16. WARNING: Carrying Calculators, Rulers etc.
Los Angeles County Teacher Arrested in New York Airport
A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport as
he attempted to board a flight in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide
rule, and a calculator. At a morning press conference, the Attorney General said he
believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra Movement.
He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of
Math Instruction.
“Al-Gebra is a problem for us,” the Attorney General said. “They derive solutions by
means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values.”
They use secret code names like “X” and “Y” and refer to themselves as “unknowns.”
Their variable nature makes everyone leery of their actions as sometimes the equation
does not add up. We have determined that these operatives belong to a common
denominator with coordinates in every country. An examination of the matrix of their
operation, will allow the FBI to determine their function, and plan methods to FOIL their
maneuvers.
When asked to comment on the arrest, President Obama said, “If God had wanted us to
have better Weapons of Math Instruction, He would have given us more fingers and
toes.”

33. Developing a Charge Model
• Rubbing things together produces charges
& forces
• Three states of charge: a) positive, b)
negative and c) neutral (equal mix of
positive and negative charges)
• Like charges repel, opposites attract
• Force between charged objects is a long
distance force that decreases with
distance
• Charge can be transferred by contact
34. Electric Properties of Materials
• Charge can be transferred by contact
between objects
• Two types of materials: a) conductors
(conduct charge easily), b) insulators (do
not conduct charges easily)
• Both conductors and insulators can be
charged
• Conductors give up charge easily
• Insulators do not give up charge easily
35. Charge
• Positive charge & negative charge –
named by Benjamin Franklin
• Franklin named the charge on the glass
rod positive
• Any charge that repels the glass rod is
also positive and any that attracts the
glass rod is negative
• By convention, electrons are negatively
charged and protons are positively
charged
• Developed without knowledge of atoms
36. Electron orbital frequencies
~ 1015 rev/minute
This atom is neutral in charge
since it has the same number
of protons and
electrons.
e is called the
fundamental charge
~10-14 m
•Protons
•1.67x10-27 kg
•+e
•Electrons
•9.11x10-31 kg
•-e
37. The Micro/Macro Connection
• Electrons & protons – basic charges of
ordinary matter
– Particles
– Follow Newton’s Laws of Motion
• Charge represented by symbol “q”
• Object is charged if the total number of
electrons and protons are unequal
• Objects charge will always be an integer
multiple of e (charge quantization)
38. The Micro/Macro Connection
• Objects acquire charge by gaining or
loosing (ionization) electrons
– Atoms missing electrons – positive ions
– Atoms with extra electrons – negative ions
• Friction causes charging (ionization)
– Molecular bonds broken at surface
– One part of molecule looses an electron
– One part of molecule gains an electron
– Ions are on opposing objects
• Fur (positive) & rubber rod (negative)
• Silk (negative) & glass rod (positive)
39.
40. Charge Conservation
• Laws of Conservation
– Conservation of Energy
– Conservation of linear and rotational momentum
– Conservation of charge
• Law of Conservation of Charge:
Charge is neither created or destroyed.
Charge can be transferred from one object
to another as electrons and ions move
about, but the total amount of charge
remains constant.
(Net charge of fur and rubber rod is zero)
41. Example of charge diagrams. Draw a simple two-dimensional cross-section
Of the object/s. Draw only the net charge (neutral should show no charges).
Charge on conductor will only be at the surface. Conserve charge from one
diagram to the next if multiple diagrams are needed.
42. Insulators & Conductors
• Insulator - Electrons tightly bound to
nucleus and cannot move about
• Conductor – Outer electrons (valence
electrons) are weakly bound. When
atoms come together to form a solid,
these valence electrons are shared and
are then free to move about or wander
through the entire solid. Similar to an
array of positive ion cores with negatively
charged fluid moving about in between
(sea of electrons)
43. Charging an insulator
By friction leaves patches
of charge on surface.
These patches of charge
are not mobile and the
charge does not spread
out.
Electrons in a metal are
highly mobile.
In a metal the mobile valence
electrons are called charge
carriers.
44. Insulators & Conductors – Cont.
• Conductors
– Metals – charge conductors are electrons
– Ionic solutions – charge conductors are
positive and negative ions
– Plasma – charge conductors are electrons
and nuclei
46. Electrons in a conductor are free to move.
When charge is transferred, electrons repel
each other and rapidly move to redistribute
themselves accordingly (entire sea shifted
to side and then redistributes). This response
Is virtually instantaneous.
Other than this brief adjustment period when
charging is happening, the charges in a
conductor are in static equilibrium. This means
that the charges are at rest because there is no
net force acting on any of them.
“Electrostatic Equilibrium”
In an isolated conductor, any excess charge is
located on the surface of the conductor.
48. Since the electroscope is metal, all excess charges move as far
apart as possible. As a result, the leaves become charged as well
And repel each other since they are of like charge.
49. Discharging
• Charging happens as a result of friction
• Discharging happens by contact
(touching)
– A conductor, or reasonable conductor
touching a charged object removes or
conducts away charge
– Things that can remove charge
• Water – most water contains ions making it a good
conductor
• Humans – mostly salt water – therefore, good
conductor
• Grounding straps
• Air – poor conductor but some charged ions which
will gradually discharge an object exposed to the
air
• Earth – “grounded”
50. Human – fair conductor. Charges will
quickly spread over entire conductive
area which now includes the human.
Not much charge will be left on the metal
when person removes their hand.
Insulators will not give up their charge
easily since the charges are not free to
move. They may, but in the small area
in contact with the discharging object.
An object connected to the earth will share
its charge with entire earth and will
become completely discharged.
Grounding objects prevents the build up of
excess charge in electric and electronic
circuits.
51. Charge Polarization
• Charging happens as a result of friction
• Discharging happens by contact
(touching)
– A conductor, or reasonable conductor
touching a charged object removes or
conducts away charge
– Things that can remove charge
• Water – most water contains ions making it a good
conductor
• Humans – mostly salt water – therefore, good
conductor
• Grounding straps
• Air – poor conductor but some charged ions which
will gradually discharge an object exposed to the
air
• Earth – “grounded”
54. Charge Polarization
• Equilibrium position for electrons is such
that force of nearby charged object and
force from positive nuclei is balanced
– Nuclei exert restoring force on electrons
– Actual position shift is typically < 10-15m
56. The Electric Dipole
Why does a charged object attract neutral insulators?
Also an example of polarization force.
This slight separation of charge is called an electric dipole.
57.
58. A charged object can pick up paper because it:
•Polarizes atoms in paper
•Exerts attractive polarization
force on each atom
60. Coulomb’s Law
• Basic law of electric force
• Explains why
– Adding more charge increases the
repulsive/attractive force
– Increasing the distance reduces the
repulsive/attractive force
• Some debate as to whether he discovered
the inverse square law or made a good
guess, but he was correct
K is the electrostatic constant
Law also says that the force is an action/
reaction pair acting along the line joining the
two charges and that the force is repulsive
For like charges and attractive for opposites.
61. Coulomb’s Law – Cont.
Similar to Newton’s Law of Gravitation
but:
Charges can be positive or negative
therefore the absolute value signs give
us the magnitude. The second part of
Coulomb’s Law tells us the direction of
the forces on the respective charges.

