PHY127 Summer Session II• Most of information is available at: http://nngroup.physics.sunysb.edu/~chiaki/PHY127-08
• 5 homework problems for each chapter are in general due a week later at 11:59 pm and are delivered through MasteringPhysics website at: http://www.masteringphysics.com. You need to open an account.
• In addition to homework problems, there is naturally a reading requirement of each chapter, which is very important.
• The website above is the point of contact outside the class for important messages, so regularly and frequently check the website.• At the end of class a quiz is given for the previous chapter covered in the class. Bring a calculator (no wireless connection), a pencil, an eraser, and a copy of lecture note for the chapter.• The lab session is an integrated part of the course and make sure that you will attend all the sessions. See the syllabus for the detailed information and the information (e.g. lab manuals) at the website above.
Chapter 20: Electric Charge/Force/Field
Electric charge
Two opposite signed charges attract each other
Two equally signed charges repel each other
When a plastic rod is rubbed with a piece of fur, the rod is “negatively” charged
When a glass rod is rubbed with a piece of silk, the rod is “positively” charged
Electric charge is conserved

Electric charge (cont’d)
• Electron: Considered a point object with radius less than 10-18 meters with electric charge e= -1.6 x 10 -19 Coulombs (SI units) and mass me= 9.11 x 10 -
31 kg
• Proton: It has a finite size with charge +e, mass mp= 1.67 x 10-27 kg and with radius– 0.805 +/-0.011 x 10-15 m scattering experiment– 0.890 +/-0.014 x 10-15 m Lamb shift experiment
• Neutron: Similar size as proton, but with total charge = 0 and mass mn=– Positive and negative charges exists inside the neutron
• Pions: Smaller than proton. Three types: + e, - e, 0 charge.– 0.66 +/- 0.01 x 10-15 m
• Quarks: Point objects. Confined to the proton and neutron,– Not free– Proton (uud) charge = 2/3e + 2/3e -1/3e = +e– Neutron (udd) charge = 2/3e -1/3e -1/3e = 0– An isolated quark has never been found
Electric charge (cont’d)
Electric charge (cont’d)
• Two kinds of charges: Positive and Negative• Like charges repel - unlike charges attract• Charge is conserved and quantized
1. Electric charge is always a multiple of the fundamental unit of charge, denoted by e.
2. In 1909 Robert Millikan was the first to measure e.Its value is e = 1.602 x 10−19 C (coulombs).
3. Symbols Q or q are standard for charge.4. Always Q = Ne where N is an integer5. Charges: proton, + e ; electron, − e ; neutron, 0 ; omega, − 3e ;
quarks, ± 1/3 e or ± 2/3 e – how come? – quarks always exist in groups with the N×e rule applying to the group as a whole.
Charging by contact
Charging by induction (cont’d)
Conductors, insulators, and induced charges
Conductors : material in which charges can freely move. metal Insulators : material in which charges are not readily transported. wood Semiconductors : material whose electric property is in between. silicon Induction : A process in which a donor material gives opposite signed charges to another material without losing any of donor’s charges
Coulomb’s law
Coulomb’s law- The magnitude of the electric force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
221
rqq
kF r : distance between two chargesq1,q2 : chargesk : a proportionality constant
- The directions of the forces the two charges exert on each other are always along the line joining them.- When two charges have the same sign, the forces are repulsive.- When two charges have opposite signs, the forces are attractive.

Superposition of forces Principle of superposition of kforces
When two charges exert forces simultaneously on a third charge,the total force acting on that charge is the vector sum of the forcesthat the two charges would exert individually.

These may be considered in 1, 2 or 3 dimensions.
There are some usual conventions for the notation:
Charge per unit length is λ ; units C/m i.e, dq = λ dl
Charge per unit area is σ ; units C/m2 i.e, dq = σ dA
Charge per unit volume is ρ ; units C/m3 i.e, dq = ρdV

Electric field lines An electric field line is an imaginary line or curve drawn through a region of space so that its tangent at any point is in the direction of the electric-field vector at that point.
Electric field lines show the direction of at each point, and their spacing gives a general idea of the magnitude of at each point.
E
E
Where is strong, electric field lines are drawn bunched closely together; where is weaker, they are farther apart.
E
E
At any particular point, the electric field has a unique direction so that only one field line can pass through each point of the field. Field lines never intersect.
Electric field lines
• E-field lines begin on + charges and end on - charges. (or infinity)
• They enter or leave charge symmetrically.• The number of lines entering or leaving a
charge is proportional to the charge.• The density of lines indicates the strength
of E at that point.• At large distances from a system of charges,
the lines become isotropic and radial as froma single point charge equal to the net chargeof the system.
• No two field lines can cross.
