Charging a metallic object by induction (that is, the two objects never touch each other). (a) A neutral metallic sphere, with equal numbers of positive and negative charges. (b) The electrons on the neutral sphere are redistributed when a charged rubber rod is placed near the sphere. (c) When the sphere is grounded, some of its electrons leave through the ground wire. (d) When the ground connection is removed, the sphere has excess positive charge that is nonuniformly distributed. Slide 5 (e) When the rod is removed, the remaining electrons redistribute uniformly and there is a net uniform distribution of positive charge on the sphere. Fig 23 -4, p. 710

Two point charges separated by a distance r exert a force on each other that is given by Coulomb’s law. The force F 21 exerted by q 2 on q 1 is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force F 12 exerted by q 1 on q 2. (a) When the charges are of the same sign, the force is repulsive. (b) When the charges are of opposite signs, the force is attractive. Slide 9 Fig 23 -7, p. 713

Coulomb’s experiments showed that the electric force between two stationary charged particles • is inversely proportional to the square of the separation r between the particles and directed along the line joining them; • is proportional to the product of the charges q 1 and q 2 on the two particles; • is attractive if the charges are of opposite sign and repulsive if the charges have the same sign.

The value of the Coulomb constant ke depends on the choice of units. The SI unit of charge is the coulomb (C). The Coulomb constant ke in SI units has the value ke = 8. 9875 x 109 N. m 2/C 2 Slide 12
The electron and proton of a hydrogen atom are separated (on the average) by a distance of approximately 5. 3 x 10 -11 m. Find the magnitudes of the electric force and the gravitational force between the two particles. Using Newton’s law of gravitation Slide 13 Thus, the gravitational force between charged atomic particles is negligible when compared with the electric force.

* The gravitational field g at a point in space, g = Fg / m. * An electric field is said to exist in the region of space around a charged object. When another charged object enters this electric field, an electric force acts on it. The vector E has the SI units of newtons per coulomb (N/C), Slide 15

When a particle of charge q and mass m is placed in an electric field E, the electric force exerted on the charge is q. E. If this is the only force exerted on the particle, it must be the net force and so must cause the particle to accelerate. In this case, Newton’s second law applied to the particle gives; Fe = q. E = ma The acceleration of the particle is therefore a = q. E/m • If E is uniform (that is, constant in magnitude and direction), then the acceleration is constant. • If the particle has a positive charge, then its acceleration is in the direction of the electric field. • If the particle has a negative charge, then its acceleration is in the direction opposite the electric field.

A positive point charge q of mass m is released from rest in a uniform electric field E directed along the x axis. Describe its motion. we can apply the equations of kinematics in one dimension Taking xi = 0 and vxi = o Slide 21
The kinetic energy of the charge after it has moved a distance x = xf-xi, is We can also obtain this result from the work–kinetic energy theorem because the work done by the electric force is Fex = q. Ex and W = ∆K Slide 22
An electron enters the region of a uniform electric field with vo=3. 00 x 106 m/s and E= 200 N/C. The horizontal length of the plates is l = 0. 100 m. (a) Find the acceleration of the electron while it is in the electric field. (b) Find the time it takes the electron to travel through the field. (c) What is the vertical displacement y of the electron while it is in the field? If the separation between the plates is less than this, the electron will strike the positive plate. Slide 23
Electric charges have the following important properties: • Unlike charges attract one another, and like charges repel one another. • Charge is conserved. • Charge is quantized—that is, it exists in discrete packets that are some integral multiple of the electronic charge. Conductors are materials in which charges move freely. Insulators are materials in which charges do not move freely. Slide 24
where ˆr is a unit vector directed from the charge to the point in question. The electric field is directed radially outward from a positive charge and radially inward toward a negative charge. The electric field due to a group of point charges can be obtained by using the superposition principle. That is, the total electric field at some point equals the vector sum of the electric fields of all the charges: Slide 25
Electric field lines describe an electric field in any region of space. The number of lines per unit area through a surface perpendicular to the lines is proportional to the magnitude of E in that region. A charged particle of mass m and charge q moving in an electric field E has an acceleration Slide 26
