Basic Laws/ Facts
1. Charge is conserved.
2. The electric field produced by a charge distribution is given by Coulomb’s Law.
3. Magnetic monopole or charge does not exist, while electric monopole or charge does exist.
4. A changing magnetic field produces an electric field.
5. The magnetic field is related to the currents, and to changing electric fields.
6. Electric and magnetic fields produces forces on charges according to the Lorentz equation.
We will devote about Sixty Days to study the ramifications of these Six Wisdoms.

Electric Charge Quantization
e = 1.602 x 10-19 Coulomb Neutron: 0 Proton: +e Electron: -e Nproton: total number of proton; integer Nelectron: total number of electron; integer Charge of an object, q = Nproton *(+e) + Nelectron*(-e)
Dichotomy positive (+) & negative (-) Positively charged object: Nproton > Nelectron
Negatively charged object: Nproton < Nelectron
Uncharged/neutral object: Nproton = Nelectron
Conservation of Electric Charge Charge is NOT created nor destroyed Charge is only transferred from one object to another Fundamental law of nature (like conservation of energy)

Like charges repel…Opposite charges attract…
but…
Why do protons not repel each other in the nucleus?Why do electrons not collapse into the nucleus?
Classical Electromagnetism CANNOT explain the structure of the atom…Quantum Mechanics can…
Classical Electromagnetism only explains phenomena at scales greater than 10-10 meters.
Wait a minute!!! Contradictions?...
r ≈1 Angstrom≈10-10 meters

ChargingBasic ideas: Charge is conserved.Charging = add/remove charge to /from an object.Mechanically add or remove (rubbing an object with another charged object).Apply electric force (repel or attract) and allow the repelled charge to conduct to somewhere else.
Ground - a very large conductor that can supply an unlimited amount and kind of charge (e.g. earth).

Electric Force: Coulomb’s Law
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Coulomb.jpg
Charles-Augustin de Coulomb1736 – 1806
The electrostatic force, F, between two point electric charges, q1 and q2, is directly proportional to the product, *, of the magnitudes of each charge and inversely proportional to the square
of the distance, r, between the charges.
F = k q1 * q2 ř12
r212
= k (±N1 e) * (±N2 e) ř12
r212
k (proportionality constant) = 1 ≈ 9 x 109 Nm2/C2

εo (permittivity of free space) ≈ 8.85 x 10-12 C2/Nm2

Recall Newton’s Gravitational Law?
http://www.crystalinks.com/newton.jpg
Isaac Newton1642 – 1726
The electrostatic force, F, between two point masses, m1 and m2, is
directly proportional to the product, *, of the magnitudes of each charge and inversely proportional to the square
of the distance, r, between the masses.
F = G m1 * m2 ř12
r212
G (gravitational constant) = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm2/kg2

Electric Force: Coulomb’s Law20

Principle of Superposition
The net force is the vector sum of all the individual forces acting on a system.
…in other words…
Consider two (test charge + another charge) at a time.
Apply Coulomb’s Law on each pair (as if other charges are not there).
Sum these pair-by-pair forces by vector addition.

When a test charge, q0 = 5nC, is placed at a certain point, it experiences a force Fnet = 2 × 10−4 N in the x-direction. What is the electric field E at that point?
What is the force, Fnet, on an electron placed at a point where the electric field is E = (4 × 10+4 N/C)i? (e ≈ 1.6 x × 10-19 C)
E = Fnet / q0= [(2 × 10−4 N)i]/(5 × 10−9 C) = 4 × 104 N/C)i
Fnet = q0E = (1.6 × 10−19 C)(4 × 10+4 N)i = (6.4 × 10-15 N)i

Electric Field Lines
Electric field lines begin on positive charges (or at infinity) & end on negative charges (or at infinity).
The lines are drawn symmetrically entering or leaving an isolated charge.

Electric Field Lines
Number of lines leaving a positive charge or entering a negative charge is proportional to the charge magnitude.
Density of the lines (number of lines /unit area perpendicular to the lines) at any point is proportional to the magnitude of the field at that point.

Electric Field LinesAt large distances from a system of charges, the field lines are equally spaced & radial, as if they came from a single point charge equal to the net charge of the system.
Field lines do not cross. (If two field lines crossed, that would indicate two directions for the electric field at the point of intersection.)
