Electric Field – IntroductionThe electric force is a field forceField forces can act through space
The effect is produced even with no physical contact between objects
Faraday developed the concept of a field in terms of electric fields

Electric Field – Definition
An electric field exists in the region of space around a charged object
This charged object is the source chargeWhen another charged object, the test charge, enters this electric field, an electric force acts on it
![Page 4: PC Chapter 21 2 - SMC Faculty Home Pageshomepage.smc.edu/kocharian_armen/Physics22/PC_Chapter_21_2.pdf · Strategy: Consider ring, at radius r, small width dr Compute electric field](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042402/5f139292aec3a94384665654/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Electric Field – Definition, contThe electric field is defined as the electric force on the test charge per unit chargeThe electric field vector, E, at a point in space is defined as the electric force Facting on a positive test charge, qoplaced at that point divided by the test charge: E = Fe / qo

Electric Field, NotesE is the field produced by some charge or charge distribution, separate from the test chargeThe existence of an electric field is a property of the source charge
The presence of the test charge is not necessary for the field to exist
The test charge serves as a detector of the field

Relationship Between F and EFe = qE
This is valid for a point charge onlyOne of zero sizeFor larger objects, the field may vary over the size of the object
If q is positive, F and E are in the same directionIf q is negative, F and E are in opposite directions

Electric Field Notes, FinalThe direction of E is that of the force on a positive test chargeThe SI units of E are N/CWe can also say that an electric field exists at a point if a test charge at that point experiences an electric force

Electric Field – Continuous Charge Distribution
The distances between charges in a group of charges may be much smaller than the distance between the group and a point of interestIn this situation, the system of charges can be modeled as continuousThe system of closely spaced charges is equivalent to a total charge that is continuously distributed along some line, over some surface, or throughout some volume

Problem Solving HintsUnits: when using the Coulomb constant, ke, the charges must be in C and the distances in mCalculating the electric field of point charges: use the superposition principle, find the fields due to the individual charges at the point of interest and then add them as vectors to find the resultant field

Problem Solving Hints, cont.Continuous charge distributions: the vector sums for evaluating the total electric field at some point must be replaced with vector integrals
Divide the charge distribution into infinitesimal pieces, calculate the vector sum by integrating over the entire charge distribution
Symmetry: take advantage of any symmetry to simplify calculations

Example 2 (field of a ring of charge)
Uniformly charged ring, total charge Q, radius aWhat is the electic field at a point P, a distance x, on the axis of the ring.How to solve

dE = electric field due to a small piece of the ring of length ds
dQ = charge of the small piece of the ringSince the circumference is 2πa, and the total charge is Q:
dQ = Q (ds/2πa)
![Page 22: PC Chapter 21 2 - SMC Faculty Home Pageshomepage.smc.edu/kocharian_armen/Physics22/PC_Chapter_21_2.pdf · Strategy: Consider ring, at radius r, small width dr Compute electric field](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042402/5f139292aec3a94384665654/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The next step is to look at the componentsBefore we do that, let’s think!
We are on the axis of the ringThere cannot be any net y or z components
A net y or z component would break the azimuthal symmetry of the problem
Let’s just add up the x-components and forget about the rest!
z
![Page 23: PC Chapter 21 2 - SMC Faculty Home Pageshomepage.smc.edu/kocharian_armen/Physics22/PC_Chapter_21_2.pdf · Strategy: Consider ring, at radius r, small width dr Compute electric field](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042402/5f139292aec3a94384665654/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What is going on with the y and z components?
The y (or z) component of the electric field caused by the element ds is always exactly cancelled by the electric field caused by the element ds' on the other side of the ring

