3. Electric Force and Charge
Electric force can attract some objects and repel others.
Electric charge
is the fundamental quantity that underlies all electric phenomena.
comes in two kinds:
Positive such as protons
Negative such as electrons

4. Electric Force and Charge
Fundamental rule for electricity:
Like charges repel; unlike charges attract.

5. Electric Force and Charge
The charging of bodies relates to the structure of atoms.
Fundamental facts about atoms:
Every atom is composed of a positively charged nucleus that contains protons.
Each atomic nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged electrons.
All electrons are identical with the same amount of negative charge; all protons are identical with the same amount of positive charge, equal in amount to the negative charge of an electron.
Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus. Protons are about 1800 times more massive than electrons; neutrons, with no charge,have slightly more mass than protons.

6. Electric Force and Charge
Normally, an atom is electrically neutral—it has the same number of electrons outside the nucleus as protons in the nucleus. In the atoms of metals, the outer electrons are loosely bound and can move freely and are available to join or flow by other atoms.

7. Electric Force and Charge
Atom losing one or more electrons  positive ion
Atom gaining one or more electrons  negative ion
The amount of work required to pull an electron away from an atom varies for different substances.

10. Electric Force and Charge
Conservation of charge:
When electrons are transferred from one material to another—none are created or destroyed.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

11. Coulomb's Law Coulomb's law:
For a pair of charged objects that are much smaller than the distance between them, the force between them varies directly as the product of their charges and inversely as the square of the separation distance:
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

12. Coulomb's Law The unit of charge is the coulomb, C.
The charge of an electron is the fundamental charge = 1.6  C.
k is the proportionality constant, 9.0  109 N • m2/C2, that converts units of charge and distance to force.
The size of the force depends on the product of the charges of the two objects.
For like signs of charge, the force is repulsion.
For unlike signs of charge, the force is attraction.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

13. Coulomb's Law
Differences and similarities between gravitational and electrical forces:
Gravitational forces are only attractive; electrical forces may be either attractive or repulsive.
Both can act between things that are not in contact with each other.
Gravitational forces act in a straight-line direction between masses; electrical forces act in a straight- line direction between charges.
A force field surrounds any mass (gravitational field) and any charged object (electric field).

16. Coulomb's Law Charge polarization
Molecules can't move from their relatively stationary positions, but their "centers of charge" can move.
This distortion of charge in the atom or molecule is electric polarization.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

18. Electric Field Field lines are used to visualize an electric field.
show the direction of an electric field—away from positive and toward negative.
show the intensity of an electric field:
Lines bunched together  field is stronger
Lines farther apart  field is weaker
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

19. Electric Potential
Electric potential energy is the energy possessed by a charged particle or other object due to its location.
If a particle is released, it accelerates away from the sphere, and its electric PE changes to KE.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

20. Electric Potential Electric potential energy
Batteries and generators pull negative charges away from positive ones, doing work to overcome electrical attraction. The amount of work done depends on the number of charges and the separation distance. Work done by the battery and generator becomes available to a circuit as electric potential energy.

25. Conductors and Insulators
Electric conductors are materials that allow charged particles to pass through them easily.
Atoms of metals have free electrons that conduct through a metallic conductor when a potential difference exists. The result is electric current.
Electric insulators are materials that have tightly bound electrons.

28. Conductors and Insulators
Semiconductors are materials that are neither good conductors nor good insulators; their resistance can be varied.
Superconductors are certain metals that acquire infinite conductivity (zero resistance) at temperatures near absolute zero.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

29. Voltage Sources
A potential difference exists when the ends of an electrical conductor are at different electric potentials.
Batteries and generators are common voltage sources.
Charges in a conductor tend to flow from the higher potential to the lower potential. The flow of charges persists until both ends reach the same potential. Without a potential difference, no flow of charge will occur.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

30. Electric Current
Sustained electric current requires a suitable voltage source, which works by pulling negative charges apart from positive ones (available at the terminals of a battery or generator). This energy per charge provides the difference in potential (voltage) that provides the "electrical pressure" to move electrons through a circuit joined to those terminals.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

31. Electric Current Electric current is the flow of electric charge.
conduction electrons in metals.
positive and negative ions in fluids.
measured in amperes.
One ampere is the rate of flow of 1 coulomb of charge per second, or 6.25 billion billion electrons per second.
The actual speed of electrons is slow through the wire, but an electric signal travels near the speed of light.

Which of these statements is true?
Electric current is a flow of electric charge.
Electric current is stored in batteries.
Both are true.
Neither is true.
Explanation:
Voltage, not current, is stored in batteries. The voltage will
produce a current in a connecting circuit. The battery moves
electrons that are already in the wire, not necessarily those in
the battery.
A. Electric current is a flow of electric charge.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

34. Electric Current Electric current may be
DC—direct current charges flow in one direction.
AC—alternating current charges alternate in direction.
Current is produced in a generator
or alternator by periodically switching
the sign at the terminals.

