About Charge

Charge is a fundamental quantity of nature and is a feature of
all matter because matter consists of electrons and protons.

1) Charge comes in two varieties: positive and negative
(arbitrary names)

Electrons are negative, protons are positive.

Neutral matter has approximately equal numbers of electrons and
protons
About Charge

2) Charge is quantized. The charge of one electron is
the smallest amount of charge you can have. All
charges are some multiple of 1.6 x 10-19 C.


Charge is measured in Coulombs and given the symbol Q or q.
3) Charge is conserved.

Charge is neither created nor destroyed

Touching two objects together instantly equilibrates and evenly
distributes their charges.
Coulomb’s Law

Two charges will exert a force on one another.

Opposite charges attract

Force is proportional to both charges and inversely proportional to the square of
the distance between the two charges.

Proportionality constant is k = 9.0 x 109 N m2/C2 (To make the units work)

k = 1/4𝝅𝝐o O = permittivity of vacuum = 8.85 x 10-12 C2/Nm2

A force just like any other. Added just like any other.
Electric Field Diagrams

Mechanism for how charges act over a
distance: Electric field.

Direction of electric field is in the same
direction as the force on a small
positive test charge q+

Strength indicated by arrow length

Direction: tail of field lines begin at +
and radiate outward.

Direction: Arrow heads point toward a –
charge and radiate inward.

Similar to gravitational field
Electric field formulas

F = qE

As a result, there is a formula of electric field based on Coulomb’s Law.

𝑬=𝒌

Can calculate electric field knowing the force and test charge or
the magnitude of the electric field present at a given distance from
an isolated charge.

Current

Moving charges within a medium creates a current.

Current is measured as a rate of transfer of charge per time.

Symbol: I

1) Positive charge moves in the opposite direction as electrons

2) A charge can move faster than actual matter can move.

3) The only thing that physically moves to transfer charge is the
electron. Positive charge is the absence of an electron.

Q = It
Unit: Ampere, A
1 A = 1 C/s
(SI base unit)
Electron Drift






So how fast do the electrons actually move? = Electron drift, v
Distance across a given segment of wire = vt
The volume of the cross section is the cross sectional area A times the
length or Avt
If there are n electrons in a given volume (#electrons/m3), the number
of electrons in the volume is nAvt
Q is created by n electrons, each with q charge, so Q = nqAvt
Current is the charge that passes in a given time I = Q/t
I = nqAvt/t

So I
= nqAv

v = electron drift speed and A is the cross sectional area of the wire
I = current,
n = number of e/m3
Electron Drift calculation

How fast are electrons moving in a copper wire with a diameter of
1.5 mm when a current of 0.350 A is applied?

Density of copper is 8.96 g/cm3. (Assume about 10 electrons per
copper atom are available for metallic bonding.)

Compare this to the speed of charge on the wire?
Electric Potential Energy

The electric force is a conservative force so there is a potential energy that
corresponds to the opposite of the work done by the conservative force.

The state for 0 electrical potential energy is if a test charge is infinitely far away from
an isolated positive charge.

As the charge moves closer to the charge, it is more and more repelled and the
electric force is doing negative work. The charge therefore is experiencing a positive
potential energy change.

Positive charges are at a high potential energy

The work done by the electric force is equal to r times the force or W= −𝒌

The potential energy is the U = 𝒌

Electric potential

The potential energy per unit charge is known as the electric
𝑸
potential or V = 𝒌
and is measured in volts.
𝒓
W = QV

1 V = 1 J/C

Electric potential is to electrical potential energy as height is to
gravitational potential energy. The test charge is akin to the mass.
Electric potential

Positive charges create a relative high potential state.

Negative charges create a relative low potential state.

Moving from a lower to a high potential is a positive voltage.

Just like height, the word potential can refer to both a fixed state
and a difference in states.

Wherever there is an electric field there will be a potential
difference.
The electron Volt (eV)

Because electrons are so small, the associated energies are very small,
much smaller than a J.

1 eV is the energy of one electron charge over 1 volt

1 eV = (1.6 x 10-19 C) (1 J/C)

1 eV = 1.6 x 10-19 J

If you get a very small amount of energy, convert to eV. Or you may be
given information in eV.
Exit slip and homework

Exit Slip – What is the electrostatic force (magnitude and direction)
between a positive charge of 1.3 x 10-3 C and a negative charge
of 6.2 x 10-3 C when they are separated by a distance of 15.0 cm?
