Transcript of 1. Introduction How to solve the problems? Four types of interactions
Electricity, Magnetism and Light PHYSICS 208, Instructor: Olga Kocharovskaya
Lectures 1,2 (Ch.21)Electric Charge and Electric Field
1. Introduction• How to solve the problems? • Four types of interactions
2. Electric Properties of the matter Two types of electric charge Conductors and Insulators Coulomb’s Law
3. Electric field
How to solve problems?• Solve many before this one• Solve it yourself• Ask for hints but not for solution• Discuss it with your friends• Think about it before you go to sleep (you may find a solution in your
dream)
• Use symmetry of the problem• Use superposition principle• Do not surrender!• Forget it (not for exam!), then try again• Enjoy the solution!!!
How to make sure your answer is correct?• Get a general (algebraic) solution• Check the units of the answer, make sure you have
units consistency• Check limiting cases • Check an order of magnitude, is it REASONABLE?
(the speed should not be greater then than that of the light in vacuum, a charge should not be smaller than that of electron, a distance is unlikely to be smaller than 10-15 m in our course, etc.)
• Check the answer in the textbook

Water is an excellent solvent due to the dipole character of its molecule
Modern Technologies: internet, telecommunications, nanotechnolgies, CD, DVD,
lasers, cell phones,…
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Counter propagating proton beams accelerated to 7x1012 eVIn search for a dark matter

4.Weak InteractionsHadrons (proton, neutron,…),
colour charge
3.Strong InteractionsLeptons (electron, muon, tau-
lepton, neitrinos)
lepton charge Interactions between elementary particles, using modern EM technologies
Electric Properties of the matter1. Two types of charges: + and – (Ben Franklin,1740)
glass
plastic
silk
fur
2. Quatization of chargeQ=ne, n=1,2,3,…
e is the minimum value of charge
Particle mass charge electron 9.11×10-31kg -1.60×10-19 C (-e)proton 1.672×10-27kg +1.60×10-19C (+e)neutron 1.674×10-27kg 0
SI : [Q]=1C
3. Conservation of Charge:

q1=0 q2=0 q1+q2=0
4. Three types of materials1. Conductors (free electrons)Metalls, alloys, plasmas
Induction2. Insulators=Dielectrics (bounded electrons)Glass, plastic, paper
Polarization3. Semiconductors (number of free electrons stronglydepends on external conditions such as temperature, electric
field , pressure; under the usual conditions number of electrons is small)
5. Amber effect: Charged and neutral object always attract each other
6. Charging of neutral objects1.By friction: q1=0, q2=0 q1=Q q2=-Q
2. By contactq1=Q q2=0 q1+q2=Q q1=Q/2 q2=Q/2
3. By induction
Coulomb’s Law, 1786

For an ensemble of charges use a Superposition Principle:
