Coulomb’s Law and Electric Field
Chapter 24: allChapter 25: all
2
Electric charge Able to attract other objects Two kinds
Positive – glass rod rubbed with silk Negative – plastic rod rubbed with fur
Like charges repel Opposite charge attract Charge is not created, it is merely
transferred from one material to another
3
Elementary particles Proton – positively charged Electron – negatively charged Neutron – no charge Nucleus – in center of atom,
contains protons and neutrons Quarks – fundamental particles –
make up protons and neutrons, have fractional charge
4
ions
Positive ions – have lost one or more electrons
Negative ions – have gained one or more electrons
Only electrons are lost or gained under normal conditions
5
Conservation of charge
The algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant.
6
Electrical interactions
Responsible for many things The forces that hold molecules and
crystals together Surface tension Adhesives Friction
7
Conductors
Permit the movement of charge through them
Electrons can move freely Most metals are good conductors
8
Insulators
Do not permit the movement of charge through them
Most nonmetals are good insulators
Electrons cannot move freely
9
Charging by induction
See pictures on pages 539-540
10
Coulomb’s Law Point charge – has essentially no
volume The electrical force between two
objects gets smaller as they get farther apart.
The electrical force between two objects gets larger as the amount of charge increases

Coulomb’s Law

r
qqkF
r is the distance between the charges q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the
charges k is a constant
8.99 x 109 N∙m2/C2
12
Coulombs
SI unit of charge, abbreviated C Defined in terms of current – we
will talk about this later
13
Coulomb’s law constant
k is defined in terms of the speed of light k = 10-7c
k = 1/4
0 is another constant that will be more useful later
0 = 8.85 x 10-12 C2/N∙m2

The coulomb
Very large amount of charge Charge on 6 x 1018 electrons Most charges we encounter are
between 10-9 and 10-6 C 1 C = 10-6 C