35. Electrical Resistance
describes how well a circuit component resists the passage of electric current.
is defined as the ratio of the voltage of the energy source to the current moving through the energy receiver.
is measured in ohms, after 19th-century German physicist Georg Simon Ohm.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

36. Electrical Resistance
Factors affecting electrical resistance:
Thin wires resist electric current more than thicker wires.
Long wires offer more electrical resistance.
Materials of wire:
Copper has a low electrical resistance, so it is used to make connecting wires.
Rubber has an enormous resistance, so it is used in electrical insulators.
Temperature: The higher the temperature (greater jostling of atoms), the greater the resistance.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

37. Ohm's Law
Ohm's law states the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance.
The current in a circuit varies in direct proportion to the potential difference (voltage) and inversely with the resistance:

40. Ohm's Law Electric shock
The damaging effects of electric shock are the result of current passing through the body.
Tissue damage is due to the conversion of electric energy to heat.
Nerve damage is due to the disruption of normal nerve functions.
The resistance of one's body depends on its condition.
To receive a shock, there must be a potential difference between one part of the body and another part.

41. Ohm's Law Prongs on electric plugs and sockets
The two flat prongs are for the current-carrying double wire, one part live and the other neutral.
The third prong is longer and the first to be plugged into the socket; the path to the ground prevents harm to the user if there is an electrical defect in the appliance.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

42. Electric Circuits
An electric circuit is any closed path along which electrons can flow.
For a continuous flow of electrons through a circuit, there must be no gaps (such as an open electric switch).
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

43. Electric Circuits Devices connect to a circuit in one of two ways:
• Series • Parallel
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

44. Electric Circuits Series:
A single-pathway circuit is formed for electron flow between the terminals of the battery, generator, or wall socket.
A break anywhere in the path results in an open circuit; electron flow ceases. Total resistance adds and current decreases as more devices are added.
Main disadvantage: If one device fails, the entire circuit ceases, and none of the devices will operate.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

45. Electric Circuits Parallel:
A branched pathway is formed for the flow of electrons through a circuit, connected to the terminals of a battery, generator, or wall socket.
A break in any path does not interrupt the flow of charge in the other paths.
A device in each branch operates independently of the others.
Total current in the branches adds.

Explanation:
Remember, charge is already in all parts of the conducting circuit. The battery simply gets the charges moving. As much charge flows inside the battery as outside. So, charge flows through the entire circuit.

50. Electric Power Electric power
is the rate at which electric energy is converted into another form.
is equal to the product of current and voltage.
Electric power = current  voltage = IV
1 watt = 1 ampere  1 volt
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

51. Magnetic Force Magnetic poles produce magnetic forces.
Magnets can repel and attract without touching depending on which ends of the magnets are held near one another.
All magnets have a
north pole (end that points
"northward").
south pole (end that points
"southward").
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

52. Magnetic Fields A magnetic field is the space around a magnet.
is produced by moving electric charges.
The shape of a field is revealed by magnetic field lines that spread out from one pole, curve around the magnet, and return to the other pole.
Lines closer together  field strength is greater
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

53. Magnetic Fields
Magnetic domains are clustered regions of aligned atoms.
When domains are oriented in random fashion, the magnetic fields produced by each cancel the fields of others.
When these regions are aligned with one another, the substance containing them is a magnet.
The strength of a magnet depends on the number of magnetic domains that are aligned.

55. Magnetic Forces on Moving Charges
Charged particles moving in a magnetic field experience a deflecting force.
The force is greatest when the particles move at right angles to the magnetic field lines.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

56. Magnetic Forces on Moving Charges
Magnetic forces on current-carrying wires
A current of charged particles moving through a magnetic field experiences a deflecting force. If the particles are deflected while moving inside a wire, the wire is also deflected.

57. Magnetic Forces on Moving Charges
An electric meter is operated by a current-carrying wire deflected in a magnetic field.
An electric motor operates like an electric meter, except that the current is made to change direction each time the coil makes a half rotation.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

58. Electromagnetic Induction
Electric current can be produced in a wire by moving a magnet into or out of a coil of wire.
Voltage is induced by the relative motion between a wire and a magnetic field. Whether it moves near a stationary conductor or vice versa, voltage is induced.
The greater the number of loops of wire
moving in the magnetic field, the greater
the induced voltage.
Pushing a magnet at the same speed
into a coil with twice as many loops
induces twice as much voltage.
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

59. Electromagnetic Induction
The modern view of electromagnetic induction states that electric and magnetic fields can induce each other.
An electric field is induced in any region of space in which a magnetic field is changing with time. or
A magnetic field is induced in any region of space in which an electric field is changing with time.

60. Electromagnetic Induction
Link between electromagnetic waves and light:
When electric charges or an electric field is set into vibration in the range of frequencies that match those of light, the waves produced are those of light.
Light is simply electromagnetic waves in the range of frequencies to which the eye is sensitive.
