Choice of System
Multiparticle systems: Split into objects to include into system and objects to be considered as external.
To use field concept instead of Coulomb’s law we split the Universe into two parts:
• the charges that are the sources of the field
• the charge that is affected by that field
![Page 10: Electric Field Point charge: Dipole: for r>>s : at +q -q s x y z at Dipole moment: p = qs Uniformly charged sphere: for r>R (outside) for r](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551a926a5503466b3a8b4fcf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Convenience: know E at some location – know the electric force on any charge:
Example: if E > 3106 N/C air becomes a conductor• Retardation
Nothing can move faster than light cc = 300,000 km/s = 30 cm/ns
• Electric properties of matter– independent of how this field was produced.
Coulomb’s law is not completely correct – it does not contain time t nor speed of light c.

Matter and Electric Fields
![Page 12: Electric Field Point charge: Dipole: for r>>s : at +q -q s x y z at Dipole moment: p = qs Uniformly charged sphere: for r>R (outside) for r](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551a926a5503466b3a8b4fcf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Matter is made out of atoms.
Atom contains charged particles: electrons (-e), protons (+e)Neutral atom: number of electrons and protons is equal:
Example: Hydrogen atom: 1 proton, 1 electron net charge = (+e) + (-e)=0
Sodium atom: 11 protons, 11 electrons
Sodium atom (Na) can lose an electron: Sodium ion (Na+): (+11e) + (-10e) = +e
Ordinary matter is electrically neutral.However, can be charged by adding/removing charged particles
Net Charge
![Page 13: Electric Field Point charge: Dipole: for r>>s : at +q -q s x y z at Dipole moment: p = qs Uniformly charged sphere: for r>R (outside) for r](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551a926a5503466b3a8b4fcf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The net charge of a system and its surroundings cannot change
If one object gets charged positively, there must be an object which gets charged negatively.
Conservation of Charge
The net electric charge is conserved in any physical process.
Charge can be transferred from one object to another.
Pair-Production:
![Page 14: Electric Field Point charge: Dipole: for r>>s : at +q -q s x y z at Dipole moment: p = qs Uniformly charged sphere: for r>R (outside) for r](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551a926a5503466b3a8b4fcf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
10-10 m (1 Å)
Nucleus, ~10-15 m
Charge of electron cloud equals that of nucleus neutral atom.
If the electron cloud is centered on the nucleus electric field produced by electrons exactly cancels the field produced by nucleus.

+E
Force due to E created by positive charge shifts electron cloud and nucleus in opposite directions: electric dipole.
An atom is said to be polarized when its electron cloud has been shifted by the influence of an external charge so that the electron cloud is not centered on the nucleus.

• it is not a permanent dipole
E
• an induced dipole is created when a neutral object is polarized by an applied electric field
An applied electric field creates induced dipoles!
Induced Dipole
![Page 17: Electric Field Point charge: Dipole: for r>>s : at +q -q s x y z at Dipole moment: p = qs Uniformly charged sphere: for r>R (outside) for r](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551a926a5503466b3a8b4fcf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Polarization
Amount of polarization p in most materials is proportional to the magnitude of the applied electric field:
- “polarizability” of a material
In an induced dipole, is the distance between the charges fixed?The distance is proportional to the strength of the applied field.

The field appears to be weaker in presence of intervening (polarizable) object. Both tapes are attracted to paperSuperposition principle: the presence of matter does not affect the electric field produced by a charged object.
Intervening matter does not “block” the E field
The resulting field is a superposition of two fields: Field of the other charge plus the field of induced dipoles.
