3 Electric Charge

4 Electric Charge and Electrical Forces: ____________ have a negative electrical charge. ____________have a positive electrical charge. These charges interact to create an _____________. –Like charges produce _______________– so they ______________(e.g. electron and _________or proton and _______ repel each other). –Unlike charges produce ____________– so they _____________(e.g. electron and _______attract each other).

5 A very highly simplified model of an atom has most of the mass in a small, dense center called the ________. The nucleus has positively charged ________and neutral ________. Negatively charged __________move around the nucleus at much greater distance. Ordinary atoms are ___________because there is a balance between the number of positively charged __________and negatively charged ___________.

6 –Electrostatic Charge: Electrons move from atom to atom to create _________. (charged particles) –positively charged ions result from the loss of electrons and are called __________. –Negatively charged ions result from the gain of electrons and are called __________.

7 (A) A neutral atom has ______________because the numbers of electrons and protons are _________. (B) Removing an ________ produces a net positive charge; the charged atom is called a _____________ (_________). (C) The addition of an electron produces a net negative charge and a _______________ (________).

8 Arbitrary numbers of protons (+) and electrons (-) on a comb and in hair (A) before and (B) after combing. Combing ________ _________ from the hair to the comb by friction, resulting in a negative charge on the comb and a positive charge on the hair.

9 The charge on an ion is called an ________________ ____________. An object becomes electrostatically charged by one of three things: –____________,which transfers electrons between two objects in contact, –____________with a charged body which results in the transfer of electrons, –____________which produces a charge redistribution of electrons in a material.

10 _______________________: The comb has become charged by friction, acquiring an excess of electrons. The paper (A) normally has a random distribution of (+) and (-) charges. (B) When the charged comb is held close to the paper, there is a reorientation of charges because of the repulsion of the charges. This leaves a net positive charge on the side close to the comb, and since unlike charges attract, the paper is attracted to the comb.

11 –Electrical Conductors and Insulators: _______________________are materials that can move electrons easily. –Good conductors include _______.

Mathematically, q = n e where e is the fundamental charge.

13 Coulomb’s law: Electrical force is proportional to the product of the electrical charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. This is known as Coulomb’s law.

16 A __________test charge is used by convention to identify the properties of an electric field. The vector arrow points in the direction of the force that the test charge would experience.

17 Lines of force diagrams for (A) a _________charge and (B) a _________charge when the charges have the same ___________ as the test charge.

18 Electrical Potential: –An electrical charge has an electrical field that surrounds it. –In order to move a second charge through this field _____________________________. –Bringing a like charge particle into this field will require work since like charges _________each other and bringing an opposite charged particle into the field will require work to keep the charges separated.

A __________is a measure of the potential difference between two points, electric potential = _________ Or, The _____________of an electrical charge is the energy transfer per coulomb. –The energy transfer can be measured by the work that is done to move the charge or by the work that the charge can do because of the position of the field.

20 The falling water can do work in turning the water wheel only as long as the pump maintains the potential difference between the upper and lower reservoirs.

21 Electric Current

22 Introduction: –________________________means a flow of charge in the same way that a water current flows. –It is the charge that flows, and the current is defined as the flow of the charge.

23 The Electric Circuit: An electrical circuit contains some device that acts as a source of energy as it gives charges a higher potential against an electrical field. The charges do work as they flow through the circuit to a ________________________. The charges flow through connecting wires to make a ______________________. A __________is a means of interrupting or completing the circuit. –The source of the electrical potential is the __________________________.

24 A simple electric circuit has a __________source (such as a generator or battery) that maintains the electrical potential, some ________(such as a lamp or motor ) where work is done by the potential, and ____________ ____________for the current to follow.

25 –____________is a measure of the potential difference between two places in a circuit. Voltage is measured in joules/coloumb. –The rate at which an electrical current (I) flows is the charge (q) that moves through a cross section of a conductor in a give unit of time (t), the units of current are ___________________. A coulomb/second is an __________(____).

26 A simple electric circuit carrying a current of 1.00 coulomb per second through a cross section of a conductor has a current of 1.00 amp.

27 The Nature of Current: –________________ current describes current as positive charges that flow from the _________to the ___________ terminal of a battery. –The _________current description is the ________of the conventional current. The electron current describes current as a drift of negative charges that flow from the __________to the ___________terminal of a battery. It is actually the electron current that moves charges.

28 A ______________current describes positive charges moving from the positive terminal (+) to the negative terminal (-). An _____________current describes negative charges (-) moving from the negative terminal (-) to the positive terminal (+).

29 –The ________that occurs when there is a voltage depends on 4 things: The _________________that are moved through the unit volume of the conducting material. The ___________________ on each electron. The _____________which depends on the properties of the conducting material and the temperature. The ____________________of the conducting wire.

30 –It is the __________________, and not the electrons, which does the work. It is the electric field that accelerates electrons that are already in the conducting material. –It is important to understand that: An electric potential difference establishes, at nearly the speed of light, an electric field throughout a circuit. The field causes a net motion that constitutes a flow of charge. The average velocity of the electrons moving as a current is very slow, even thought he electric field that moves them travels with a speed close to the speed of light.

