  1. Physics 102:Lecture 02 Coulomb’s Lawand Electric Fields • Today’s lecture will cover Textbook Sections 16.3-6 Physics 102: Lecture 2, Slide 1

  2. Qp=1.6x10-19 C Qe = -1.6x10-19 C + - r = 1x10-10 m Recall Coulomb’s Law • Magnitude of the force between charges q1 and q2 separated a distance r: F = k q1q2/r2 k = 9x109 Nm2/C2 • Force on nucleus of Hydrogen from e- Example F • F = (9x109)(1.6x10-19)(1.6x10-19)/(10-10)2 N • = 2.3x10-8 N (to the right) Physics 102: Lecture 2, Slide 2

  3. Example Three Charges • Calculate force on +2mC charge due to other two charges • Calculate force from +7mC charge • Calculate force from –3.5mC charge • Add (VECTORS!) Q=+2.0mC 4 m 6 m Q=+7.0mC Q=-3.5 mC Physics 102: Lecture 2, Slide 3

  4. q=1.6x10-19 C + r = 1x10-10 m Electric Field • Charged particles create electric fields. • Direction is the same as for the force that a + charge would feel at that location. • Magnitude given by: E  F/q = kq/r2 Example • E = Direction? Physics 102: Lecture 2, Slide 4

  5. Preflight 2.3 • What is the direction of the electric field at point B? • Left • Right • Zero y A B x Physics 102: Lecture 2, Slide 5

  6. ACT: E Field • What is the direction of the electric field at point C? • Left • Right • Zero y C x Physics 102: Lecture 2, Slide 6

  7. ACT: E Field • What is the direction of the electric field at point C? • Left • Right • Zero Red is negative Blue is positive Away from positive charge (right) Towards negative charge (right) Net E field is to right. y C x Physics 102: Lecture 2, Slide 7

  8. Comparison:Electric Force vs. Electric Field • Electric Force (F) - the actual force felt by a charge at some location. • Electric Field (E) - found for a location only – tells what the electric force would be if a charge were located there: F = qE • Both are vectors, with magnitude and direction. Add x & y components. Physics 102: Lecture 2, Slide 8
