Study Notes
Physics Part 2, Electric Fields and Magnetism
- The lecture covers electrostatics, electrodynamics, and magnetism
Electrostatics
- Electric charge is a fundamental quantity in physics, measured in Coulombs (C).
- The charge is a physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed into an electromagnetic field.
- Electric charges are conserved and quantized.
- Protons have a positive charge
- Electrons have a negative charge
- Neutrons have a neutral charge
- There are two types of electric charges in nature: positive (+) and negative (-).
- Like charges repel each other.
- Opposite charges attract each other.
- Charges are either conserved or quantized.
- Quark Theory explains nature of charges using constituent elementary particles
- The number of electrons and protons stay the same when charging something.
- Electrons simply move from one atom to another, which creates areas that have different charges.
Conductors, Insulators and Semiconductors
- Conductors are materials that allow charges to flow readily, e.g., metals.
- Insulators are materials that resist the flow of charges.
- Semiconductors have resistivity in between conductors and insulators, e.g., germanium, silicon, selenium, and carbon.
- Conductors do not have a forbidden gap
- The valence and conduction bands overlap in conductors
- Electrons from the valence band freely enter the conduction band due to overlapping bands.
- Insulators have very large forbidden gaps, generally more than 3eV
- Semiconductors have small forbidden gaps.
- At Ok conduction bands are empty and the valance band is filled.
- The conductivity of a semiconductor is in the order of 102mho m-1
Coulomb's Law
- The magnitude of the electrostatic force (FE) between charges is directly proportional to the radial distance (r) between the two charges (q1 and q2) and inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between them.
- Two laws vary inversely as the square of the distance between charges or masses.
- Gravitational force is weaker, and only an attractive force
- Coulomb force is both repulsive and attractive.
Electric Field
- Protons and electrons are surrounded by an electric field, which is a vector quantity.
- Electric fields originate from protons and terminate on electrons.
- Electric fields are created by electric charges and repel when they are of the same charge
- Electric fields are a region in which a charge experiences a force
- It's direction depends on the particle's charge
Representing Electric Fields
- Electric Fields can be represented with electric field lines
- The lines indicate 2 things about the field: Direction, from the direction of the field lines Strength, proximity of the field lines to each other
- A uniform electric field has the same strength at all points.
Formula
- Magnitude is described by the formula: E=F/qo
- Direction is the direction of force that acts on the positive test charge
Electric fields
- The SI unit is N/C The Electric fields can be visualized with the help of electric field lines The arrow marks show the direction of the electric field. Electric field lines always point towards a negative point and away from a positive charge. Electric field lines never intersect with each other. Electric field lines are perpendicular to the surface charge. The electric field is strong when the field lines are close together. The electric field is weak when the field lines move apart from each other.
