About bicycle riding: If some one shows
you a trick, it means that,
It is possible to do that trick
The person who showed you, can do the trick
It does not mean that you can do the trick.
Try it a lot of times and you can too.

Coulomb’s law:
Two kinds of charges,
positive and negative,
unlike attract, like repel.
Electrons and Protons:
q = ± 1.602 x 10-19 C
Current I = dq/dt
1 Amp. = 1 C/s
Add forces as vectors

A rule
Try to calculate the force magnitude by ignoring
the signs of charges. Then assign the
direction by looking at the signs.
Never do both (using the charge signs in the
calculation of the force and then assign the
direction).

Charges are
introduced
by rubbing (depends)
Touching (same)
By induction
(opposite)
PHY 2049: Physics II
Balls are touched and then separated. Rank
them by
Charge left

Force on the
center charge

q1 = q4 = Q; q2 = q3 = q
what is Q/q so that the
force on 1 is zero
All charges same sign.
There is no solution.
Q and q different sign.
There is a possible
solution.
Is the answer the same if
the force on 3 is to be
zero

What is the force on
the central chlorine
ion?
Suppose that we put
in an electron that
sits on a cesium site
and neutralizes it,
which way does the
Chlorine move?

Electric Field
Force F = qE
E = k ∑ rˆ qi/ri2
•Electric field lines denote direction
•Their density represents magnitude
•They do not cross
