Course Grading


Today we are going to discuss:

Chapter 22:

Charges,Insulators,Conductors:Section 22.1-3 Coulomb’sLaw:Section 22.4


Electricity

• Electricity and magnetism is all around us.microphones, calculators, televisions, radio, computers.

• The colors of the rainbow in the blue sky are there because of electricity

• Your nerve system is driven by electricity.• You could not see without electricity.


Electrostatics

Electrical forces arise from particles in atoms Electrons – negatively chargedProtons – positively charged (by convention)

Like charges repel Opposite charges attract

Observations: charges interact

Coulomb found an expression to describe these interactions


Coulomb’s law

In SI units K = 8.99 109 N m2/C2.

When two charged particles are a distance, r, apart, they each experience a force.

Rewriting Coulomb’s law in terms of 0 gives us:

Let’s define a new constant, called the permittivity constant 0:

The force between two charges separatedby a distance d is F. If the charges arepulled apart to a distance 3d, what is theforce on each charge?

Insulators and conductors

The electrons in an insulator are all tightlybound to the positive nuclei and not free tomove around.

In metals, the outer atomic electrons are onlyweakly bound to the nuclei.These outer electrons become detached fromtheir parent nuclei and are free to wanderabout through the entire solid.


Now to describe processes of charging insulators and conductors we will need a charged object, a charged rod.

It leads to CONSERVATION OF CHARGEThe net amount of electric charge produced in any process is zero

Charge induction in an insulator

A neutral atom is polarized by an external charge, forming an electric dipole.

Demonstrations

A Van de Graff generator (named after its inventor) is a high voltage generator. It basically loads a spherical hollow conductor with static charges which brings the conductor to a very high (or very low) potential.
