrostatic force.
Effects of Electric Charge
Electric Current
• An electric current is a flow of electric charge.
• In electric circuits this charge is often carried by
moving electrons in a wire
• It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte or by both ions
and electrons such as in an ionised gas (plasma)
• The SI unit for measuring an electric current is the ampere
which is the flow of electric charge across a surface at the rate
of one coulomb per second. Electric current is measured using
a device called an ammeter
• Electric currents cause Joule heating, which creates light in incandescent
light bulbs. They also create magnetic fields, which are used in motors,
inductors and generators.
• The moving charged particles in an electric current are called charge
carriers. In metals, one or more electrons from each atom are loosely
bound to the atom, and can move freely about within the metal.
These conduction electrons are the charge carriers in metal conductors.
Current Density
• Current density, J, is the electric current per
unit area of cross section
• The current density vector is defined as
a vector whose magnitude is the electric
current per cross-sectional area at a given
point in space, its direction being that of
the motion of the charges at this point
• In SI units, the electric current density is
measured in amperes per square metre, IL-2
Like charges
repel each other,
and unlike
charges attract
each other
• Benjamin Franklin introduced
the names positive and negative for
the two types of charge.
• He also proposed that a single
fluid was being transferred
from one object to another
during charging.
• A positive charge resulted from
a surplus of the fluid, and a
negative charge resulted from
a shortage of the fluid.
• Franklin arbitrarily proposed
that the charge on a glass rod
when rubbed with silk be called
positive.
• Franklin’s model comes surprisingly
close to our modern view
• When objects are rubbed together,
electrons may be
transferred from one object
to the other.
• Electrons are small, negatively
charged particles present in all
atoms and, therefore, in all
materials.
• A negatively charged object has
a surplus of electrons, and a
positively charged object has a
shortage of electrons.
• The atomic or chemical properties
of materials dictate which way the
electrons flow when objects are
rubbed together.
Blue Flashes from a
Wintergreen LifeSaver
Indirect evidence for the attraction of charges with opposite
signs can be seen with a wintergreen LifeSaver (the candy
shaped in the form of a marine lifesaver).
If you adapt your eyes to darkness for about 15 minutes and
then have a friend chomp on a piece of the candy in the
darkness, you will see a faint blue flash from your friend’s
mouth with each chomp. Whenever a chomp breaks a sugar
crystal into pieces, each piece will probably end up with a
different number of electrons. Suppose a crystal breaks into
pieces A and B, with A ending up with more electrons on its
surface than B.
Blue Flashes from a
Wintergreen LifeSaver
• This means that B has positive ions (atoms that
lost electrons to A) on its surface. Because the
electrons on A are strongly attracted to the
positive ions on B, some of those electrons jump
across the gap between the pieces. As A and B
fall away from each other, air (primarily
nitrogen, N2) flows into the gap, and many of
the jumping electrons collide with nitrogen
molecules in the air, causing the molecules to
emit ultraviolet light. You cannot see this type
of light. However, the wintergreen molecules on
the surfaces of the candy pieces absorb the
ultraviolet light and then emit blue light, which
you can see—it is the blue light coming from
your friend’s mouth.
Two pieces of a wintergreen LifeSaver candy as they fall away from each
other. Electrons jumping from the negative surface of piece A to the
positive surface of piece B collide with nitrogen (N2) molecules in the air.
Charge is Quantized
• In Benjamin Franklin’s day, electric charge was thought to
be a continuous fluid—an idea that was useful for many
purposes
• However, we now know that fluids themselves, such as air
and water, are not continuous but are made up of atoms and
molecules; matter is discrete. Experiment shows that
“electrical fluid” is also not continuous but is made up of
multiples of a certain elementary charge.
• Any positive or negative charge q that can be detected can be
written as
q = ne, n=1,2,3, . . . , (1)
in which e, the elementary charge, has the approximate value
e = 1.602 * 10-19 C (2)
Charge is Quantized
• The elementary charge e is one of the important constants of
nature
• The electron and proton both have a charge of magnitude e (Table
1). (Quarks, the constituent particles of protons and neutrons,
have charges of e/3 or 2e/3, but they apparently cannot be
detected individually
• For this and for historical reasons, we do not take their charges to
be the elementary charge
• You often see phrases—such as “the charge on a sphere,” “the
amount of charge transferred,” and “the charge carried by the
electron”—that suggest that charge is a substance
• You should, however, keep in mind what is intended: Particles
are the substance and charge happens to be one of their
properties, just as mass is
Charge is Quantized
• When a physical quantity such as charge can have only
discrete values rather than any value, we say that the quantity
is quantized
• It is possible, for example, to find a particle that has no
charge at all or a charge of -10e or -6e, but not a particle with
a charge of, say, 3.57e.