Now we sum over the whole ring, i.e. we take the integral:
![Page 25: PC Chapter 21 2 - SMC Faculty Home Pageshomepage.smc.edu/kocharian_armen/Physics22/PC_Chapter_21_2.pdf · Strategy: Consider ring, at radius r, small width dr Compute electric field](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042402/5f139292aec3a94384665654/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Time to think about the integral now.The integration is "over the ring"
• k is a constant of nature• a is the ring-radius, a constant for a given ring• x is the distance from the center of the ring
of the point at which we want the E-field,x is also a constant
= Q
![Page 26: PC Chapter 21 2 - SMC Faculty Home Pageshomepage.smc.edu/kocharian_armen/Physics22/PC_Chapter_21_2.pdf · Strategy: Consider ring, at radius r, small width dr Compute electric field](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042402/5f139292aec3a94384665654/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Sanity check: do limiting cases make sense?
What do we expect for x=0 and x ∞?At x=0 expect E=0
Again, because of symmetry Our formula gives E=0 for x=0 ☺
As x ∞, ring should look like a point.Then, should get E kQ/x2
As x ∞, (x2+a2) x2
Then E kxQ/x3 = kQ/x2 ☺

Example – Charged DiskThe ring has a radius R and a uniform charge density σChoose dq as a ring of radius rThe ring has a surface area 2πr dr
![Page 29: PC Chapter 21 2 - SMC Faculty Home Pageshomepage.smc.edu/kocharian_armen/Physics22/PC_Chapter_21_2.pdf · Strategy: Consider ring, at radius r, small width dr Compute electric field](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042402/5f139292aec3a94384665654/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Electric Field LinesField lines give us a means of representing the electric field pictoriallyThe electric field vector E is tangent to the electric field line at each point
The line has a direction that is the same as that of the electric field vector
The number of lines per unit area through a surface perpendicular to the lines is proportional to the magnitude of the electric field in that region

Another electric field example
Electric field on axis of a uniformly charged disk?As we did last time:
Calculate the field due to a small piece of the diskAdd-up the contributions from all the small pieces
Key question: What is the most convenient way of breaking up the disk into small pieces?Exploit result from last time: field due to a ring
Break up the disk into a bunch of concentric rings

Back to the disk
Strategy:Consider ring, at radius r, small width drCompute electric field dE due to this ringAdd up the electric fields of all the rings that make up the disk
Electric field due to ring, using prev. result:
dQ = charge of ring
![Page 32: PC Chapter 21 2 - SMC Faculty Home Pageshomepage.smc.edu/kocharian_armen/Physics22/PC_Chapter_21_2.pdf · Strategy: Consider ring, at radius r, small width dr Compute electric field](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042402/5f139292aec3a94384665654/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
dQ = charge of ring
Next question: what is dQ?• Total charge of the disk = Q• dQ/Q = [Area of the ring] / [Area of the disk]• Area of the disk = πR2
• Area of ring = 2πr dr
• dQ = Q(2r/R2)dr
width of the ring
circumference of the ring

Surface charge density:σ = Q/Area = Q/(πR2)
Q = πσR2

Now we sum over the rings we integrate:
What are we integrating over?Integrate over r, from r=0 to r=R

A curious result (counterintuitive ?)
Consider infinitely large disk, i.e., R ∞x2+R2 ∞, the 2nd term in parenthesis 0E σ /(2ε0)Constant, independent of x !!
The electric field of an infinitely large, uniformly charged plane is perpendicular to the plane, and constant in magnitude E=σ/(2ε0) In the limit, this holds also for a finite plane provided the distance from the plane is small compared to the size of the plane

Another example (Problem 21.102)Find electric field at any point on x-axis
Brute force approach:- find the field due to a small piece of the disk- sum over all of the pieces (integrate)There is a better way:- use previous results + a trick !

Previous result:
How can we apply it to:
Imagine two rings with no holesRadius R2, charge density +σRadius R1, charge density -σ
The sum of the fields due to these two rings will be the same as the field of the ring with the hole!

Electric Field Lines – Rules for DrawingThe lines must begin on a positive charge and terminate on a negative charge
In the case of an excess of one type of charge, some lines will begin or end infinitely far away
The number of lines drawn leaving a positive charge or approaching a negative charge is proportional to the magnitude of the chargeNo two field lines can cross
