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).
