Interaction of point charges with continuous distributions. Conductors: charge distribution, electric field, electric potential Important example: capacitors

2 Exam 1 Logistics Exam time: Monday, September 29, 5:30-7PM Rooms: 2650 Humanities and 3650 Humanities 2650: 301,302,303,304, : 306,307,311,312,321,322,323,324,325,327,329,330 Bring: Pen/pencil Calculator (no programming functionality) 1 single-sided formula sheet, self-prepared (no photocopying)

3 Exam 1: Electrostatics Topics, Mechanics Topics: Coulomb Forces, Potential Energy Electric Field and Potential of Point Charges and Distributions Motion of charged particles in electric fields Electric field lines and equipotentials Conductors in electrostatic equilibrium Capacitance, Capacitors in circuits and dielectrics Mechanics -- not the main focus, but you should know: Kinematics of uniformly accelerated particles Newton s Laws: statics and dynamics Anything on homework is fair game for this midterm or the final exam (e.g. circular orbits, springs) Math -- you will not be expected to do nontrivial integrals. You should be able to do integrals which require simple substitutions.

4 Topics: Point Charges (I) 2 charges: force on q 2 by q 1 F 21 F = k q 1 q 2 21 r 2 r 12 F 12 Multiple charges, j : force on charge i F = i F = k q iq j ij j j r ji 2 r ji principle of linear superposition r ji ˆr 12 F 12 F 21 = vector from charge j to charge i

5 Electric Field: Electric Potential: Topics: Point Charges (II) Field concept: electric field and electric potential V = F = q E E = i E i q V i = k i i i r i = k i q i r i 2 ˆr i V B V A = Relation between force and field: ΔU = qδv B A r = vector from source to observation point E d l E = V

6 Gauss s Law Karl Friedrich Gauss Net electric flux through any closed surface ( Gaussian surface ) equals the total charge enclosed inside the closed surface divided by the permittivity of free space. electric flux q encl : all charges enclosed regardless of positions Gaussian Surface Φ E = Eid A = q encl ε 0 ε 0 : permittivity constant k = 1 4πε 0

7 Using Gauss Law Choose a closed (Gaussian) surface such that the surface integral is trivial. Use symmetry arguments: 1. Direction. Choose a Gaussian surface such that E is clearly either parallel or perpendicular to each piece of surface 2. Magnitude. Choose a surface such that E is known to have the same value at all points on the surface Then: EidA = EdA = E da = EA = q encl ε 0 Given q encl, can solve for E (at surface), and vice versa

8 Continuous Charge Distributions (I) Method 1: high degree of symmetry Use Gauss s Law to obtain E. Integrate to get V. E d A = q encl ε 0 V(r) = r ref E d r Examples: spherical symmetry, cylindrical symmetry, planar symmetry Conductors (surface charge density only) and insulators

9 Continuous Charge Distributions (II) 1. Direct calculation of E field: integrate to get V. d E = k dq r 2 ˆr E = d E 2. Direct calculation of V: take derivatives to get E. dv = k dq r V = Examples: uniformly charged ring, disk (on-axis), finite line charge. dv

10 Basic Symmetries Φ E = Eid A = q encl ε 0 Use it to obtain E field for highly symmetric charge distributions. spherical cylindrical planar (point charge, uniform sphere, spherical shell, ) (infinite uniform line of charge or cylinder ) (infinite uniform sheet of charge, ) Method: evaluate flux over carefully chosen Gaussian surface

11 Conductors and Capacitors (I) Main feature of conductors: Electrostatic equilibrium: E = 0 inside conductor E = σ ε 0 outside, perp to surface (only surface charges) equipotentials Application: Capacitors

12 Capacitors Definition: Q = CV Computing capacitance: Parallel plate (also know: spherical, coaxial) Capacitors in circuits: C = ε 0 A Charging/discharging Series and Parallel combinations d U = 1 2C Q2 = 1 2 CV 2 1 C S = i 1 C i C P = i C i

13 Capacitors: Summary Definition: C Q ΔV Capacitance depends on geometry: A d r +Q -Q a b L -Q +Q a b Parallel Plates C = ε o A d Cylindrical C = 2πε L o ln b a C has units of Farads or F (1F = 1C/V) ε o has units of F/m Spherical C = 4πε o ab b a

14 Dielectrics Empirical observation: Inserting a non-conducting material (dielectric) between the plates of a capacitor changes the VALUE of the capacitance. Definition: The dielectric constant κ of a material is the ratio of the capacitance when filled with the dielectric to that without it: κ = C C 0 permittivity: ε κε 0 κ values are always > 1 (e.g., glass = 5.6; water = 80) Dielectrics INCREASE the capacitance of a capacitor More energy can be stored on a capacitor at fixed voltage: E = E 0 κ U = CV 2 2 = κc 0 V 2 2 = κu
