1 Coulomb s law: For charges q 1 and q separated by a distance r, the magnitude of the electric force on either F = (1.) 1 ƒq 1 q ƒ 4pP 0 r charge is proportional to the product q 1 q and inversely proportional to r. The force on each charge is along the 1 line joining the two charges repulsive if q 1 and q have = * 10 9 N # m >C 4pP the same sign, attractive if they have opposite signs. In I 0 units the unit of electric charge is the coulomb, abbreviated C. (ee Examples 1.1 and 1..) When two or more charges each exert a force on a charge, the total force on that charge is the vector sum of the forces exerted by the individual charges. (ee Examples 1.3 and 1.4.) F on 1 q 1 q 1 F on 1 F 1 on q r r q F 1 on Electric field: Electric field E, a vector quantity, is the force per unit charge exerted on a test charge at any point. The electric field produced by a point charge is directed radially away from or toward the charge. (ee Examples ) E F 0 q 0 E 1 4pP 0 q r r N (1.3) (1.7) q E Electric dipoles: An electric dipole is a pair of electric charges of equal magnitude q but opposite sign, separated by a distance d. The electric dipole moment p has magnitude p = qd. The direction of p is from negative toward positive charge. An electric dipole in an electric field E experiences a torque T equal to the vector product of p and E. The magnitude of the torque depends on the angle f between p and E. The potential energy U for an electric dipole in an electric field also depends on the relative orientation of p and E.

2 Electric flux: Electric flux is a measure of the flow of electric field through a surface. It is equal to the product E = E cos f da L of an area element and the perpendicular component of E, integrated over a surface. (ee Examples.1.3.) = E da = E# da L L (.5) E f f A A A Gauss s law: Gauss s law states that the total electric flux through a closed surface, which can be written as the surface integral of the component of E normal to the surface, equals a constant times the total charge Q encl enclosed by the surface. Gauss s law is logically equivalent to Coulomb s law, but its use greatly simplifies problems with a high degree of symmetry. (ee Examples.4.10.) When excess charge is placed on a conductor and is at rest, it resides entirely on the surface, and E 0 everywhere in the material of the conductor. (ee Examples ) E = C E cos f da = C E da = C E # da = Q encl P 0 (.8), (.9) Outward normal to surface E f r R q E r da

3 Electric field of various symmetric charge distributions: The following table lists electric fields caused by several symmetric charge distributions. In the table, q, Q, l, and s refer to the magnitudes of the quantities.

4 Electric potential energy: The electric force caused by any collection of charges at rest is a conservative force. The work W done by the electric force on a charged particle moving in an electric field can be represented by the change in a potential-energy function U. The electric potential energy for two point charges q and q 0 depends on their separation r. The electric potential energy for a charge q 0 in the presence of a collection of charges q 1, q, q 3 depends on the distance from q 0 to each of these other charges. (ee Examples 3.1 and 3..) W ab = U a - U b 1 qq 0 U = 4pP 0 r (two point charges) (3.) (3.9) U = q 0 a q 1 + q + q 3 + 4pP 0 r 1 r r Á b 3 q 0 q i = (3.10) 4pP a 0 i r i ( q 0 in presence of other point charges) q 1 U 5 q q 1 q q 3 4pP 0 r 1 r r 3 q r 1 r q 3 r 3 q 0 Electric potential: Potential, denoted by V, is potential energy per unit charge. The potential difference between two points equals the amount of work that would be required to move a unit positive test charge between those points. The potential V due to a quantity of charge can be calculated by summing (if the charge is a collection of point charges) or by integrating (if the charge is a distribution). (ee Examples 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.7, 3.11, and 3.1.) The potential difference between two points a and b, also called the potential of a with respect to b, is given by the line integral of E. The potential at a given point can be found by first finding E and then carrying out this integral. (ee Examples 3.6, 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10.) V = U 1 q = (3.14) q 0 4pP 0 r (due to a point charge) V = U 1 q i = (3.15) q 0 4pP a 0 i r i (due to a collection of point charges) 1 dq V = (3.16) 4pP 0 L r (due to a charge distribution) b b V a - V b = E# d l = E cos f dl L a L a (3.17) q 1 V q 1 q q 3 4pP 0 r 1 r r 3 q r 1 r q 3 r 3 P

5 Finding electric field from electric potential: If the potential V is known as a function of the coordinates x, y, and x = - 0V 0x E y = - 0V 0y E z = - 0V 0z E z, the components of electric field E at any point are (3.19) given by partial derivatives of V.

Furthermore, for the force to be upward, q 1 must be positive and q must be negative. ET UP: ince we know the acceleration of Q, Newton s second law gives us the magnitude of the force on it.

EVALUATE: imple reasoning allows us first to conclude that q 1 and q must have equal magnitudes but opposite signs, which makes the equations much easier to set up than if we had tried to solve the problem in the general case.

