Resources for PHY232
  • www.nscl.msu.edu/zegers/phy232.html
  • syllabus
  • lectures (pre and post lecture notes)
  • old exams
  • helproom hours
  • exam homework schedule
  • grading
  • homework is done in LON-CAPA
  • HITT clickers are used for extra credit
  • extra credit quizzes start week 3
  • 1 point for trying, 2 for correct answer
  • need to enroll in LON-CAPA
  • will use clicker frequently

Suggestions for studying
  • for each chapter make an overview (1-2 pages)
    based on the
  • lecture notes and textbook. Do not only
    include equations, but also
  • main conceptual points. Try not to fall
    behind.
  • after making the overview, start doing the
    lon-capa, using just the overview.
  • if you cant do a problem using the overview,
    refer back to the lectures/book and update your
    overview
  • use the guide for doing the homework problems
    provided in the lectures to cut down on the time
    to start a problem.
  • if you get stuck (or it takes long to get started
    with a problem), go to the helproom or use the
    comments from others in lon-capa (but make sure
    to try yourself first!).
  • The helproom is not only for homework go with
    broader questions as well.

suggestions II
  • by the time an exam comes, you have good and
    tested overviews of each chapter which you can
    use to make your equation sheet.
  • test for weaknesses with the old exams/review
    problems/book problems. Review the lon-capa.
  • if you have trouble with units/conversions/math
    etc add to your equation sheet.
  • memorizing lon-capa problems will likely not get
    you very far.
  • If you feel that your efforts are not paying off
    (spending a lot of time but get poor scores),
    contact me. Dont wait until late in the
    semester.
  • phy232 is a bit different from phy231 or
    equivalent course in the sense that the concepts
    are harder to visualize.

electric charges
  • There are 2 types of charges
  • positive (basic carrier proton)
  • negative (basic carrier electron)
  • In atoms, the nucleus consists of
  • protons (positive)
  • neutrons (neutral)
  • And is surrounded by a cloud of electrons
    (negative)
  • If the atom is not ionized, it is neutral.
  • By removing electrons, it becomes ionized and
    positively charged, since there are more protons
    than electrons
  • Note that the mass of the electron is much
    smaller than that of the proton and neutron

question
  • A neutral atom has
  • more neutrons than protons
  • more protons than electrons
  • the same number of neutrons and protons
  • the same number of protons and electrons
  • the same number of neutrons, electrons and protons
  • answer d)
  • The protons have positive charge.
  • The electrons have negative charge
  • The neutrons are neutral.
  • The total charge of an atoms is thus
  • eNprotons -eNelectrons
  • For this to be zero, NprotonsNelectrons

7
Charged objects
  • Like charges repel each other

-
-

  • Unlike charges attract each other

8
Conservation of charge
  • In a closed system, charge is conserved. This
    means that charge is not created but rather
    transferred from one object to another.
  • Charge is quantized there are only discrete
    amounts of charge. The electron carries one unit
    of negative charge (-e) and the proton carries
    one unit of positive charge (e).

9
conductors
  • In conductors (I.e. consisting of conducting
    materials) electric charge can move freely. The
    resistivity against the flow of charge is very
    small
  • example metals e.g. Copper one of the electrons
    can move freely.

10
insulators semiconductors
  • In insulators, charge can not move freely. The
    resistivity against the flow of charge is very
    high
  • Semiconductors are materials whose properties are
    in between that of conductors and insulators.
  • What makes a material a conductor/insulator?
  • Depends on the shell structure of the atoms
    involved. We will discuss this later!

  • a large negatively charged block is placed on an
    insulated table. A neutral metal ball (A) is
    rolled towards it and stops before it hits the
    block. Then, a second neutral metal ball (B) is
    rolled towards ball (A). After the collision,
    ball A stops closer to the block (but without
    touching) and ball B stops further away from the
    block. The block is then removed. What is the
    final charge on balls A and B?
  • Ball A is positive, ball B is negative
  • Ball A is negative, ball B is positive
  • Both ball remain neutral
  • Both balls are positive

answer
15
Coulombs law - 1785
  • Coulombs law
  • directed along the line joining the two objects
  • is attractive if the charges have the opposite
    sign
  • is repulsive if the charge if the same sign
  • ke Coulomb constant8.9875x109 Nm2/C2
  • ?01/(4 ?ke)8.85x10-12 C2/(Nm2)
  • to be used later

