News Charge and Potential Quiz #2: Monday, 3/14, 10AM Same procedure as for quiz 1 Review in class Fri, 3/11 Evening review, Fri, 3/11, 68PM 2 practice quizzes ( practice problems) Formula sheet R Charged Sphere V=1/(4! " 0 R) Q Geometry! Parallel Plate Capacitor d V= d/(a " 0 ) Q Demo: Charge Density Application: Lightning rod Biggest E near pointy tip! Local radius of curvature Charge and Potential For given geometry, Potential and Charge are proportional Define Q = C V > C is Capacitance Measured in [F] = [C/V] : Farad C tells us, how easy it is to store charge on it (V = Q/C )
Q Q2 Q1 Capacitance slope = C C big C small Capacitor Def: Two conductors separated by insulator Charging capacitor: take charge from one of the conductors and put on the other separate and charges V0 V C bigger > Can store more Charge! Parallel Plate Capacitor Energy stored in Capacitor Q d Q Work W = 1/2 Q 2 /C = 1/2 C V 2 needed to charge capacitor Energy conserved But power can be amplified To store lots of charge Charge slowly make A big Discharge very quickly make d small web.mit.edu/8.02x/www
Demo (Loud...) Where is the energy stored? C = 100µF V ab = 4000 V U = 800 J thin wire Energy is stored in Electric Field E 2 gives Energy Density: U/Volume =! e 0 E 2 Q Q d Dielectrics Dielectric Demo Parallel Plate Capacitor: C = "0 A/d Ex. A = 1m 2, d=0.1mm > C ~ 0.1µF How can one get small capacitors with big capacity? n your toolbox: 2 cm C = 1000µF Q Q Start w/ charged capacitor d big > C small > V large nsert Glass plate Now V much smaller C bigger But A and d unchanged! Glass is a Dielectric
Microscopic view Dielectric Constant Polarization Q P = const. E = "0 # E Q Dielectric reduces field E 0 (K > 1) E = 1/K E0 Dielectric increases Capacitance C = Q/V = Q/(E d) = K Q/(E0d) This is how to make small capacitors with large C! Electric Current We left Electrostatics Now: Charges can move in steady state Electric Current : = dq/dt Net amount of charge moving through conductor per unit time Units: [] = C/s = A (Ampere) Electric Current Current = dq/dt has a direction Convention: Direction of flow of positive charges n our circuits, carried by electrons To get a current: Need mobile charges Need E > 0 (Potential difference)

Resistivity nterplay of scattering and acceleration gives an average velocity v D vd is called Drift velocity How fast do the electrons move? Thermal speed is big: v th ~ 10 6 m/s Drift velocity is small: v D ~ 10 3 m/s All electrons in conductor start to move, as soon as E> 0 Resistance Define R = V/ : Resistance R = $ L /A for constant cross section A R is measured in Ohm [%] = [V/A] Resistivity $ is property of material (e.g. glass) Resistance R is property of specific conductor, depending on material ($) and geometry Ohm s law V = R Conductor is Ohmic, if R does not depend on V, For real conductors, that is only approximately true (e.g. R = R(T) and T = T()) Approximation valid for resistors in circuits not valid for e.g. light bulbs Electric Power Use moving charges to deliver power Power = Energy/time = dwdt = (dq V)/dt = dq/dt V = V = 2 R = V 2 /R
