Continuous Chge Distibutions Review Wht if we hve distibution of chge? ˆ Q chge of distibution. Q dq element of chge. d contibution to due to dq. Cn wite dq = ρ dv; ρ is the chge density. = 1 4πε 0 qi 1 dq ˆ i ˆ = 2 2 4πε i i 0 V dq 1 4πε 0 V dv P d ρdv 2 ˆ 1. Cn use clculus to detemine electic fields fo few specil chge distibutions. 2. Method impotnt. Know how to do. 3. Fo most poblems, we cnnot solve them nlyticlly, but we cn solve using compute methods.

lectic Dipoles A dipole in nonunifom electic field will expeience foce. Micowve ovens: dipole moment of wte used to cook food. Micowve fequency t ntul fequency of vibtion of wte. Molecules esonte with the pidly oscillting electic field nd bsob lge mount of enegy. The K of the excited molecules is conveted to theml enegy by collisions of the molecules. Non pol molecules: no pemnent dipole moment, but n electic field cn cuse n induced dipole moment by cusing chge seption. Molecules e polized.
