Individual Inquiry Notes on Chapter 17 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. $ 0 = 8.85 "10 #12 C 2 2 This is the permittivity in a vacuum, a needlessly complicated N "m name. Like Coulomb s Constant it s a fudge factor to make the units line up correctly. Units can get pretty tricky and unintuitive in Electricity and Magnetism. PE electric = q%v This is the equation for the Electric Potential Energy of a point charge (q) moving some change in voltage, %V. Physics Ch.17 Study Guide page 1 of 5
"V = #Ed This equation is only valid for uniform electric fields. The voltage between two points in a uniform electric field is equal to the strength of the field times the distance between the two points. Here it is important to note that d is only the distance parallel to the electric field. It takes no energy to move a charge perpendicular to an electric field. V = kq This is the voltage of a point that is a distance (r) away from a point charge (q). r Typically, what we really want to know is the change in the Voltage. So, you have to find the voltage at two different points and take the difference. C = $ 0A d A capacitor is generally two metal plates that each have an area (A) and are separated by a distance (d). C is the Capacitance of the capacitor, or, in simpler terms, a measure of how big the capacitor is. $ 0 is described above. C = Q V The capacitance of a capacitor (C) is also equal to the charge (Q) on the capacitor divided by the voltage (V) across the capacitor. PE capacitor = 1 2 QV The potential energy on a capacitor is one-half of the charge (Q) on the capacitor times the voltage (V) across the capacitor. I = "Q Electric Current (I) is measured in Coulombs per second. So, it is the charge "t flowing through a wire (Q, measured in Coulombs) divided by the time (t) measured in seconds. R = "V The resistance of an object (R) is measured in Ohms (%) and is equal to the I Voltage across the object (V) divided by the current through the object (I). P = IV The power in an electric circuit (P, measured in Watts (W)). Is equal to the Current in the circuit (I, measured in Amps (A)) times the Voltage (V). Physics Ch.17 Study Guide page 2 of 5
Note on Units: E, electric field, is measured in Newton s per Coulomb (N/C). V, voltage or potential difference is measured in Volts (V). PE, Potential Energy is just energy, it s measured in Joules (J). q or Q, electric charge, measured in Coulombs (C). d, distance is measured in meters. A, area is measured in square meters. C, Capacitance, is measured in Farads (F). I, electric current, is measured in Amperes, also knows as Amps, (A). R, electric resistance is measured in Ohms ("). P, power, as always is measured in Watts (W). Physics Ch.17 Study Guide page 3 of 5
