Introduction

Knowledge of electricity dates back to Greek antiquity (700 BC).

Began with the realization that amber when rubbed with wool, attracts small objects.

This phenomenon is not restricted to amber/wool but may occur whenever two non-conducting substances are rubbed together.

Net Electrical Charge

Matters are made of atoms. An atom is basically composed of three different components : electrons, protons, and neutrons. An electron can be removed easily from an atom

Normally, an atom is electrically neutral, which means that there are equal numbers of protons and electrons. Positive charge of protons is balanced by negative charge of electrons. It has no net electrical charge.

When atoms gain or lose electrons, they are called "ions." A positive ion is a cation that misses electrons. A negative ion is an anion that gains extra electrons.

What is charge?

Objects that exert electric forces are said to have charge. Charge is the source of electrical force. There are two kinds of electrical charges, positive and negative. Same charges (+ and +, or - and -) repel and opposite charges (+ and -) attract each other.

Page 11: 1 General Physics II 2 General Physics II: Electricity & Magnetism I.Course Description Coulomb's law, the electrostatic field, Gauss ’ s Law, the electrostatic

11

The Law of Conservation of Charge

The Law of conservation of charge states that the net charge of an isolated system remains constant.

Charged Objects When two objects are rubbed together, some electrons from one object move to another object. For example, when a plastic bar is rubbed with fur, electrons will move from the fur to the plastic stick. Therefore, plastic bar will be negatively charged and the fur will be positively charged.

Quantization Robert Millikan found, in 1909, that charged

objects may only have an integer multiple of a fundamental unit of charge. Charge is quantized. An object may have a charge e, or 2e, or

3e, etc but not say 1.5e. Proton has a charge +1e. Electron has a charge –1e. Some particles such a neutron have no (zero)

charge.

"charge is quantized" in terms of an equation, we

say: q = n e

Page 14: 1 General Physics II 2 General Physics II: Electricity & Magnetism I.Course Description Coulomb's law, the electrostatic field, Gauss ’ s Law, the electrostatic

14

The symbol for electric charge is written q, - q or Q.The unit of electric charge is coulomb "C". The charge of one electron is equal to the charge of one proton, which is 1.6 * 10-19 C. This number is given a symbol "e".

Unit of Electrical Charge: The Coulomb " C "

Example: How many electrons are there in 1 C of charge?

15

Insulators and Conductors( Material classification) Materials/substances may be classified according to their capacity to carry or conduct electric

charge Conductors are material in which electric charges move

freely. Insulator are materials in which electrical charge do not

move freely. Glass, Rubber are good insulators. Copper, aluminum, and silver are good conductors.

Semiconductors are a third class of materials with electrical properties somewhere between those of insulators and conductors. Silicon and germanium are semiconductors used

widely in the fabrication of electronic devices.

Coulomb’s LawCoulomb discovered in 1785 the fundamental law

of electrical force between two stationary charged particles.

An electric force has the following properties: Inversely proportional to the square of the separation, r, between the particles,

and is along a line joining them. Proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges |q1| and |q2| on the

two particles. Attractive if the charges are of opposite sign and repulsive if the charges have

the same sign.

Electric Field

Suggests the notion of electrical field (first introduced by Michael Faraday (1791-1867).

An electric field is said to exist in a region of space surrounding a charged object.

If another charged object enters a region where an electrical field is present, it will be subject to an electrical force.

Electric Field Lines

To visualize electric field patterns, one can draw lines pointing in the direction of the electric field vector at any point.These lines are called electric field lines.

1. The electric field vector is tangent to the electric field lines at each point.

2. The number of lines per unit area through a surface perpendicular to the lines is proportional to the strength of the electric field in a given region.

3. No two field lines can cross each other . Why?

Electric Flux Electric flux quantifies the notion

“number of field lines crossing a surface.” The electric flux through a flat

surface in a uniform electric field depends on the field strength E, the surface area A, and the angle between the field and the normal to the surface.

Mathematically, the flux is given by

Here A is a vector whose magnitude is the surface area A and whose orientation is normal to the surface.

Gauss’s law makes it possible to find the electric field easily in highly symmetric situations.

A few important points on Gauss’ Law

The integral is over the value of E on a closed surface of our choice in any given situation

The charge Qencl is the net charge enclosed by the arbitrary close surface of our choice.

It does NOT matter where or how much charge is distributed inside the surface

The charge outside the surface does not contribute. Why?