• The quantum of charge is small. In an ordinary 100 W
lightbulb, for example, about 1019 elementary charges enter
the bulb every second and just as many leave.
• However, the graininess of electricity does not show up in
such large-scale phenomena (the bulb does not flicker with
each electron), just as you cannot feel the individual
molecules of water with your hand.
Charge is Quantized
Charge is Conserved
• If you rub a glass rod with silk, a positive charge appears on the
rod. Measurement shows that a negative charge of equal
magnitude appears on the silk
• This suggests that rubbing does not create charge but only
transfers it from one body to another, upsetting the electrical
neutrality of each body during the process
• This hypothesis of conservation of charge, first put forward by
Benjamin Franklin, has stood up under close examination, both
for large-scale charged bodies and for atoms, nuclei, and
elementary particles. No exceptions have ever been found. Thus,
we add electric charge to our list of quantities—including energy
and both linear and angular momentum—that obey a
conservation law.
Charge is Conserved
• Important examples of the conservation of charge occur in
the radioactive decay of nuclei, in which a nucleus
transforms into (becomes) a different type of nucleus. For
example, a uranium-238 nucleus (238U) transforms into a
thorium-234 nucleus (234Th) by emitting an alpha particle.
Because that particle has the same makeup as a helium-4
nucleus, it has the symbol 4He.
• The number used in the name of a nucleus and as a
superscript in the symbol for the nucleus is called the mass
number and is the total number of the protons and neutrons
in the nucleus. For example, the total number in 238U is
238. The number of protons in a nucleus is the atomic
number Z, which is listed for all the elements in Appendix F.
From that list we find that in the decay
238U :234Th _ 4He, (1)
Charge is Conserved
• The parent nucleus 238U contains 92 protons (a charge
of +92e), the daughter nucleus 234Th contains 90 protons
(a charge of +90e), and the emitted alpha particle 4He
contains 2 protons (a charge of +2e).We see that the
total charge is +92e before and after the decay; thus,
charge is conserved. (The total number of protons and
neutrons is also conserved:238 before the decay and
234+4=238 after the decay.)
• Another example of charge conservation occurs when
an electron e_ (charge-e) and its antiparticle, the
positron e+ (charge +e), undergo an annihilation
process, transforming into two gamma rays (high-
energy light):
Charge is Conserved
• In applying the conservation-of-charge principle, we must
add the charges algebraically, with due regard for their signs.
In the annihilation process of Eq. 2 then, the net charge of
the system is zero both before and after the event. Charge is
conserved.
• In pair production, the converse of annihilation, charge is
also conserved. In this process a gamma ray transforms into
an electron and a positron
Charge is Conserved
• The gamma ray, being electrically neutral, left no
trail. Still, you can tell exactly where it underwent
pair production—at the tip of the curved V, which
is where the trails of the electron and positron
begin
• Figure shows such a pair-production event that
occurred in a bubble chamber. A gamma ray
entered the chamber from the bottom and at one
point transformed into an electron and a positron.
Because those new particles were charged and
moving, each left a trail of tiny bubbles. (The trails
were curved because a magnetic field had been set
up in the chamber.)
Coulomb’s Law
• If two charged particles are brought near each other,
they each exert a force on the other. If the particles
have the same sign of charge, they repel each other.
That is, the force on each particle is directed away
from the other particle, and if the particles can
move, they move away from each other. If, instead,
the particles have opposite signs of charge, they
attract each other and, if free to move, they move
closer to each other.
Two charged particles repel
each other if they have the
same sign of
charge, either (a) both positive
or (b) both
negative. (c) They attract each
other if they
have opposite signs of charge
Coulomb’s Law
• This force of repulsion or attraction due to the
charge properties of objects is called an
electrostatic force. The equation giving the force
for charged particles is called Coulomb’s law
after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, whose
experiments in 1785 led him to it. In terms of
the particles in, where particle 1 has charge q1
and particle 2 has charge q2, the force on
particle 1 is
Coulomb’s Law
• in which is a unit vector along an axis
extending through the two particles, r is the
distance between them, and k is a constant.
