Electrostatics, we will conduct experiments to observe the behavior of charged objects using rods made of different materials. Activities include using clickers for informal voting on predictions regarding the attraction and repulsion of charged rods. Students will gain insights into the nature of charge, differences between positive and negative charges, and the properties of conductors and insulators. These early experiments lay the groundwork for understanding fundamental concepts in electrostatics while engaging in interactive learning.

What’s Happening • Clicker use will start on Friday (maybe). We will use them today informally. • There will NOT be a quiz this week. • There WILL be a quiz a week from Friday. • WebAssigns are now active. Get to work!!
Experimental Procedure Pivot • The sequence of Experiments • Identify the two rods • Treat each rod • Bring one rod near to the other • PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN • VOTE ON POSSIBILITIES • Observe what happens • Did you learn anything? What?
motion Rubber rod Pivot Rubber rod Experiment #1 • Rods will attract each other • Rods will repel each other • Nothing will happen • Something not listed above will happen
Rubber rubbed with skin of dead rabbit Pivot Rubber rubbed with skin of dead rabbit Experiment #2 • Rods will attract each other • Rods will repel each other • Nothing will happen • Something not listed above will happen
The charges on the two rods are .. • Since we treated both rods in the same way, they should be of the same type • ……. different types • I have no idea what you are asking for. • Leave me alone … I’m napping!
Definition of sorts We DEFINE the “stuff” that we put on the rods by the rubbing process as CHARGE. We will try to understand what charge is and how it behaves. We add to the properties of materials: Mass Charge
Pivot Experiment #3 Glass rubbed with wool Glass rubbed with wool • Rods will attract each other • Rods will repel each other • Nothing will happen • Something not listed above will happen
Pivot Experiment #4 Rubber rubbed with skin of dead rabbit Glass rubbed with wool • Rods will attract each other • Rods will repel each other • Nothing will happen • Something not listed above will happen
What’s Going On? • All of these effects involve rubbing two surfaces together. • Or pulling two surfaces apart. • Something has “happened “to each of these objects. • These objects have a new PROPERTY • Other properties are mass, color • We call this NEW PROPERTY .………. ………CHARGE. • There seems to be two types of charge.
We call these two types of charge • Positive • Negative An object without either a (+) or (-) charge is referred to as being NEUTRAL.
We have also observed that there must be TWO kinds of charge. • Call these two types • positive (+) • negative(-) • We “define” the charge that winds up on the rubber rod when rubbed by the dead cat to be NEGATIVE. • The charge on the glass rod or the dead cat is consequently defined as POSITIVE.
Materials • Two kinds of materials: • Insulators • Electrons and Protons are tightly bound to their positions. Hard to move them around. • Conductors • Electrons are easily removed and moved around. • Electrons are said to be MOBILE charges. • There are other kinds of materials that we will not discuss: semiconductors, semi-metals
Pivot Experiment #5 Rubber rubbed with skin of dead rabbit Metal Rod • Rods will attract each other • Rods will repel each other • Nothing will happen • Something not listed above will happen
The Triboelectric Series When two of the following materials are rubbed together under ordinary circumstances, the top listed material becomes positively charged and the lower listed material becomes negatively charged.MORE POSITIVE rabbit's fur glass mica nylon wool cat's fur silk paper cotton wood acrylic cellophane tape polystyrene polyethylene rubber balloon saran wrap MORE NEGATIVE No! No! No! No!
So far we have found? • There are TWO types of charge. • Positive • Negative • Like Charges Attract • Un-Like charges repel • The force between charges increases as they are brought closer together. • This charge separation results from chemical bonds which are severed.
Coulomb’s Law – Force between charges • The force between two charges is proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. • The force acts along the line connecting the two charges.
Coulomb’s Law Force is a Vector ! The Unit of Charge is called THE COULOMB Smallest Charge: e ( a positive number) 1.6 x 10-19 Coul. electron charge = -e Proton charge = +e
Two small beads having positive charges 3q and q are fixed at the opposite ends of a horizontal, insulating rod, extending from the origin to the point x = d. As shown in Figure P23.10, a third small charged bead is free to slide on the rod. At what position is the third bead in equilibrium? Can it be in stable equilibrium?
Fields • Imagine an object is placed at a particular point in space. • When placed there, the object experiences a force F. • We may not know WHY there is a force on the object, although we usually will. • Suppose further that if we double some property of the object (mass, charge, …) then the force is found to double as well. • Then the object is said to be in a force field. • The strength of the field (field strength) is defined as the ratio of the force to the property that we are dealing with.
