What holds your body together?
What keeps a skyscraper standing?
What keeps a car on the road as it turns?
What governs the electronics in computers?
What provides the tension in a climbing rope?
What enables the photosynthesis of plants?
Ans: electric forces.
All macroscopic phenomena are governed by gravity & EM forces.
Notable effective forces of electrical origin:
• Tension
• Normal Forces
• Compression
• Friction
• Most forces in chemistry & biology
What’s the fundamental criterion for initiating a lightning strike?
Ans. E > 3 MV/m
20.1. Electric Charge
2 kinds of charges: + & .
Total charge = algebraic sum of all charges.
Like charges repel.
Opposite charges attract.
Q   qi  d 3 x   r 

i
All electrons have charge e.
e  1.60 1019 C = elementary charge
All protons have charge +e.
1st measured by Millikan on oil drops.
Theory (standard model) : basic unit of charge (carried by quark) = 1/3 e.
Quark confinement  no free quark can be observed.
 Smallest observable charge is e.
Conservation of charge: total charge in a closed region is always the same.
20.2. Coulomb’s Law
“Insulators” can be charged by rubbing.
Examples:
Rubbed balloon sticks to clothing.
2 rubbed balloons repel each other.
Socks from dryer cling to clothings.
Bits of styrofoam cling to hand.
Walk across carpet & feel shock touching doorknob.
Ground or low energy state of matter tends to be charge neutral.

Force approach:
Charges interact at a distance (difficult to manage when many charges are present).
Fails when charge distributions are not known.
Field approach:
Charge interacts only with field at its position.
No need to know how field is generated.