Coulomb’s Law & Units of Charge
Coulomb had no unit of charge so he
could not define the electrostatic constant
(numerical value depends on units of
distance and charge)
Fundamental unit of charge:
e = 1.60x10-19 C (C is for Coulomb)
or… 1C = 6.25x1018 protons
Typical charge on rubber rod is 10-9C to 107
C or an excess of 1010 or 1012 electrons
K = 8.99x109 Nm2/C2
63. Coulomb’s Law – Cont.
• We can make Coulomb’s Law more useful
for later chapters by rewriting it
– Define permittivity constant εo (epsilon zero)
– εo = 1/4πK = 8.85x10-12 C2/Nm2
Now let’s use Coulomb’s Law!

69. The Field Model
• Electric & magnetic forces are long range forces
• Despite the success of Newton’s Law of
Gravitation, scientists of the time still had great
difficulty with forces at a distance
• Faraday postulated that the object producing the
field changed the space around it in some way
and that the behavior of a charged object was in
response to the change in the space & affects all
space
• Faraday also postulated that the effects of field
took a finite time (not instantaneous) to
propagate
70.
71. The Field Model – Cont.
• Faraday was not taken seriously at first –
many scientists thought it was just a
pictorial gimmick
• Over time scientists realized that the
concept of field was required to
understand the behavior of
electromagnetics
• Put on a mathematical basis in 1865 by
James Clerk Maxwell
– Explained all known electromagnetic behavior
in four equations known as “Maxwell’s
Equations” (Chapter 35)
72. Gravity is a Field Force
•r is measured from the center of mass to
center of mass
•Force acts as if all mass concentrated at
center of mass
•Action reaction force pair
•Force is in direction of center of mass of object
exerting the force
73. Gravity is a Field Force
All objects of mass are
gravitational sinks field lines are in toward
Center of mass
76. Gravity is a Field Force
This is approximately true for all locations near the
Earth’s surface.
77. The Electric Field Model
• We will call some charges source charges
(electric field source) and others sink
charges
• A separate charge in the electric field
experiences a force exerted by the field
• Force proportional to strength of field
• “E” is called the electric field strength
78. How Do We Know There is an Electric Field?
Put a point charge at location of
interest and see if there is a force
on it
79. The Electric Field Model
• From any given charge there is an electric
field vector defined for every point in
space
• If q of the test charge is positive, the force
will be in direction of field vector at that
point
• Electric field does not depend on size of
test charge – force dependant upon q, so
field is independent.
• Fon q = qE
80. Point charge q creates field.
Point charge q’ to test the field
made by q.
By measuring the force on q’
we can determine the
direction of E at that point.
We note that no matter where
we place q’, the field will
always point out away from q.
F = (1/4πεo)qq’/r2
E = F/q’ = (1/4πεo)q/r2
81. Positive Charge: Field Source
Notice how the arrows for
the field get smaller the
Farther out they go. This
Is due to the fact that the
field for a point charge
drops with the square
of the distance.
Arrows are only a
representation of the
field. The field exists at
all points. The lengths are
representative of the field
strength at that point (Iwhere
the dot is).
82. The Electric Field of a Point Charge
• We will use vector notation to make our
equation a little more useful and allow use
of positive or negative charges
