4. Electrical Forces There are 2 types of electrical charges A positive (+) charge A negative (-) charge A force always exists between 2 charged objects: Like charges repel Opposite charges attract Sign of the charge applet http://kingfish.coastal.edu/physics/p hyslets/Electrostatics/sign_of_charg e.html Physics Place videos + - + - + - (c) repulsion (b) attraction (a) attraction Electric Force Applet http://www.colorado.edu/physics/200 0/waves_particles/wavpart2.html

5. Electric Charges Electrons have a negative (-) charge The Greeks were the first to discover electricity about 2500 years ago. When a piece of amber was rubbed with other materials it would attract small objects such as dried leaves, or straw. The Greeks word for amber is electron. The word electric was derived from it and meant "to be like amber." Protons have a positive (+) charge Facts about atoms: All matter is made up of atoms, which are made up of protons and electrons. The positively charged nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged electrons. The electrons of all atoms are identical. Each has the same amount of (-) charge and mass. Protons and neutrons compose the nucleus. Protons and electrons have an equal and opposite charge. Neutrons have no net charge. In the natural state, all atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, so they are electrically “neutral”. (They have no NET charge). A helium atom has 2 protons and 2 electrons So why don’t atoms fly apart or collapse? The answer is in quantum mechanics.

8. Conservation of Charge Charge conservation is the principle that electric charge can neither be created nor destroyed. The quantity of electric charge is always conserved. Neutral atom + Charged “ion” +e-e- (an electron) You can move charges around (like by rubbing a glass rod with a silk cloth – stripping electrons off atoms in the glass). Physically add energy After you do this, the glass rod has a net “positive” charge and the silk has a net “negative” charge. NOTE: In this case, like all cases, we’re not “creating” charges, we’re just moving them around. No new charges can be created, and none can be destroyed. The smallest quantity of charge is the charge of an electron (or a proton) … can’t get any smaller amount than that. Charge is “quantized”. There is a smallest possible amount of charge.

9. Coulomb’s Law Specifies the relationship between interacting charges and the force between them. q 1 = the charge of first object q 2 = the charge of second object k = the proportionality constant d = the distance between the two objects q1q1 q2q2 d Example: Two charged objects separated by a distance d An inverse square law, like gravity …. Remember? But the “Coulomb Force” is MUCH stronger than gravity. K = 9,000,000,000 Nm 2 /C 2 C is a “Coulomb” – a unit of charge. An electron has a charge of 1.6 x 10 -19 C

10. Conductors and Insulators Conductors "Conductor" implies that the outer electrons of the atoms are loosely bound and free to move through the material. Examples: metals like copper, gold, aluminum, etc. Insulators Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators. In most materials even the outermost electrons are so tightly bound that there is essentially zero electron flow through them. Examples: rubber, plastics, glass, air. These words describe a material’s ability to permit the flow of charges within the material. In other words, their ability to conduct an “electric current”.

11. Semiconductors/Superconductors Semiconductors Conduction properties are in between conductors and insulators. Adding trace amounts of impuritities to a semiconductor material can give it good conduction properties. It can be sometimes a conductor and sometimes an insulator. A semiconductor can be made to conduct when light hits it (photovoltaic cells) or to emit light when a current flows through it (a Light Emitting Diode or LED). (Don’t have to know this) Superconductors Materials in which all resistance to current flow disappears. Usually at very low temperature. Right now the highest temperature for this to happen is at about 100 Kelvin (about -173 Celsius)

12. Charging There are many different ways to cause a NET charge to accumulate on an object. Charging by Friction and Contact: Charging by Induction: An electroscope Friction: Shoes against a carpet Baloon against your hair Rub silk against a glass rod Contact: Physics Place Figures
