Chapter One: Electric Charges and Fields
- Electrostatics involves the study of forces, fields, and potentials arising from static charges.
- Rubbing objects together can cause electric discharge due to accumulated charges.
- Unlike charges neutralize each other's effects, leading to the terms positive and negative charges, coined by Benjamin Franklin.
- A charged object is considered electrified, while an object with no charge is electrically neutral.
- A gold-leaf electroscope detects charge; divergence indicates the amount of charge.
- Materials are normally electrically neutral because their charges are balanced.
- Electric force underlies molecular bonds, adhesive forces, and surface tension.
Electric Field
- A charge Q produces an electric field in the surrounding space.
- The electric field produced by charge Q at point r is E(r) = (1 / 4πε₀) (Q / r²) r̂, where r̂ is the unit vector from the origin to point r.
- The force F exerted by charge Q on charge q is F = (1 / 4πε₀) (Qq / r²) r̂.
- The force F experienced by a charge q at position r in an electric field E is given by F(r) = qE(r).
- The SI unit of electric field is N/C (Newton per Coulomb).
- The electric field E at r due to a system of charges is the vector sum of the electric fields due to individual charges: E(r) = E₁(r) + E₂(r) + ... + Eₙ(r).
Physical Significance of Electric Field
- The electric field is a way of characterizing the electrical environment of a system of charges.
- The electric field at a point indicates the force a unit positive test charge would experience if placed there.
- Electric field is a characteristic of a system of charges, independent of the test charge used to measure it.
- The term "field" refers to a quantity defined at every point in space, that may vary from point to point.
- Electric field is a vector field.
- Accelerated motion of charge q1 produces electromagnetic waves that propagate at the speed of light (c) and exert a force on q2 after a time delay.