(As with other unit vectors, has a magnitude
of exactly 1 and no dimension or unit; its
purpose is to point.) If the particles have the
same signs of charge, the force on particle 1
is in the direction of ; if they have opposite
signs, the force is opposite
Coulomb’s Law
• Curiously, the form of is the same as that of
Newton’s equation for the gravitational force
between two particles with masses m1 and m2 that
are separated by a distance r :
in which G is the gravitational constant
Coulomb’s Law
• The constant k in by analogy with the gravitational
constant G, may be called the electrostatic constant.
• Both equations describe inverse square laws that
involve a property of the interacting particles—the
mass in one case and the charge in the other.
• The laws differ in that gravitational forces are
always attractive but electrostatic forces may be
either attractive or repulsive, depending on the signs
of the two charges. This difference arises from the
fact that, although there is only one kind of mass,
there are two kinds of charge
Coulomb’s Law
The electrostatic
force on
particle 1 can be
described in terms
of a unit vector
along an axis
through the two
particles.
Coulomb’s Law
• The quantity ℇ0, called the
permittivity constant,
sometimes appears separately
in equations
• Still another parallel between
the gravitational force and the
electrostatic force is that both
obey the principle of
superposition. If we have n
charged particles, they interact
independently in pairs, and the
force on any one of them, let
us say particle 1, is given by
the vector sum
Useful Terms
• Electric Charge The strength of a particle’s electrical interaction with
objects around it depends on its electric charge, which can be either
positive or negative. Charges with the same sign repel each other, and
charges with opposite signs attract each other. An object with equal
amounts of the two kinds of charge is electrically neutral, whereas one
with an imbalance is electrically charged.
• Conductors are materials in which a significant number of charged
particles (electrons in metals) are free to move. The charged particles in
nonconductors, or insulators, are not free to move.
• The Coulomb and Ampere The SI unit of charge is the coulomb (C). It is
defined in terms of the unit of current, the ampere (A), as the charge
passing a particular point in 1 second when there is a current of 1
ampere at that point: 1 C (1 A)(1 s).
• This is based on the relation between current i and the rate dq/dt at
which charge passes a point: (electric current)
Useful Terms
• Coulomb’s Law: Coulomb’s law describes the electrostatic force between small (point)
electric charges q1 and q2 at rest (or nearly at rest) and separated by a distance r: (Coulomb’s
law)
• Here ℇ0=8.85 10-12 C2/N m2 is the permittivity constant, and 1/4ℼℇ0 = k = 8.99 * 109 Nm2/C2.
• The force of attraction or repulsion between point charges at rest acts along the line joining the
two charges. The net force on each charge is then found, using the superposition principle, as
the vector sum of the forces exerted on the charge by all the others.
• The two shell theorems for electrostatics are A shell of uniform charge attracts or repels a
charged particle that is outside the shell as if all the shell’s charge were concentrated at its
center.
• If a charged particle is located inside a shell of uniform charge, there is no net electrostatic
force on the particle from the shell.
• The Elementary Charge: Electric charge is quantized: any charge can be written as ne,
where n is a positive or negative integer and e is a constant of nature called the elementary
charge ( 1.602 *10-19 C). Electric charge is conserved: the net charge of any isolated system
cannot change.

4.0 * 10-15 m and contains 26 protons.

Solution
Problem
• Figure-a shows two particles fixed in place: a particle of charge q1= +8q
at the origin and a particle of charge q2=-2q at x=L. At what point (other
than infinitely far away) can a proton be placed so that it is in equilibrium
(the net force on it is zero)? Is that equilibrium stable or unstable? (That
is, if the proton is displaced, do the forces drive it back to the point of
equilibrium or drive it farther away?)
Figure
(a) Two particles of charges
q1 and q2 are fixed in
place on an x axis, with
separation L. (b)–(d) Three
possible locations
P, S, and R for a proton. At
each location, F1 is the force
on the proton from particle 1
and F2 is the force on the
proton from particle 2.
Solution
• If is the force on the proton due to charge q1 and is the force on the
proton due to charge q2, then the point we seek is where Thus,
This tells us that at the point we seek, the forces acting on the proton due to
the other two particles must be of equal magnitudes,
and that the forces must have opposite directions.

  • 14. What does lightning have in common... ... with hair on a dry winter day?
  • 15. Effects of Electric Charge • Hair seems to have a mind of its own when combed on a dry winter day. • What causes the hairs to repel one another? • Why does a piece of plastic refuse to leave your hand after you peeled it off a package? • Why do you get a slight shock after walking across carpet and touching a light switch?