31 What is the nature of the electric current carried by these conducting lines? It is an electric field that moves at near the speed of light. The field causes a net motion of electrons that constitutes a flow of charge, a current.

32 (A) A metal conductor without a current has immovable positive ions surrounded by a swarm of randomly moving electrons. (B) An electric field causes the electrons to shift positions, creating a separation charge as the electrons move with a zigzag motion from collisions with stationary positive ions and other electrons.

33 Electrical Resistance: –_______________is the resistance to movement of electrons being accelerated with an energy loss. Materials have the property of reducing a current and that is ___________________(R). –_____________is a ratio between the potential difference (V) between two points and the resulting current (I).

35 The four factors that influence the resistance of an electrical conductor are the length of the conductor, the cross-sectional area of the conductor, the material the conductor is made of, and the temperature of the conductor.

36 Electrical Power and Electrical Work: –All electrical circuits have three parts in common. A voltage source. An electrical device Conducting wires. –The work done (W) by a voltage source is equal to the work done by the electrical field in an electrical device, Work = _________ x _________ The electrical potential is measured in joules/coulomb and a quantity of charge is measured in coulombs, so the electrical work is measure in joules.

37 Magnetism

38 All of us are familiar with magnets. In a magnet we have magnetic poles – the north and the south pole. –A North seeking pole is called the North Pole. –A South seeking pole is called the South Pole. Like magnetic poles ________ and unlike magnetic poles __________.

39 Every magnet has ends, or poles, about which the magnetic properties seem to be concentrated. As this photo shows, more iron filings are attracted to the poles, revealing their location.

40 Magnetic Fields: –A magnet that is moved in space near a second magnet experiences a ________________. A magnetic field can be represented by ____________. –The strength of the magnetic field is ___________where the lines are closer together and ___________where they are farther apart.

41 These lines are a map of the magnetic field around a bar magnet. The needle of a magnetic compass will follow the lines, with the north end showing the direction of the field.

42 The Source of Magnetic Fields: –Permanent Magnets: _________________produce magnetic fields. In most materials these magnetic fields ________one another and neutralize the overall magnetic effect. In other materials such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, the atoms behave as tiny magnets because of certain orientations of the electrons inside the atom. –These atoms are grouped in a tiny region called the _________________________.

43 Our Earth is a big magnet. The Earth’s magnetic field is thought to originate with moving charges. The core is probably composed of iron and nickel, which flows as the Earth rotates, creating electrical currents that result in the Earth’s magnetic field.

44 The earth's magnetic field. Note that the magnetic north pole and the geographic North Pole are not in the same place!!! Note also that the magnetic north pole acts as if the south pole of a huge bar magnet were inside the earth. You know that it must be a magnetic south pole since the north end of a magnetic compass is attracted to it and opposite poles attract.

45 A bar magnet cut into halves always makes new, complete magnets with both a north and a south pole. The poles always come in pairs. You can not separate a pair into single poles.

46 Electric Currents and Magnetism

47 Oersted discovered that a compass needle below a wire (A) pointed _______when there was not a current, (B) moved at _______angles when a current flowed one way, and (C) moved at ______angles in the opposite direction when the current was reversed.

48 (A) In a piece of iron, the magnetic domains have random arrangement that cancels any overall magnetic effect (not magnetic). (B) When an external magnetic field is applied to the iron, the magnetic domains are realigned, and those parallel to the field grow in size at the expense of the other domains, and the iron becomes magnetized.

49 A magnetic compass shows the presence and direction of the magnetic field around a straight length of current- carrying wire.

50 Use (A) a right-hand rule of thumb to determine the direction of a magnetic field around a conventional current and (B) a left-hand rule of thumb to determine the direction of a magnetic field around an electron current.

51 When a current is run through a cylindrical coil of wire, a __________, it produces a magnetic field like the magnetic field of a bar magnet. The solenoid is known as __________________.

53 A galvanometer measures the direction and relative strength of an electric current from the magnetic field it produces. A coil of wire wrapped around an iron core becomes an electromagnet that rotates in the field of a permanent magnet. The rotation moves pointer on a scale.

54 –Electric Motors: An electrical motor is an electromagnetic device that converts ___________energy into ______________ energy. A motor has two working parts - a stationary magnet called a field magnet and a cylindrical, movable electromagnet called an armature. The armature is on an axle and rotates in the magnetic field of the field magnet. The axle is used to do work.

55 Electromagnetic Induction

56 Induced Current: –If a loop of wire is moved in a magnetic field a voltage is induced in the wire. The voltage is called an induced voltage and the resulting current is called an induced current. The induction is called _________________________. A current is induced in a coil of wire moved through a magnetic field. The direction of the current depends on the direction of motion.

57 The magnitude of the induced voltage is proportional to: The number of ______________cutting across the magnetic field lines. The ___________ of the magnetic field. The _______at which magnetic field lines are cut by the wire. Applications: (where we see this...) –DC and AC Generators, –Transformers (step-up and step-down).
