Presentation transcript:

The Electric Field The electric field is present in any region of space if there exists electric forces on charges. These electric forces can be detected using a test charge. Test charges are theoretical positive charges that do not alter the electric field to be detected. Electric field at a point in space is defined as the electric force per unit test charge placed at that point. The SI unit for the electric field is the newton per coulomb (N/C). Electric field is a vector.

The Electric Field of a Point Charge

P 45 Chap 18 Two charges are located on the x axis: q 1 = +6.0 µ C at x 1 = +4.0 cm, and q 2 = +6.0 µ C at x 2 = -4.0 cm. Two other charges are located on the y axis: q 3 = +3.0 µ C at y 3 = +5.0 cm, and q 4 = -8 µ C at y 4 = +7.0 cm. Find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the net electric field at the origin.

Electric Field Lines Positive point charge Negative point charge Dipole Two like charges Parallel plate Capacitor

Gauss' Law The electric flux, Φ E through a Gaussian surface is equal to the net charge Q enclosed by the surface divided by, 0 the permittivity of free space: Gauss' Law:

18.8. The Electric Field Inside a Conductor: Shielding At electrostatic equilibrium: 1.Any excess charge resides on the surface. 2.The electric field is zero inside the conductor.

Conductor in Electric Field Under electrostatic equilibrium: 1.The conductor shields the electric field. 2.The electric field just outside the surface a conductor is perpendicular to the surface. Sensitive electronic circuits are often enclosed within metal boxes that provide shielding from external fields.
