Electric Charges and Forces
There are two types of charge:
positive charges and negative charges
REPEL REPEL ATTRACT
Like charges repel, opposite charges attract.
Apr 7, 2023 Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Electrons, Protons, & Atoms
Helium atom
Electrons
Protons
Electrons carry negative charge.
Protons carry positive charge.
Electrons are loosely bound to atoms
Protons are tightly locked
within the nucleus.
Objects are usually neutral but can easily acquire or lose electrons to become charged.
Apr 7, 2023 Physics 1 (Garcia) SJSU
Charging by Friction/Contact
Electrons move easily so an object can become charged by rubbing electrons off the object’s surface.
• Brush your hair with a plastic comb.
• Walk across a carpet with plastic-soled shoes.

Demo: Electroscope
The “legs” of an electroscope separate when the electroscope is charged due to the repulsion of like charge on the two legs.
Charged ebonite rod deposits negative charge (electrons) onto electroscope.

Demo: Van de Graff Generator
Van de Graff deposits large quantities of excess charge on its globe.
A person with long hair can become a human electroscope.

Conservation of Charge

Rod & FurNeutral
Electrons are rubbed off the hairs of a piece of fur, collecting and charging a plastic rod.
Is the fur also charged?
Positive or negative.
Charge cannot be created nor destroyed.Objects become charged by transfer of charges.

Conductors & Insulators
Materials, such as metals, in which electrons flow freely are called electrical conductors.
Materials, such as plastic and wood, in which electrons do not move easily are called electrical insulators.
Materials, such as silicon, that can act as conductors or insulators under different conditions are called semiconductors.

Plastic Insulators
Plastic insulation on step of van de Graff and charge wand keep charge from leaving the metal balls.
Plastic insulation on wire prevents charge to leave wire except at the ends, where the conducting metal is exposed.

Demo: Tesla Coil
Air is an insulator but at high voltages it can conduct electricity as lightning.

Coulomb’s Law
Electric force has magnitude given by
(Electric Force) = (k) x
ObjectA
ObjectB
( Charge of Object A ) x ( Charge of Object B)
( Distance ) x ( Distance )

Demo: Electroscope & Induction
The legs of the electroscope separate when charged rod brought near the electroscope.
Charge induction pushes electrons into the legs.
Negatively charged rod repels electrons so they move as far away as possible.

Lightning Storms
Charge separates inside of thunderclouds.
The lower part of the cloud is negatively charged.
This induces a positive charge on the ground.
When the voltage difference is high enough, a lightning bolt can occur.

Demo: Lightning Rod
Charge flows readily to and from sharp metal points.
Purpose of a lightning rod is to discharge a building before lightning occurs.

Check Yourself
What causes a stream of water to be deflected when you bring a charged object next to it?

Electric Field Lines
Electric field lines indicate the direction of electric force if a positive charge was placed in the electric field.

Demo: Streamers
Paper streamers attached to the van de Graff show the direction of the electric field.

Electric Potential
Electric potential is potential energy per charge, like temperature is internal energy per molecule.
5000 °F ?
Both situations are safe because the total amount of energy is small
Check Yourself:Is this safe?

Capacitors
Capacitors are used to store separated positive and negative electric charges.
Basic design is pair of conducting plates insulated from each other.
Industrial capacitor

Charged capacitor holds enough charge to light a light bulb when discharged.
Low voltage (low electric potential) but LARGE amount of charge – Dangerous!
