4. 32.2 Conservation of Charge
Principle of Conservation of Charge
Electrons are neither created nor destroyed but are simply transferred from one material to another.

5. Conductors and Insulators
A good conductor transfers charge easily.
A good insulator inhibits the transfer of charge.
A good conductor is a poor insulator and a good insulator is a poor conductor.

6. 32.3 Coulomb’s Law
For charged objects, the force between the charges varies directly as the product of the charges and inversely as the square of the distance between them.
Where:
d is the distance between the charged particles.
q1 represents the quantity of charge of one particle.
q2 is the quantity of charge of the other particle.
k is the proportionality constant.

7. Electric Forces Coulomb’s Law k = 9 x 109 N•m2/C2

13. 32.5 Charging by Friction and Contact
Two ways electric charge can be transferred are by friction and by contact.

14. 32.5 Charging by Friction and Contact
We can stroke a cat’s fur and hear the crackle of sparks that are produced.
We can comb our hair in front of a mirror in a dark room and see as well as hear the sparks of electricity.
We can scuff our shoes across a rug and feel the tingle as we reach for the doorknob.
Electrons are being transferred by friction when one material rubs against another.

15. 32.5 Charging by Friction and Contact
Electrons can also be transferred from one material to another by simply touching.
When a charged rod is placed in contact with a neutral object, some charge will transfer to the neutral object.
This method of charging is called charging by contact.
If the object is a good conductor, the charge will spread to all parts of its surface because the like charges repel each other.

16. 32.6 Charging by Induction
If a charged object is brought near a conducting surface, even without physical contact, electrons will move in the conducting surface.

17. 32.6 Charging by Induction
Charging by induction can be illustrated using two insulated metal spheres.
Uncharged insulated metal spheres touching each other, in effect, form a single noncharged conductor.

18. 32.6 Charging by Induction
When a negatively charged rod is held near one sphere, electrons in the metal are repelled by the rod.
Excess negative charge has moved to the other sphere, leaving the first sphere with an excess positive charge.
The charge on the spheres has been redistributed, or induced.

19. 32.6 Charging by Induction
When the spheres are separated and the rod removed, the spheres are charged equally and oppositely.
They have been charged by induction, which is the charging of an object without direct contact.

20. 32.6 Charging by Induction
Charge induction by grounding can be illustrated using a metal sphere hanging from a nonconducting string.

21. 32.6 Charging by Induction
Charge induction by grounding can be illustrated using a metal sphere hanging from a nonconducting string.
A charge redistribution is induced by the presence of the charged rod. The net charge on the sphere is still zero.

22. 32.6 Charging by Induction
Charge induction by grounding can be illustrated using a metal sphere hanging from a nonconducting string.
A charge redistribution is induced by the presence of the charged rod. The net charge on the sphere is still zero.
Touching the sphere removes electrons by contact and the sphere is left positively charged.

23. 32.6 Charging by Induction
Charge induction by grounding can be illustrated using a metal sphere hanging from a nonconducting string.
A charge redistribution is induced by the presence of the charged rod. The net charge on the sphere is still zero.
Touching the sphere removes electrons by contact and the sphere is left positively charged.
The positively charged sphere is attracted to a negative rod.

24. 32.6 Charging by Induction
Charge induction by grounding can be illustrated using a metal sphere hanging from a nonconducting string.
A charge redistribution is induced by the presence of the charged rod. The net charge on the sphere is still zero.
Touching the sphere removes electrons by contact and the sphere is left positively charged.
The positively charged sphere is attracted to a negative rod.
When electrons move onto the sphere from the rod, it becomes negatively charged by contact.

25. 32.6 Charging by Induction
When we touch the metal surface with a finger, charges that repel each other have a conducting path to a practically infinite reservoir for electric charge—the ground.
When we allow charges to move off (or onto) a conductor by touching it, we are grounding it.

26. 32.7 Charge Polarization
Charge polarization can occur in insulators that are near a charged object.
When a charged rod is brought near an insulator, there are no free electrons to migrate throughout the insulating material.
Instead, there is a rearrangement of the positions of charges within the atoms and molecules themselves.

27. 32.7 Charge Polarization
One side of the atom or molecule is induced to be slightly more positive (or negative) than the opposite side.
The atom or molecule is said to be electrically polarized.

28. 32.7 Charge Polarization
When an external negative charge is brought closer from the left, the charges within a neutral atom or molecule rearrange.

29. 32.7 Charge Polarization
When an external negative charge is brought closer from the left, the charges within a neutral atom or molecule rearrange.
All the atoms or molecules near the surface of the insulator become electrically polarized.

48. 34.7 Direct Current and Alternating Current
By DC, we mean direct current, which refers to a flow of charge that always flows in one direction.
A battery produces direct current in a circuit because the terminals of the battery always have the same sign of charge.
Electrons always move through the circuit from the negative terminal toward the positive terminal.
Even if the current moves in unsteady pulses, so long as it moves in one direction only, it is DC.

49. 34.7 Direct Current and Alternating Current
Alternating current (AC), as the name implies, is electric current that repeatedly reverses direction.
Electrons in the circuit move first in one direction and then in the opposite direction.
They alternate back and forth about relatively fixed positions.
This is accomplished by alternating the polarity of voltage at the generator or other voltage source.

50. 34.8 Converting AC to DC
A converter uses a transformer to lower the voltage and a diode, an electronic device that allows electron flow in only one direction.
Since alternating current vibrates in two directions, only half of each cycle will pass through a diode.
The output is a rough DC, off half the time.
To maintain continuous current while smoothing the bumps, a capacitor is used.

51. 34.8 Converting AC to DC When input to a diode is AC,
output is pulsating DC.
Charging and discharging of a capacitor provides continuous and smoother current.
In practice, a pair of diodes is used so there are no gaps in current output.

52. Power = current x voltage
Electrical Power
Electrical Power is measured in Watts.
Power = current x voltage
P = IV or P = I2R or P = V2/R
Since Energy is Power x Time electrical energy is often measured in Kilowatt•hours or power x time.

53. 34.11 Electric Power
The power and voltage on the light bulb read “60 W 120 V.”
The current that would flow through the bulb is:
I = P/V = (60 W)/(120 V) = 0.5 A.

55. 34.11 Electric Power
think!
How much power is used by a calculator that operates on 8 volts and 0.1 ampere? If it is used for one hour, how much energy does it use?
Answer: Power = current × voltage = (0.1 A) × (8 V) = 0.8 W. Energy = power × time = (0.8 W) × (1 h) = 0.8 watt-hour, or kilowatt-hour.
