QUANTIZATION OF CHARGE Fundamental unit: elementary charge e q ne, n 1, 2, An electron carries a charge of e ; a proton carries a charge of +e It is typically the electrons that move between objects. Coulomb (C): one coulomb is the amount of charge that is transferred through the cross section of a wire in 1second when there is a current of 1 ampere in the wire. 19 19 e 1.602177 10 C 1.60 10 C 3,
CONDUCTORS AND INSULATORS Conductors: material in which electric charges can move around freely Metals, tap water, human body, Insulators: material in which electric charges are frozen in place Air, glass, plastic, Semi conductor: material in which electric charges can move around but not as freely as in conductors Silicon, germanium, Cu 10 29 / m 3 Ge 10 19 / m 3
CONSERVATION OF CHARGE The net electric charge is conserved in any physical process. But Charge can be transferred from one object to another. Zn() s 2 H ( aq) SO ( aq) 2 4 2 2 4 2 Zn SO ( aq) H ( g) Individual charges can also, in fact, be destroyed or created, but not net charges e ( annihilation) e ( pair production)
COULOMB S LAW Charges with the same sign repel each other, and charges with opposite signs attract each other. The electrostatic force between two particles is proportional to the amount of electric charge that each possesses and is inversely proportional to the distance between the two squared. r1,2 q 1 q 2 qq F k r 1,2 1 2ˆ 2 1,2 r1,2 Coulomb constant: k 1 4 0 by 1 on 2 8.99 10 9 N m 2 r / C where is called the permittivity constant. 2
