  1. Review

  2. Coulomb’s Law

  3. Units of Charge 1 Coulomb (C)

  4. Direction of the electric force is always along the line joining the two objects. Direction of the force depends on whether the charges have the same sign or opposite sign.

  5. Coulomb’s Law in terms of e0, permittivity of free space.

  6. Conceptual Example Two positive point charges Q1=50 mC and Q2=1 mC, are separated by a distance l. Which is larger in magnitude, the force that exerts on Q1 exerts on Q2, or the force that Q2 exerts on Q1?

  7. The Electric Field

  8. The electric field E at a point in space is defined as an electric force F, acting on a positive test charge q divided by the magnitude of the test charge

  9. Units of Electric Field 1 N/C

  10. Field Lines

  11. At every point of electric field line, electric field E is tangent to this line. No two field lines can cross! • The line must begin at positive charge and terminate on the negative one unless go to infinity. • The number of line per unit area is proportional to the magnitude of electric field.

  12. Electric Fields and Conductors

  13. Important: electric field inside of good conductor is zero!!!!

  14. Important: any net charge on a good conductor distributes itself on the surface!!!!

  15. Electric field is always perpendicular to the surface of conductor:

  16. P d d q Q Is it possible to place a charge at point Q such that the electric field produced at point P by the two charges will be add to zero?

  17. Electric Potential and Electric Energy

  18. It’s useful to define the electric potential (or simply the potential) as a potential energy per unit charge:

  19. Units of Electric Potential 1 V = 1 J/C

  20. Important: this simple formula for E may be used only for uniform field!!!!

  21. Equipotential Lines

  22. The equipotential surface must be perpendicular to the surface.

  23. Important: the surface of a good conductor is always an equipotential surface!!!!

  24. Electric Potential Due to Point Charges

  25. Work to Force Two Positive Charges Close Together What minimum work is required by an external force to bring a charge q=3.00 mC from a great distance away to a point 0.5 m from a charge Q=20mC?

  26. Capacitance

  27. Q = CV The constant of proportionality, C , in the last relation is called the capacitance of the capacitor.

  28. Important: the capacitance C is a constant for a given capacitor; it does not depend on charge Q or voltage V.

  29. Capacitance of a Parallel-PlateCapacitor

  30. Energy Stored in Capacitor

  31. When such a circuit is formed, charge can flow through the wires of the circuit, from one terminal of the battery to the other. A flow of charge such as this is called as electric current.

  32. Units of Current 1 Ampere (A) = 1 C /1 s

  33. Important: Current is not a vector, it’s a scalar!!!!

  34. Definition of Resistance I=V/R

  35. Ohm’s Law The current through a metal conductor is proportional to the applied voltage.

  36. Resistivity

  37. Effect of Temperature

  38. a – temperature coefficient of resistivity is positive for metals and negative for semiconductors.

  39. Electric Power

  40. Average Power

  41. Root-Mean-Square Values (RMS)