EXECUTE: (i) charge on inner surface of the small shell: Apply Gauss s law to a spherical Gaussian surface with radius a< r < b. This surface lies within the conductor of the small shell, where E = 0, so Φ = 0. Thus by Gauss s law Q encl = 0, so there is zero charge on the inner surface of the small shell. E

12 (ii) charge on outer surface of the small shell: The total charge on the small shell is + q. We found in part (i) that there is zero charge on the inner surface of the shell, so all + q must reside on the outer surface. (iii) charge on inner surface of large shell: Apply Gauss s law to a spherical Gaussian surface with radius c< r < d. The surface lies within the conductor of the large shell, where E = 0, so Φ = 0. Thus by Gauss s law Q encl = 0. The surface encloses the + q on the small shell so there must be charge q on the inner surface of the large shell to make the total enclosed charge zero.

17 Capacitors and capacitance: Acapacitor is any pair of conductors separated by an insulating material. When the capacitor is charged, there are charges of equal magnitude Q and opposite sign on the two conductors, and the potential V ab of the positively charged conductor with respect to the negatively charged conductor is proportional to Q. The capacitance C is defined as the ratio of Q to V ab. The I unit of capacitance is the farad (F): 1 F = 1 C>V. Aparallel-plate capacitor consists of two parallel conducting plates, each with area A, separated by a distance d. If they are separated by vacuum, the capacitance depends only on A and d. For other geometries, the capacitance can be found by using the definition C = Q>V ab. (ee Examples ) C = Q V ab C = Q V ab =P 0 A d (4.1) (4.) 1Q Q Wire Plate a, area A d Potential Wire Plate b, area A difference 5 V ab Capacitors in series and parallel: When capacitors with capacitances C 1, C, C 3, Á are connected in series, the reciprocal of the equivalent capacitance C eq equals the sum of the reciprocals of the individual capacitances. When capacitors are connected in parallel, the equivalent capacitance C eq equals the sum of the individual capacitances. (ee Examples 4.5 and 4.6.) 1 = Á C eq C 1 C C 3 (capacitors in series) C eq = C 1 + C + C 3 + Á (capacitors in parallel) (4.5) (4.7) a 1Q Q 1Q Q C 1 V ab 5 V c b a C V ac 5 V 1 V cb 5 V V ab 5 V C 1 Q 1 C Q b

18 Energy in a capacitor: The energy U required to charge a capacitor C to a potential difference V and a charge Q is equal to the energy stored in the capacitor. This energy can be thought of as residing in the electric field between the conductors; the energy density u (energy per unit volume) is proportional to the square of the electric-field magnitude. (ee Examples ) U = Q C = 1 CV = 1 QV u = 1 P 0 E (4.9) (4.11) 1Q V E Q + Dielectrics: When the space between the conductors is A C = KC 0 = KP 0 filled with a dielectric material, the capacitance d =PA d increases by a factor K, called the dielectric constant (parallel-plate capacitor of the material. The quantity P=KP 0 is called the permittivity of the dielectric. For a fixed amount of charge filled with dielectric) (4.19) on the capacitor plates, induced charges on the surface of the dielectric decrease the electric field and potential u = 1 KP 0 E = 1 PE (4.0) difference between the plates by the same factor K. The surface charge results from polarization, a microscopic Q # encl-free (4.3) rearrangement of charge in the dielectric. (ee Example C KE da = P ) Under sufficiently strong fields, dielectrics become conductors, a situation called dielectric breakdown. The maximum field that a material can withstand without breakdown is called its dielectric strength. In a dielectric, the expression for the energy density is the same as in vacuum but with P 0 replaced by P=KP. (ee Example 4.11.) Gauss s law in a dielectric has almost the same form as in vacuum, with two key differences: E is replaced by KE and Q encl is replaced by Q encl-free, which includes only the free charge (not bound charge) enclosed by the Gaussian surface.

Half of the space between these plates Plexiglas Air contains only air, but the other half is filled with Plexiglas of dielectric constant 3.40 (Fig. P4.7). An 18.0-V battery is connected across the plates. (a) What is the capacitance of this combination? (Hint: Can you think of this capacitor as equivalent to two capacitors in parallel?) (b) How much energy is stored in the capacitor? (c) If we remove the Plexiglas but change nothing else, how much energy will be stored in the capacitor?

For a parallel-plate A capacitor with dielectric filling the volume between the plates, C = K 0. For two capacitors in parallel, d C = C 1 + C. The energy stored in a capacitor is 1 U = CV. EXECUTE: (a) C = C 1 + C. C 1 A ( F/m)(0. 10 m)( m) 11 = = = F. d m C1= KC = (3. 40)( F) = F. C = C1+ C = F= 65. pf (b) U 1 CV 1 = = ( F)(18. 0 V) = J (c) Now C1= C and C = ( F) = F.