Question

Gauss’s law can be used to calculate the electric field if the symmetry of the charge distribution is high. Here we concentrate in three different ways of charge distribution

A linear charge distribution A surface charge distribution A volume charge distribution

Page 88: 1 General Physics II 2 General Physics II: Electricity & Magnetism I.Course Description Coulomb's law, the electrostatic field, Gauss ’ s Law, the electrostatic

88

From symmetry we can see that the electric field will extend radially from the wire.

How? If we rotate the wire along its axis, the

electric field must look the same Cylindrical symmetry

If we imagine a very long wire, the electric field cannot be different anywhere along the length of the wire Translational symmetry

Thus our assumption of a right cylinder as a Gaussian surface is perfectly suited for the calculation of the electric field using Gauss’ Law.

Notice that the electric field will increase as r increases, and also the electric field is proportional to r for r<R.  For the region outside the cylinder (r>R), the electric field will decrease as r increases.

Two Parallel Conducting Plates When we have the situation shown in the left two panels (a positively charged

plate and another negatively charged plate with the same magnitude of charge), both in isolation, they each have equal amounts of charge (surface charge density ) on both faces.

But when we bring them close together, the charges on the far sides move to the near sides, so on that inner surface the charge density is now 2.

A Gaussian surface shows that the net charge is zero (no flux through sides — dA perpendicular to E, or ends — E = 0). E = 0 outside, too, due to shielding, in just the same way we saw for the sphere.

107

Two Parallel Nonconducting Sheets The situation is different if you bring two nonconducting sheets of charge close

to each other. In this case, the charges cannot move, so there is no shielding, but now we can

use the principle of superposition. In this case, the electric field on the left due to the positively charged sheet is

canceled by the electric field on the left of the negatively charged sheet, so the field there is zero.

Likewise, the electric field on the right due to the negatively charged sheet is canceled by the electric field on the right of the positively charged sheet.

The result is much the same as before, with the electric field in between being twice what it was previously.

123

Units of electric field (N/C) can be expressed in

terms of the units of potential (as volts per meter)

Because the positive tends to move in the direction of the electric field, work must be done on the charge to move it in the direction, opposite the field. Thus, A positive charge gains electric potential energy when it is moved in

a direction opposite the electric field A negative charge looses electrical potential energy when it moves

in the direction opposite the electric field

Example : A uniform electric field of magnitude 250 V/m is directed in the positive x direction. A +12µC charge moves from the origin to the point (x,y) = (20cm, 50cm). (a) What was the change in the potential energy of this charge? (b) Through what potential difference did the

charge move?

Begin by drawing a picture of the situation, including the direction of the electric field, and the start and end point of the motion.

(a) The change potential energy is given by the charge times the field times the distance moved parallel to the field. Although the charge moves 50cm in the y direction, the y direction is perpendicular to the field. Only the 20cm moved parallel to the field in the x direction matters for determining the change of potential energy. ∆ PE = -qEd = -(+12µC)(250 V/m)(0.20 m) = -6.0×10-4 .

(b) The potential difference is the difference of electric potential,.

∆ V = ∆ PE / q = -6.0×10-4 J / 12µC = -50 V.

Problem :A proton is placed between two parallel conducting plates in a vacuum as shown.

The potential difference between the two plates is 450 V. The proton is released from rest close to the positive plate.What is the kinetic energy of the proton when it reaches the negative plate?

Example : Through what potential difference would an electron need to accelerate to achieve a speed of 60% of the speed of light, starting from rest? (The speed of light is 3.00×108 m/s.)

The final speed of the electron is vf = 0.6(3.00×108 m/s) = 1.80×108 m/s. At this speed, the energy (non-relativistic) is the kinetic energy,KE =KEf =½mvf² = 0.5(9.11×10-31 kg)(1.80×108 m/s)² = 1.48×10-14 J.This energy must equal the change in potential energy from moving through a potential difference, KEf = ∆PE = -q ∆V. Therefore:∆V = KE/q = (1.48×10-14 J)/(-1.6×10-19 C) = -9.25×104 V.

Potentials and charged conductors

Recall that work is opposite of the change in

potential energy,

No work is required to move a charge between two points that are at the same potential. That is, W=0 if VB=VA

Recall: 1. all charge of the charged conductor is located on its surface

2. electric field, E, is always perpendicular to its surface, i.e. no work is done if charges are moved along the surface

Thus: potential is constant everywhere on the surface of a charged conductor in equilibrium

… but that’s not all!

Page 133: 1 General Physics II 2 General Physics II: Electricity & Magnetism I.Course Description Coulomb's law, the electrostatic field, Gauss ’ s Law, the electrostatic

133

Because the electric field is zero inside the conductor, no work is required to move charges between any two points, i.e.

