    How to Succeed
    The challenges of Physics 202:
    Topics: electromagnetism, waves, quantum mech.
    many new concepts, less familiar/intuitive topics, mathematics
    calculus (line integrals, surface integrals, gradients), vectors

    1. Do the required reading before lecture


    - the lectures assume you are familiar with the material

    2. Keep up -- dont get behind!!

    3. Ask questions early if you dont understand things


    - in lecture ask!! also consult outside class.
    - discussion sections
    - office hours: schedule on course website.

    4. Problem solving develops and tests your conceptual


    understanding -- as well as your computational skill
    - this is how you can demonstrate what you have learned

    Electric Charge
    Two types!

    Opposite signs attract Like signs repel

    Charges do not have to be in contact to interact

    Properties of Electric Charge


    2(+1) types: positive, negative (+ neutral*).
    Unit: Coulomb (C). 1 C= chg of 6.24x1018 protons
    Building blocks of matter:

    Charge (C) Mass (kg)


    Electron -e=-1.602x10-19 9.11x10-31
    Proton +e=+1.602x10-19 1.673x10-27
    Neutron 0 1.675x10-27

    Electric charge is quantized: q=Ne (e=1.602x10-19 C)


    Electric charge of isolated system is conserved
    *Neutral: no charge or equal amount of + and -

    6
    Conductors v. Insulators
    Consider how charge is carried on macroscopic objects.
    In Physics 202, we are concerned with only 2 types:

    +++
    + ++++ Insulators (glass, plastic, rubber):
    -
    - - - --
    charges NOT free to move

    Conductors (metals):

    ++
    charges free to move
    +
    + +
    ++ +
    charge also by induction!
    (phenomenon: polarization)
    Electroscope

    Coulombs Law
    Electric Force between two point charges:
    Direction of force:
    forces between opposite sign charges are attractive
    forces between like sign charges are repulsive

    + - - + + + - -
    Magnitude of force:

    q1 q2
    F12 = F21 = k e (Coulombs Law)
    r2

    Coulomb Constant: ke = 8.987x109Nm2/C2 = 1/(40)


    0: permitivity of free space (Ch. 26)

    Gravitational v. Electric Force
    Proton and electron in a hydrogen atom:
    qe = !1.6 " 10 !19 C q p = 1.6 ! 10 "19 C r = 5.3 ! 10 "11 m
    "8
    FE = 8.2 ! 10 N
    The electric force is huge!
    Compared to mass of proton: 1.673x10-27 kg
    Compared to gravitational force b/w proton+electron:
    Gm1m2
    FG = 3.6 ! 10 "47 N (recall: FG = )
    r2

    Four fundamental forces:


    Strong > Electromagnetic > Weak >> Gravitation

    Coulombs Law: Vector Form


    ! qq
    Force on q2 by q1: F12 = ke 1 2 2 r12 r
    r
    ! qq !
    Force on q1 by q2: F21 = ke 1 2 2 r21 = ! F12 r12
    r
    Exercise: use this vector form to verify
    attractive/repulsive feature of Coulombs law

    More than two charges:


    Principle of Linear superposition
    ! ! ! !
    Fi = F1i + F2i + F3i + ...