  • 16. • All these phenomena involve different materials rubbing against one another. • Electrostatic effects can be demonstrated by rubbing plastic or glass rods with different furs or fabrics. • Small wads of dry, paperlike material called pith balls are light enough to be strongly influenced by electrostatic forces. • When a plastic rod, vigorously rubbed with cat fur, is brought near the pith balls, at first the pith balls are attracted to the rod like bits of iron to a magnet. • After contacting the rod, the pith balls dance away from the rod. • They are now repelled by the rod and also by each other. Effects of Electric Charge
  • 17. • A repulsive force must be acting between the two pith balls after they have been in contact with the rod. • Perhaps the balls have received something (call it electric charge) from the rod that is responsible for the force we observe. • This charge was somehow generated by rubbing the rod with the cat fur. • The force that is exerted by one stationary charge on another is called the electrostatic force. Effects of Electric Charge
  • 18. Electric Current • An electric current is a flow of electric charge. • In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire • It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte or by both ions and electrons such as in an ionised gas (plasma) • The SI unit for measuring an electric current is the ampere which is the flow of electric charge across a surface at the rate of one coulomb per second. Electric current is measured using a device called an ammeter • Electric currents cause Joule heating, which creates light in incandescent light bulbs. They also create magnetic fields, which are used in motors, inductors and generators. • The moving charged particles in an electric current are called charge carriers. In metals, one or more electrons from each atom are loosely bound to the atom, and can move freely about within the metal. These conduction electrons are the charge carriers in metal conductors.
  • 19. Current Density • Current density, J, is the electric current per unit area of cross section • The current density vector is defined as a vector whose magnitude is the electric current per cross-sectional area at a given point in space, its direction being that of the motion of the charges at this point • In SI units, the electric current density is measured in amperes per square metre, IL-2
  • 20. Like charges repel each other, and unlike charges attract each other
  • 21. • Benjamin Franklin introduced the names positive and negative for the two types of charge. • He also proposed that a single fluid was being transferred from one object to another during charging. • A positive charge resulted from a surplus of the fluid, and a negative charge resulted from a shortage of the fluid. • Franklin arbitrarily proposed that the charge on a glass rod when rubbed with silk be called positive.
  • 22. • Franklin’s model comes surprisingly close to our modern view • When objects are rubbed together, electrons may be transferred from one object to the other. • Electrons are small, negatively charged particles present in all atoms and, therefore, in all materials. • A negatively charged object has a surplus of electrons, and a positively charged object has a shortage of electrons. • The atomic or chemical properties of materials dictate which way the electrons flow when objects are rubbed together.
  • 23. Blue Flashes from a Wintergreen LifeSaver Indirect evidence for the attraction of charges with opposite signs can be seen with a wintergreen LifeSaver (the candy shaped in the form of a marine lifesaver). If you adapt your eyes to darkness for about 15 minutes and then have a friend chomp on a piece of the candy in the darkness, you will see a faint blue flash from your friend’s mouth with each chomp. Whenever a chomp breaks a sugar crystal into pieces, each piece will probably end up with a different number of electrons. Suppose a crystal breaks into pieces A and B, with A ending up with more electrons on its surface than B.
  • 24. Blue Flashes from a Wintergreen LifeSaver • This means that B has positive ions (atoms that lost electrons to A) on its surface. Because the electrons on A are strongly attracted to the positive ions on B, some of those electrons jump across the gap between the pieces. As A and B fall away from each other, air (primarily nitrogen, N2) flows into the gap, and many of the jumping electrons collide with nitrogen molecules in the air, causing the molecules to emit ultraviolet light. You cannot see this type of light. However, the wintergreen molecules on the surfaces of the candy pieces absorb the ultraviolet light and then emit blue light, which you can see—it is the blue light coming from your friend’s mouth. Two pieces of a wintergreen LifeSaver candy as they fall away from each other. Electrons jumping from the negative surface of piece A to the positive surface of piece B collide with nitrogen (N2) molecules in the air.