If work is zero, any two points inside the conductor have the same potential, i.e. potential is constant everywhere inside a conductor

Finally, since one of the points can be arbitrarily close to the surface of the conductor, the electric potential is constant everywhere inside a conductor and equal to its value at the surface!

Note that the potential inside a conductor is not necessarily zero, even though the interior electric field is always zero!

Note that the Bohr model, the idea of electrons as tiny balls orbiting the nucleus, is not a very good model of the atom.

The units of capacitance are coulombs per volt. The unit of capacitance has been given the name

farad (abbreviated F) named after British physicist Michael Faraday (1791 - 1867)

A farad is a very large capacitance Typically we deal with F (10-6 F), nF (10-9 F),

In other words, there exists a maximum of the electric field, sometimes called dielectric strength, that can be produced in the dielectric before it breaks down

The capacitor is charged to an initial voltage of 3 kV and then disconnected from the charging source. An insulating material is placed between the plates, completely filling the space, resulting in a decrease in the capacitors voltage to 1 kV. Determine the original and new capacitance, the charge on the capacitor, and the dielectric constant of the material.

Current Density When we care only about the total current I in a conductor, we do

not have to worry about its shape. However, sometimes we want to look in more detail at the current

flow inside the conductor. Similar to what we did with Gauss’ Law (electric flux through a surface), we can consider the flow of charge through a surface. To do this, we consider (charge per unit time) per unit area, i.e. current per unit area, or current density. The units are amps/square meter (A/m2).

Resistivity Electrons moving inside a conductor subject to an

external potential constantly collide with atoms of the conductor.

They lose energy and are repeated re-accelerated by the electric field produced by the external potential.

The collision process is equivalent to an internal friction. This is the origin of a material’s resistance.

section area, A, of the conductor.

The constant of proportionality is called the resistivity of the material.

What is electromotive force (emf)?

A current is maintained in a closed circuit by a source of emf.The term emf was originally an abbreviation for electromotive force but emf is NOT really a force, so the long term is discouraged.

A source of emf works as “charge pump” that forces electrons to move in a direction opposite the electrostatic field inside the source.

Examples of such sources are:Examples of such sources are:batteriesbatteriesgeneratorsgeneratorsthermocouplesthermocouplesphoto-voltaic cellsphoto-voltaic cells

• Atomic magnetic dipoles (~atomic bar magnets) tend to line up with the field, increasing it. But thermal motion randomizes their directions, so only a small effect persists: Bind ~ Bapp •10-5

Cyclotrons

A cyclotron is a particle accelerator

The D-shaped pieces (descriptively called “dees”) have alternating electric potentials applied to them such that a positively charged particle always sees a negatively charged dee ahead when it emerges from under the previous dee, which is now positively charged

The resulting electric field accelerates the particle

Because the cyclotron sits in a strong magnetic field, the trajectory is curved

The radius of the trajectory is proportional to the momentum, so the accelerated particle spirals outward

Faraday’s Law: Experiments A current appears only if there is relative

motion between the loop and the magnet; the current disappears when the relative motion between them ceases.

Faster motion produces a greater current.

If moving the magnet’s north pole toward the loop causes, say, clockwise current, then moving the north pole away causes counterclockwise current. Moving the south pole toward or away from the loop also causes currents, but in the reversed directions.

An emf is induced in the loop when the number of magnetic field lines that pass through the loop is changing.

A coil consists of 200 turns of wire having a total resistance of 2.0 . Each turn is a square of side 18 cm, and a uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular to the plane of the coil is turned on. If the field changes linearly form 0 to 0.50 T in 0.80s, what is the magnitude of the induced emf in the coil while the field is changing.

The area of one turn of the coil is (0.18m)2 = 0.0324 m2.

The magnetic flux through the coil at t=0 is zero because B=0 at that time.

At t=0.80s, the magnetic flux through one turn is : B = BA = (0.50T)(0.0324m2) = 0.0162T.m2

Therefore, the magnitude of the induced emf is :

Example : An Exponentially Decaying B Field

A loop of wire enclosing an area A is placed in a region where the magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The magnitude of B varies in time according to the expression B = Bmax e-at, where a is some constant. That is, at t=0 the field is Bmax, and for t>0, the field decreases exponentially. Find the induced emf in the loop as a function of time.

Page 371: 1 General Physics II 2 General Physics II: Electricity & Magnetism I.Course Description Coulomb's law, the electrostatic field, Gauss ’ s Law, the electrostatic

371

Solution

Because B is perpendicular to the plane of the loop, the magnetic flux thought the loop at time t>0 is : B = BAcos0 = ABmaxe-at

Because Abmax and a are constants, the induced emf is :

This expression indicates that the induced emf decays exponentially in time.

