2 Circuits With Capacitors C Q = C V V = Q C + V R C, Q Kirchhoff s Loop Rule: V I R V = V I R Q C = But if I then Q will increase or decrease. Q is a function of time.

3 Charge on a Capacitor The net charge on a capacitor is the sum of all charges that have been collected on the plates: Q t = Q + I t dt Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: dq dt = I(t) In circuits with capacitors, we need to specify the initial conditions. t

4 RC Circuits When t <, the switch is open. The capacitor has an initial charge Q as indicated. How will Q change with time after the switch is closed at t =? R C +Q Q

5 Lecture 12-5 Discharging a Capacitor in RC Circuits 1. Switch closed at t=. Initially C is fully charged with Q 2. Loop Rule: Q C IR 3. Convert to a differential equation dq Q dq I R dt C dt 4. Solve it! I Q Q e t/ RC dq Q I dt RC e t/ RC

6 Time Constant The quantity τ = RC is called the time constant. Units: R C = V A C V = C C/s = s It is the characteristic time needed to charge or discharge the circuit. Larger τ means it charges or discharges more slowly.

9 RC Circuits Kirchhoff s Loop Rule: I(t) R Q t C = Differentiate R di dt + 1 I t C = di dt = I(t) RC This is a differential equation R I(t) C +Q Q This reminds you that I is not constant it is a function of t.

10 RC Circuits How to solve di = I(t)? dt RC Solve by integration: 1 di I(t) dt = 1 RC t di I = 1 RC log t dt I(t) I R = t RC I(t) C +Q Q

11 RC Circuits log I(t) I = t RC Exponentiate both sides: I t = I e t/rc As with all first order differential equations, we have one constant of integration (I ) that must be determined from the initial conditions. R I(t) C +Q Q

12 RC Circuits I R Q C = I = Q RC Complete solution: R C +Q I(t) I t = Q RC e t/rc The negative sign means the current flows opposite the direction we assumed for the arrow. Q

13 RC Circuits Reverse the arrow: I t = Q RC e t/rc This makes sense because current will flow in the direction of decreasing electric potential. I I =.368 I I(t) t = RC R t I(t) C +Q Q The capacitor initially acts like a voltage source but eventually acts like an open circuit.

14 Charging a Capacitor + V R C V Suppose the capacitor is initially uncharged when the switch is open. The switch is closed at time t =. What is the potential difference across the capacitor as a function of time?

15 Lecture 12-5 Charging a Capacitor in RC Circuits 1. Switch closed at t= C initially uncharged, thus zero voltage across C. I R / 2. Loop Rule: Q IR C 3. Convert to a differential equation dq dq Q I R dt dt C 4. Solve it! 1 dq QC e, I e dt R t / RC t/ RC (τ=rc is the time constant again)

18 Charging a Capacitor + V R I(t) C + V Kirchhoff s Loop Rule: V I t R Q C = Differentiate: R di dt + I(t) C = Same as before

19 Charging a Capacitor + V R I(t) C + V General solution: I t = I e t/rc What s different this time? The initial condition... At t =, the capacitor is uncharged so V = and the initial current is I = V/R.

20 Charging a Capacitor + V R I(t) C + V Solution for the current: I t = V R e t/rc But what is V? Use Kirchhoff s Loop Rule: V I t R V = V t = V I t R = V 1 e t/rc

21 Charging a Capacitor + V R I(t) C + V V V =.632 V V(t) t = RC V(t) = V 1 e t/rc The capacitor initially acts like a short circuit (zero resistance) but eventually acts like an open circuit (infinite resistance).

23 Lecture 12-4 Behavior of Capacitors Charging Initially, the capacitor behaves like a wire. After a long time, the capacitor behaves like an open switch. Discharging Initially, the capacitor behaves like a battery. After a long time, the capacitor behaves like an open switch

24 Lecture 12-1 Capacitor in RC Circuits I I ε charging discharging Switch closed at t=. C initially uncharged, thus V = across C and I = ε/r initially. After a long time, C is fully charged and V C = ε across C and I =. Q Q f (1 e t / RC ) Switch closed at t=. C initially charged, thus V = Q /C across C and I = V /R initially.

28 Magnetism Bar magnets always two opposite poles Like poles repel, unlike poles attract We can describe the magnetic field the same way we talked about electric fields. N S S N S N N N S S

29 Lecture Demo - Magnetic Field Lines The magnetic field lines from a permanent bar magnet are shown below Two dimensional computer calculation Three dimensional real-life

30 Lecture Magnetic Field and Magnetic Field Lines Bar magnet... two poles: N and S Like poles repel; Unlike poles attract. Magnetic Field lines: (defined from the direction and density of B similar to the electric field lines are from E) From North to South outside electric dipole

31 Magnetic Monopoles Can you cut the end off a magnet to get just the North or South poles? S N S N S N Most elementary particles behave like little bar magnets: they have a north end and a south end. Although they are point-like we can still talk about which way their magnetic field is pointing In principle, a fundamental particle with a magnetic charge could exist, but we haven t found any evidence that they do.

32 Lecture Magnetic Field B and Magnetic Force Magnetic force acting on a moving charge q depends on q, v. Vary q and v in the presence of a given magnetic field and measure magnetic force F on the charge We find: F F v qv F qvb This defines B. direction by Right Hand Rule. B is a vector field F v, B F qvbsin (q>) B F N N q v Cm/ s Am T ( tesla) 1 T = 1 4 gauss (earth magnetic field at surface is about.5 gauss)

33 Lecture Magnetic Force on a Current Consider a current-carrying wire in the presence of a magnetic field B. There will be a force on each of the charges moving in the wire. What will be the total force df on a length dl of the wire? Suppose current is made up of n charges/volume each carrying charge q and moving with velocity v through a wire of cross-section A. A Force on each charge = qv B Total force = Current = df n A( dl) qv B I n Avq df Idl B For a straight length of wire L carrying a current I, the force on it is: F ILB

34 Earth s Magnetic Field The orientation of the earth s magnetic dipole is not constant: From 194 to 1984 it moved 75 km (9.4 km/year) The rate of change is also not constant: From 1973 to 1984 it moved 12 km (11.6 km/year)

35 Earth s Magnetic Field By convention, the N end of a bar magnet is what points at the Earth s North Geographic Pole. Since opposite poles attract (analogous to opposite electric charges), the North Geomagnetic Pole is in fact a magnetic SOUTH pole, by convention. Confusing, but it s just a convention. Just remember that we define N for bar magnets as pointing to geographic North. 2/21/216 27
