Pushing to be Better: Chapter 16 You Try Problems Chapter 16 Even Numbered Core Problems Chapter 16 Review Problems: 1, 6, 9, 10, 14, 17, 19, 20, 24, 31, 33, 36, 40, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48, 50, Standardized Test Prep Digging Deeper: Chapter 16 Review Problems: 2, 4, 15, 30, 37, 42, 46, 49, 52, 54, 55. Individual Inquiry Notes on Chapter 16 Equations: e = 1.6"10 #19 C This is the fundamental unit of charge. The charge on an electron is -e and the charge on a proton is +e. We never see objects that have a charge which is not a whole number multiple of this number. k = 9 "10 9 Nm 2 2 This is Coulomb s Constant. It is a fudge factor necessary to make C the next equation down give force units in Newtons when the charges are in Coulombs and the distance between the charges is in meters. F = kq 1q 2 r 2 This is the equation for the force between two charged particles. k is given above. q1 and q2 are the two charges, as measured in Coulombs. You should not think of r as a radius in these equations. You should think about it as the center to center distance between two charged particles. F = Eq This equation relates the concepts of Electric Field and Electric Force and charge. Sometimes we do not know where or how many charges there are that are causing an electric field. But, we can measure the electric field, and determine the force it would have on a charge. Physics Ch.16 Study Guide page 1 of 4

2 E = kq See above. If you take F = Eq and solve it for E you take the first equation r 2 and remove one of the q s. Physics Ch.16 Study Guide page 2 of 4

3 Worked Example #1: Four electric charges of +2.5 nc are placed at the corners of a square with a side length of 10cm. Calculate the electric force on one of the charges. Your Try: Three point charges each with a magnitude of -5.9 µc are placed at the corners of a 3cm-4cm-5cm right triangle. Calculate the electric force on the charge placed at the right-angle of this triangle. Physics Ch.16 Study Guide page 3 of 4
