Force Between Charge Plates Consier two charge plates carrying charge per unit areas of an, respectively Nee to fin the total force on the right plate eerte by the left plate (which is also equal an opposite to the force on the left plate eerte by the right plate) area A 0 Step (1): Fin the Efiel at the location of the right plate prouce by the left plate ASSUMNG THE RGHT PLATE AS NOT THERE: E ( ) no right plate ε Step (): Multiply the Efiel calculate above by the total charge on the right plate to get the esire force F L R ( A ) E ( ) ECE 303 Fall 007 Farhan Rana Cornell University o no right plate A ε o Potential Energy an Force The force on a charge q in an Efiel is: E F qe q The potential energy of a charge in the Efiel is: U q φ ( ) qe So the force on the charge can also be written as: F U Electric force is the erivative of potential energy This formula is much more general than it appears (see the net few slies..)

Energy, Force, an ork in Electromagnetics Lets generalize the relationship between energy an force Suppose one has a CLOSED electromagnetic system with electromagnetic energy U f the system oes some mechanical work F then its electromagnetic energy must ecrease by the same amount: U F or U F Here F is some force that results in the change of some system length parameter by ECE 303 Fall 007 Farhan Rana Cornell University Now lets use the energy concepts to calculate the same force Total electric energy store in the fiel can be calculate as follows: r r ε E E U o. εo ( A ) εo Force Between Charge Plates The force between the plates can move the plates thereby oing work that woul result in a change of the value of F εo A A o ε ε o area A The negative sign inicates the force is in the irection of ecreasing i.e. the force between the plates is attractive 0 ECE 303 Fall 007 Farhan Rana Cornell University 3
Force Between Charge Metal Plates area A Now consier the force between the charge metal plates of a parallel plate capacitor connecte to a voltage source hat is the force between the plates in terms of the applie voltage? Answer shoul be the same as before: A F ε o 1 C φ φ 0 But now when you use the previous formula you will get the wrong sign: 1 C F hat went wrong? 1 C ( ) E Q C C ε o A 1 U C ε o The presence of a voltage source means you on t have a close system anymore ECE 303 Fall 007 Farhan Rana Cornell University area A Force Between Charge Metal Plates φ φ 0 f the system tries to o work by bringing the plates closer or pushing them further apart, the voltage source ensures that the charge Q in the capacitor always satisfies the relation: QC ( ) E Q C C ε o A 1 U C ε o The voltage source ensures that Q is always equal to C by bringing in or removing charge from the capacitor while the mechanical work is being performe This work one by the voltage source in bringing in or removing charges must also be inclue in the analysis ECE 303 Fall 007 Farhan Rana Cornell University 4
Energy, Force, an ork in Electromagnetics oltage Sources Lets further generalize the relationship between energy an force by incluing voltage sources Suppose one has an electromagnetic system with electromagnetic energy U that is connecte to a FXED voltage source f the system performs mechanical work F then its electromagnetic energy U must ecrease by the same amount f the voltage source passes a current in time t then it oes work an the system electromagnetic energy U must also increase by the same amount So instea of: e write: U F U F t But if Q is the total charge that passe in time t then: U F Q Q t F Assuming voltage is hel fie ECE 303 Fall 007 Farhan Rana Cornell University Energy, Force, an ork in Electromagnetics oltage Sources More generally the total ifferential of energy U can be written as: U But we ha: Q fie U F Q fie Q Q Therefore, it must be that: F an Q fie Q fie But if the thing that is kept fie is the voltage then we alreay have the result: F fie ECE 303 Fall 007 Farhan Rana Cornell University 5
