    Study Notes

    Physics II (PHY211)

    • Course offered by the Faculty of Applied Health Science Technology, Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering at New Mansoura University
    • Course taught by Dr. Mohamed EL-Henawey

    Electric Fields

    • An electric field exists in the region surrounding a charged object, the source charge
    • The presence of an electric field can be detected by placing a test charge in the field and measuring the electric force on it.
    • Example: A small positive test charge near a larger positive charge.

    Electric Field Vector

    • Defined as the electric force on a positive test charge divided by the test charge
    • Formula: E = Fe / qo (where E is the electric field vector, Fe is the electric force, and qo is the test charge)
    • Units: Newtons per Coulomb (N/C)
    • Direction: The direction of the electric field is the same as the direction of the force on a positive test charge.

    The Electric Field of a Point Charge

    • According to Coulomb's law: Fe = k * (q * qo) / r^2 (where k is Coulomb's constant, q is the source charge, qo is the test charge, and r is the distance between the charges)
    • Electric field vector formula: E = k * q / r^2 (where k is Coulomb's constant, q is the source charge, and r is the distance between the charges)

    Electric Field Direction

    • For a positive source charge, the field is directed away from the charge
    • For a negative source charge, the field is directed towards the charge

    Electric Fields from Multiple Charges

    • The total electric field at a point due to multiple charges is the vector sum of the electric fields due to each individual charge
    • Formula: E = Σ (k * qi / ri^2) * ri

    Example (1): Proton in an electric field

    • Given an electric field of (2 × 10^4 N/C), the force experienced by a proton is calculated using F = qoE

    Example (2): Electric field at a point P.

    • Find the electric field at point P with coordinates (0, 0.4) m due to two charges of opposite sign along the x-axis.

    Electric Field - Continuous Charge Distribution

    • Procedure for calculating the total electric field due to a continuous charge:
      1. Divide the charge distribution into small elements (Aq).
      2. Calculate the electric field due to one element at the point P.
      3. Sum the contributions of all charge elements.
    • Formula For the individual charge element: ∆E=k∆q/r^2

    Different cases of charge distribution

    • Uniform volume charge density: ρ = Q/V (where Q is the total charge and V is the volume)
    • Surface charge density: σ = Q/A (where Q is the total charge and A is the surface area)
    • Linear charge density: λ = Q/L

    Electric Field Lines

    • The number of lines per unit area through a surface perpendicular to the lines is proportional to the magnitude of the electric field in that region.
    • Field lines are closer together in stronger fields.
    • The intensity of the electric field is higher where field lines are closer to each other.
    • A positive charge generates field lines radiating outwards and negative charges radiate inward

    Motion of Charged Particles in an Electric Field

    • A positive charge accelerates in the direction of the electric field
    • A negative charge accelerates in the opposite direction of the electric field

    Motion of an Electric Dipole in a Uniform Electric Field

    • The net force on a dipole in a uniform electric field is zero.
    • A torque acts on the dipole, tending to align it with the field.
    • Torque formula: τ = pEsinθ (where p is the dipole moment, E is the electric field, and θ is the angle between p and E).