  • 25. Charge is Quantized • In Benjamin Franklin’s day, electric charge was thought to be a continuous fluid—an idea that was useful for many purposes • However, we now know that fluids themselves, such as air and water, are not continuous but are made up of atoms and molecules; matter is discrete. Experiment shows that “electrical fluid” is also not continuous but is made up of multiples of a certain elementary charge. • Any positive or negative charge q that can be detected can be written as q = ne, n=1,2,3, . . . , (1) in which e, the elementary charge, has the approximate value e = 1.602 * 10-19 C (2)
  • 26. Charge is Quantized • The elementary charge e is one of the important constants of nature • The electron and proton both have a charge of magnitude e (Table 1). (Quarks, the constituent particles of protons and neutrons, have charges of e/3 or 2e/3, but they apparently cannot be detected individually • For this and for historical reasons, we do not take their charges to be the elementary charge • You often see phrases—such as “the charge on a sphere,” “the amount of charge transferred,” and “the charge carried by the electron”—that suggest that charge is a substance • You should, however, keep in mind what is intended: Particles are the substance and charge happens to be one of their properties, just as mass is
  • 27. Charge is Quantized • When a physical quantity such as charge can have only discrete values rather than any value, we say that the quantity is quantized • It is possible, for example, to find a particle that has no charge at all or a charge of -10e or -6e, but not a particle with a charge of, say, 3.57e. • The quantum of charge is small. In an ordinary 100 W lightbulb, for example, about 1019 elementary charges enter the bulb every second and just as many leave. • However, the graininess of electricity does not show up in such large-scale phenomena (the bulb does not flicker with each electron), just as you cannot feel the individual molecules of water with your hand.
  • 29. Charge is Conserved • If you rub a glass rod with silk, a positive charge appears on the rod. Measurement shows that a negative charge of equal magnitude appears on the silk • This suggests that rubbing does not create charge but only transfers it from one body to another, upsetting the electrical neutrality of each body during the process • This hypothesis of conservation of charge, first put forward by Benjamin Franklin, has stood up under close examination, both for large-scale charged bodies and for atoms, nuclei, and elementary particles. No exceptions have ever been found. Thus, we add electric charge to our list of quantities—including energy and both linear and angular momentum—that obey a conservation law.
  • 30. Charge is Conserved • Important examples of the conservation of charge occur in the radioactive decay of nuclei, in which a nucleus transforms into (becomes) a different type of nucleus. For example, a uranium-238 nucleus (238U) transforms into a thorium-234 nucleus (234Th) by emitting an alpha particle. Because that particle has the same makeup as a helium-4 nucleus, it has the symbol 4He. • The number used in the name of a nucleus and as a superscript in the symbol for the nucleus is called the mass number and is the total number of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. For example, the total number in 238U is 238. The number of protons in a nucleus is the atomic number Z, which is listed for all the elements in Appendix F. From that list we find that in the decay 238U :234Th _ 4He, (1)
  • 31. Charge is Conserved • The parent nucleus 238U contains 92 protons (a charge of +92e), the daughter nucleus 234Th contains 90 protons (a charge of +90e), and the emitted alpha particle 4He contains 2 protons (a charge of +2e).We see that the total charge is +92e before and after the decay; thus, charge is conserved. (The total number of protons and neutrons is also conserved:238 before the decay and 234+4=238 after the decay.) • Another example of charge conservation occurs when an electron e_ (charge-e) and its antiparticle, the positron e+ (charge +e), undergo an annihilation process, transforming into two gamma rays (high- energy light):
  • 32. Charge is Conserved • In applying the conservation-of-charge principle, we must add the charges algebraically, with due regard for their signs. In the annihilation process of Eq. 2 then, the net charge of the system is zero both before and after the event. Charge is conserved. • In pair production, the converse of annihilation, charge is also conserved. In this process a gamma ray transforms into an electron and a positron
  • 33. Charge is Conserved • The gamma ray, being electrically neutral, left no trail. Still, you can tell exactly where it underwent pair production—at the tip of the curved V, which is where the trails of the electron and positron begin • Figure shows such a pair-production event that occurred in a bubble chamber. A gamma ray entered the chamber from the bottom and at one point transformed into an electron and a positron. Because those new particles were charged and moving, each left a trail of tiny bubbles. (The trails were curved because a magnetic field had been set up in the chamber.)
  • 34. Coulomb’s Law • If two charged particles are brought near each other, they each exert a force on the other. If the particles have the same sign of charge, they repel each other. That is, the force on each particle is directed away from the other particle, and if the particles can move, they move away from each other. If, instead, the particles have opposite signs of charge, they attract each other and, if free to move, they move closer to each other.
