1 Chapter 6: Electricity and Magnetism

2 Electric Charges Fig 6.3

3 Electrostatic Charge Stationary charge confined to an object Charging mechanisms –Friction –Contact with a charged object –Induction Stationary charge confined to an object Charging mechanisms –Friction –Contact with a charged object –Induction

4 Electrical Conductors and Insulators

5 Measuring Electric Charge Unit of charge –Coulomb (C) –Equivalent to charge of 6.24x10 18 electrons! –Fundamental metric unit –FYI: Equation 6.1 Unit of charge –Coulomb (C) –Equivalent to charge of 6.24x10 18 electrons! –Fundamental metric unit –FYI: Equation 6.1

6 Measuring Electrical Forces Coulomb’s law Relationship giving force between two charges Similar to Newton’s law of gravitation but… Ratio of “k” versus “G” implies gravity weaker.

7 Charges surrounded by electric fields Fields and charges inseparable Fields act on other charges. Charges surrounded by electric fields Fields and charges inseparable Fields act on other charges. Force “Fields”

8 Electric Potential (V) Fig 6.8 Equation 6.3 A Volt is a Joule / Coulomb

9 Electric Current (I) Flow of charge Reason for charge flow: –Potential differences (voltage) Charge per unit time –Thus, a “rate” Units? –Coulomb per second [C/s] –Amperes [Amps]. Flow of charge Reason for charge flow: –Potential differences (voltage) Charge per unit time –Thus, a “rate” Units? –Coulomb per second [C/s] –Amperes [Amps].