24 Current and current density: Current is the amount of charge flowing through a specified area, per unit time. The I unit of current is the ampere 11 A = 1 C>s. The current I through an area A depends on the concentration n and charge q of the charge carriers, as well as on the magnitude of their drift velocity v d. The current density is current per unit cross-sectional area. Current is usually described in terms of a flow of positive charge, even when the charges are actually negative or of both signs. (ee Example 5.1.) I = dq dt J nqvd = nƒqƒv d A (5.) (5.4) v d v d I v d v d v d v d E Resistivity: The resistivity r of a material is the ratio of the magnitudes of electric field and current density. Good conductors have small resistivity; good insulators have large resistivity. Ohm s law, obeyed approximately by many materials, states that r is a constant independent of the value of E. Resistivity usually increases with temperature; for small temperature changes this variation is represented approximately by Eq. (5.6), where a is the temperature coefficient of resistivity. r = E J r1t = r a1t - T 0 4 (5.5) (5.6) r 0 r O T 0 Metal: r increases with increasing T. lope 5 r 0 a T Resistors: The potential difference V across a sample of material that obeys Ohm s law is proportional to the current I through the sample. The ratio V>I = R is the resistance of the sample. The I unit of resistance is the ohm 11 Æ=1 V>A. The resistance of a cylindrical conductor is related to its resistivity r, length L, and cross-sectional area A. (ee Examples 5. and 5.3.) V = IR R = rl A (5.11) (5.10) Higher potential A I E L J V Lower potential I

25 > 1 > Circuits and emf: Acomplete circuit has a continuous current-carrying path. A complete circuit carrying a steady current must contain a source of electromotive force (emf) E. The I unit of electromotive force is the volt (1 V). Every real source of emf has some internal resistance r, so its terminal potential difference V ab depends on current. (ee Examples ) V ab = E - Ir (5.15) (source with internal resistance) I V ab 5 V a b V a + b r 5 V, E 5 1 V A a R 5 4 V b I Energy and power in circuits: Acircuit element with a potential difference V a - V b = V ab and a current I puts energy into a circuit if the current direction is from P = V ab I (general circuit element) (5.17) lower to higher potential in the device, and it takes P = V energy out of the circuit if the current is opposite. The ab I = I R = V ab R (5.18) power P equals the product of the potential difference (power into a resistor) and the current. A resistor always takes electrical energy out of a circuit. (ee Examples ) I V a a Circuit element V b b I Conduction in metals: The microscopic basis of conduction in metals is the motion of electrons that move freely through the metallic crystal, bumping into ion cores in the crystal. In a crude classical model of this motion, the resistivity of the material can be related to the electron mass, charge, speed of random motion, density, and mean free time between collisions. (ee Example 5.11.) E Net displacement

26 Resistors in series and parallel: When several resistors R 1, R, R 3, Á are connected in series, the equivalent resistance R eq is the sum of the individual resistances. The same current flows through all the resistors in a series connection. When several resistors are connected in parallel, the reciprocal of the equivalent resistance R eq is the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances. All resistors in a parallel connection have the same potential difference between their terminals. (ee Examples 6.1 and 6..) R eq = R 1 + R + R 3 + Á (resistors in series) 1 = R eq R 1 R R Á 3 (resistors in parallel) (6.1) (6.) Resistors in series a R 1 x R y R 3 b I Resistors in parallel a I R 1 R R 3 b I I Kirchhoff s rules: Kirchhoff s junction rule is based on conservation of charge. It states that the algebraic sum of the currents into any junction must be zero. Kirchhoff s loop rule is based on conservation of energy and the conservative nature of electrostatic fields. It states that the algebraic sum of potential differences around any loop must be zero. Careful use of consistent sign rules is essential in applying Kirchhoff s rules. (ee Examples ) a I = 0 a V = 0 (junction rule) (6.5) (loop rule) (6.6) At any junction: I E Loop I 1 Loop 1 + E Junction Loop 3 Around any loop: V 5 0 I I 1 1 I R A B

27 R-C circuits: When a capacitor is charged by a battery in series with a resistor, the current and capacitor charge are not constant. The charge approaches its final value asymptotically and the current approaches zero asymptotically. The charge and current in the circuit are given by Eqs. (6.1) and (6.13). After a time t = RC, the charge has approached within 1>e of its final value. This time is called the time constant or relaxation time of the circuit. When the capacitor discharges, the charge and current are given as functions of time by Eqs. (6.16) and (6.17). The time constant is the same for charging and discharging. (ee Examples 6.1 and 6.13.) Capacitor charging: q = CEA1 - e -t/rc B = Q f A1 - e -t/rc B i = dq = E dt R e-t/rc = I 0 e -t/rc Capacitor discharging: q = Q 0 e -t/rc i = dq = - Q 0 dt = I 0 e -t/rc RC e-t/rc (6.1) (6.13) (6.16) (6.17) i, q O + E i R 1q i q C q versus t i versus t t