  • 35. Two charged particles repel each other if they have the same sign of charge, either (a) both positive or (b) both negative. (c) They attract each other if they have opposite signs of charge
  • 36. Coulomb’s Law • This force of repulsion or attraction due to the charge properties of objects is called an electrostatic force. The equation giving the force for charged particles is called Coulomb’s law after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, whose experiments in 1785 led him to it. In terms of the particles in, where particle 1 has charge q1 and particle 2 has charge q2, the force on particle 1 is
  • 37. Coulomb’s Law • in which is a unit vector along an axis extending through the two particles, r is the distance between them, and k is a constant. (As with other unit vectors, has a magnitude of exactly 1 and no dimension or unit; its purpose is to point.) If the particles have the same signs of charge, the force on particle 1 is in the direction of ; if they have opposite signs, the force is opposite
  • 38. Coulomb’s Law • Curiously, the form of is the same as that of Newton’s equation for the gravitational force between two particles with masses m1 and m2 that are separated by a distance r : in which G is the gravitational constant
  • 39. Coulomb’s Law • The constant k in by analogy with the gravitational constant G, may be called the electrostatic constant. • Both equations describe inverse square laws that involve a property of the interacting particles—the mass in one case and the charge in the other. • The laws differ in that gravitational forces are always attractive but electrostatic forces may be either attractive or repulsive, depending on the signs of the two charges. This difference arises from the fact that, although there is only one kind of mass, there are two kinds of charge
  • 40. Coulomb’s Law The electrostatic force on particle 1 can be described in terms of a unit vector along an axis through the two particles.
  • 41. Coulomb’s Law • The quantity ℇ0, called the permittivity constant, sometimes appears separately in equations • Still another parallel between the gravitational force and the electrostatic force is that both obey the principle of superposition. If we have n charged particles, they interact independently in pairs, and the force on any one of them, let us say particle 1, is given by the vector sum
  • 42. Useful Terms • Electric Charge The strength of a particle’s electrical interaction with objects around it depends on its electric charge, which can be either positive or negative. Charges with the same sign repel each other, and charges with opposite signs attract each other. An object with equal amounts of the two kinds of charge is electrically neutral, whereas one with an imbalance is electrically charged. • Conductors are materials in which a significant number of charged particles (electrons in metals) are free to move. The charged particles in nonconductors, or insulators, are not free to move. • The Coulomb and Ampere The SI unit of charge is the coulomb (C). It is defined in terms of the unit of current, the ampere (A), as the charge passing a particular point in 1 second when there is a current of 1 ampere at that point: 1 C (1 A)(1 s). • This is based on the relation between current i and the rate dq/dt at which charge passes a point: (electric current)
  • 43. Useful Terms • Coulomb’s Law: Coulomb’s law describes the electrostatic force between small (point) electric charges q1 and q2 at rest (or nearly at rest) and separated by a distance r: (Coulomb’s law) • Here ℇ0=8.85 10-12 C2/N m2 is the permittivity constant, and 1/4ℼℇ0 = k = 8.99 * 109 Nm2/C2. • The force of attraction or repulsion between point charges at rest acts along the line joining the two charges. The net force on each charge is then found, using the superposition principle, as the vector sum of the forces exerted on the charge by all the others. • The two shell theorems for electrostatics are A shell of uniform charge attracts or repels a charged particle that is outside the shell as if all the shell’s charge were concentrated at its center. • If a charged particle is located inside a shell of uniform charge, there is no net electrostatic force on the particle from the shell. • The Elementary Charge: Electric charge is quantized: any charge can be written as ne, where n is a positive or negative integer and e is a constant of nature called the elementary charge ( 1.602 *10-19 C). Electric charge is conserved: the net charge of any isolated system cannot change.
  • 44. Problem • The nucleus in an iron atom has a radius of about 4.0 * 10-15 m and contains 26 protons. • (a) What is the magnitude of the repulsive electrostatic force between two of the protons that are separated by 4.0 10-15 m? • (b) What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between those same two protons?

At what point (other than infinitely far away) can a proton be placed so that it is in equilibrium (the net force on it is zero)? Is that equilibrium stable or unstable? (That is, if the proton is displaced, do the forces drive it back to the point of equilibrium or drive it farther away?)
  • 53. Figure (a) Two particles of charges q1 and q2 are fixed in place on an x axis, with separation L. (b)–(d) Three possible locations P, S, and R for a proton. At each location, F1 is the force on the proton from particle 1 and F2 is the force on the proton from particle 2.
  • 54. Solution • If is the force on the proton due to charge q1 and is the force on the proton due to charge q2, then the point we seek is where Thus, This tells us that at the point we seek, the forces acting on the proton due to the other two particles must be of equal magnitudes, and that the forces must have opposite directions.
