Electricity, Magnetism and Light PHYSICS 208, Instructor:Olga KocharovskayaLectures 1,2 (Ch.21)Electric Charge and Electric Field 1. Introduction • How to solve the problems? • Four types of interactions 2. Electric Properties of the matter Two types of electric charge Conductors and Insulators Coulomb’s Law 3. Electric field
How to solve problems? • Solve many before this one • Solve it yourself • Ask for hints but not for solution • Discuss it with your friends • Think about it before you go to sleep (you may find a solution in your dream) • Use symmetry of the problem • Use superposition principle • Do not surrender! • Forget it (not for exam!), then try again • Enjoy the solution!!!
How to make sure your answer is correct? • Get a general (algebraic) solution • Check the units of the answer, make sure you have units consistency • Check limiting cases • Check an order of magnitude, is it REASONABLE? (the speed should not be greater then than that of the light in vacuum, a charge should not be smaller than that of electron, a distance is unlikely to be smaller than 10-15 m in our course, etc.) • Check the answer in the textbook
Four types of interactions • Gravity (between massive bodies) Planetary systems, Galaxies,Space trajectories Weight:F=mg Earth

Structure of the Molecules e e e e H2 Na+Cl-
Chemical reactions and biological processes Water is an excellent solvent due to the dipole character of its molecule
Modern Technologies: internet, telecommunications, nanotechnolgies, CD, DVD, lasers, cell phones,…
3.Strong Interactions 4.Weak Interactions 27 km ring Hadrons (proton, neutron,…), colour charge Leptons (electron, muon, tau-lepton, neitrinos) lepton charge Interactions between elementary particles, using modern EM technologies Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Counter propagating proton beams accelerated to 7x1012 eV In search for a dark matter
Electric Properties of the matter • Two types of charges: + and – (Ben Franklin,1740) glass silk plastic fur
2. Quatization of chargeQ=ne, n=1,2,3,…e is the minimum value of charge Particle mass charge electron 9.11×10-31kg -1.60×10-19 C (-e) proton 1.672×10-27kg +1.60×10-19C (+e) neutron 1.674×10-27kg 0 SI : [Q]=1C
3. Conservation of Charge: e e e e Na+Cl- NaCl q1+q2=0 q1=0 q2=0 Na+ q1=eCl- q2=-e
4. Three types of materials 1. Conductors (free electrons) Metalls, alloys, plasmas Induction 2. Insulators=Dielectrics (bounded electrons) Glass, plastic, paper Polarization 3. Semiconductors (number of free electrons strongly depends on external conditions such as temperature, electric field , pressure; under the usual conditions number of electrons is small)
5. Amber effect: Charged and neutral object always attract each other
6. Charging of neutral objects 1.By friction: q1=0, q2=0 q1=Q q2=-Q 2. By contact q1=Q q2=0 q1+q2=Q q1=Q/2 q2=Q/2 3. By induction
Coulomb’s Law For an ensemble of charges use a Superposition Principle:
Example1. Compare the electric and gravity forces between an electron and a proton.
Electric Field, Coulomb’s Law Newton’s Law Q M m r r q • “That one body may act upon another at a distance … • is to me so great an absurdity…” I. Newton • Michael Faraday (1791-1867) • Two steps: • Q creates electric field, • produces the force on q or
Two steps in more details: the source and test charges 1. Q produces electric field at point P indepententely on the presence of charge q at this point: Q Source 2. produces a force on a test charge q: SI units of E: [E]=[F]/[q]=N/C

Electric field lines • 2.Density of lines is proportional to |E| • 3. Originate on “+” and terminate on “-” charges • 4. Crossing of E lines is impossible • 5. Closed lines are impossible in ES • NB: in the general case • |E| is not const along E lines • Not the trajectories of the charged particles 1.Tangent is in direction of
Two infinite planes Uniform E : the same direction and magnitude at each point N=const, S=const, E=const