Note that the maximum emf occurs at t=0, where max = aABmax.

375

Solution

Consider a segment of the bar of length dr having a velocity v.

The magnitude of the emf induced in this segment is :

Because every segment of the bar is moving perpendicular to B, an emf d of the same form is generated across each.

Summing the emfs induced across all segments, which are in series, gives the total emf between the ends of the bar :

To integrate this expression, we must note that the linear speed of an element is related to the angular speed through the relationship v = r.

Therefore, because B and are constants, we find that :

Example : Magnetic Force Acting on a Sliding Bar

The conducting bar illustrated in Figure, of mass m and length , moves on two frictionless parallel rails in the presence of a uniform magnetic field directed into the page. The bar is given an initial velocity vi to the right and is released at t=0. Find the velocity of the bar as a function of time.

Page 377: 1 General Physics II 2 General Physics II: Electricity & Magnetism I.Course Description Coulomb's law, the electrostatic field, Gauss ’ s Law, the electrostatic

377

Solution

The induced current is counterclockwise, and the magnetic force is FB = -I B, where the negative sign denotes that the force is to the left and retards the motion.

This is the only horizontal force acting on the bar, and hence Newton’s second law applied to motion in the horizontal direction gives :

We know that I=B v/R, and so we can write this expression as :

where the constant

From this result, we see that the velocity can be expressed in the exponential form :

This expression indicates that the velocity of the bar decreases exponentially with time under the action of the magnetic retarding force.

Lenz’s LawThe polarity of the induced emf is such that it tends to produce a current that creates a magnetic flux to oppose the change in magnetic flux through the area enclosed by the current loop.As the bar is slid to the right,

the flux through the loop increases.

This induces an emf that will result in an opposing flux.

Since the external field is into the screen, the induced field has to be out of the screen.

Which means a counterclockwise current

380

Energy Considerations

Suppose, instead of flowing counterclockwise, the induced current flows clockwise:

Then the force will be towards the right

which will accelerate the bar to the right

which will increase the magnetic flux

which will cause more induced current to flow

which will increase the force on the bar

… and so on

All this is inconsistent with the conservation of energy

Moving Magnet and Stationary Coil

Right moving magnet increases flux through the loop.

It induces a current that creates it own magnetic field to oppose the flux increase.

Left moving magnet decreases flux through the loop.

It induces a current that creates it own magnetic field to oppose the flux decrease.

382

Application of Lenz’s Law

When the switch is closed, the flux goes from zero to a finite value in the direction shown.

To counteract this flux, the induced current in the ring has to create a field in the opposite direction.

After a few seconds, since there is no change in the flux, no current flows.

When the switch is opened again, this time flux decreases, so a current in the opposite direction will be induced to counter act this decrease.

Example : Electric Field Induced by a Changing Magnetic Field in a Solenoid

A long solenoid of radius R has n turns of wire per unit length and carries a time-varying current that varies sinusoidally as I = Imax cos t, where Imax is the maximum current and is the angular frequency of the alternating current source Figure. (a) Determine the magnitude of the induced electric field outside the solenoid, a distance r > R from its long central axis. (b) What is the magnitude of the induced elelctric field inside the solenoid, a distance r from its axis?

386

Solution for (a)

Consider an external point and take the path for our line integral to be a circle of radius r centered on the solenoid as illustrated in Figure (31.18).

The magnitude of E is constant on this path and that E is tangent to it.

The magnetic flux through the area enclosed by this path is BA = BR2; hence :

The magnetic field inside a long solenoid is given by , B = onI.

396

When the conducting rod moves to the right, this serves to increase the flux as time passes , so any induced current wants to stop this change and decrease the magnetic flux. Therefore, the induced current will act in such a way to oppose the external field (i.e., the field due to the induced current will be opposite to the external field). This must be a counterclockwise current.

To find the current, we only need to find the motionally-induced voltage and then apply Ohm’s law. The rod is just a bar of length l moving at velocity v in a magnetic field B. This gives us an voltage ∆V , and Ohm’s law gives us I:

397

Keep in mind that v is velocity, while ∆V is voltage. Of course, the problem is now that we don’t know B. We do know that the external and magnetic forces must balance for the rod to have a constant velocity however. Constant velocity implies zero acceleration, which implies no net force. If this is to be true, the applied force must exactly balance the magnetic force on the rod. For a conductor of length l carrying a current I in a field B, we know how to calculate the magnetic force