16
superposition principle
  • When more than 1 charge acts on the charge of
    interest, each exerts an electric force. Each can
    be computed separately and then added as vectors
  • in this case F13 and F23 are along the same line
    and can be added as number, but be careful with
    the sign!
  • example q11nC, q22nC, q3-2nC, what is the net
    force on q3 ? r13r231m

  • if A and C are positive, B is pushed away from A
    and C
  • if A and B are positive, A and B will move
    further apart
  • if A is neutral and C is positive, B will move
    along the line BC
  • if A,B and C have the same charge, they will
    separate further
  • answers
  • false, if B is negative it will move towards A
    and C
  • false, if C is negative and the absolute charge
    much larger than A and B, A and B could come
    closer
  • false, B might be neutral and not move at all

electric fields
  • Instead of a force acting on an object A by an
    object B somehow magically over the distance
    between them, one can consider that object A is
    situated in a field arising from the presence of
    object B.
  • Because object A is in the field created by
    object B, it feels a force
  • The electric field produced by a charge Q at the
    location of a small test charge q0 is defined as

The magnitude of E only depends on the charge of
Q and not the sign and size of the test charge

    point 3, due to the presence of two other charges
    1 and 2, use the superposition principle.

question
  • 2 charges equal in magnitude are lined up as
    shown in the figures. A third point (no charge) P
    is defined as well. In which case is the
    magnitude of the electric field at P largest? The
    distance between neighboring points is constant.

electric field lines
  • To visualize electric fields, one can draw field
    lines that point in the direction of the field at
    any point following the following rules
  • The electric field vector E is tangent to the
    electrical field lines at each point
  • The number of lines per unit area through a
    surface perpendicular to the lines is
    proportional to the field strength
  • field lines start from a positive charge
  • field lines end at a negative charge
  • field lines never cross

28
electric field lines II
  • Following these rules one can draw the field
    lines for any system of charged objects

conductors
  • In the absence of any external charges, an
    insulated conductor is in equilibrium, which
    means
  • the electric field is zero everywhere in the
    conductor
  • since net field would result in motion of charge
  • excess charge resides on the surface
  • since electric force 1/r2 excess charge is
    repelled
  • the field just outside the conductor is
    perpendicular to the surface
  • otherwise charge would move over the surface
  • charge accumulates where the curvature of the
    surface is smallest
  • charges move apart more at flatter surfaces

33
Millikan oil-drop experiment I
No E-field (battery off) mgkv k drag constant
(known) so mkv/g
  • Consider first the case where the battery was
    switched off.
  • Oil droplets will fall and reach a constant
    velocity v which
  • can be measured.
  • At this velocity, the gravitational force
    balances the
  • frictional (drag) force which equals kdragx
    velocity.
  • From this the mass of the droplet can be
    determined.
  • Now the E-field is switched on

34
Millikans oil drop experiment II
E
The droplets are negatively charged. By tuning E
one can suspend them in air. If that happens the
electrical force balances the gravitational
force and qEmg. Millikan found qmg/En 1.6E-19
and thus discovered that charge was
quantized Nobel prize 1923!
35
Electric flux
  • The number of field lines (N) through a surface
    (A) is proportional to the electric field NEA
  • The flux ?EA (Nm2/C)
  • If the field lines make an angle with the
    surface
  • ?EAcos? where ? is the angle between the field
    lines and the normal to the surface
  • For field lines going through a closed surface
    (like a sphere), field lines entering the
    interior are negative and those leaving the
    interior are positive

36
Gauss Law
  • Consider a point charge q. Imagine a sphere with
    radius r surrounding the charge. The E-field and
    flux anywhere on the sphere are
  • It can be proven that this holds for any closed
    surface
  • Gauss Law

38
question
A point charge q is located at the center of a
spherical shell with radius a and charge q
uniformly distributed over its surface. What is
the E-field a) anywhere outside the shell and b)
at a point inside the shell at distance r
from the center.

  • draw a Gaussian surface around the sphere and
    apply Gauss Law EQinside/(?A)0 since
    Qinsideq-q0
  • draw a Gaussian surface around the q charge, but
    inside the shell at distance r from q and apply
    Gauss Law
  • EQinside/(?A) -q/(?0 4?r2)-keq/r2 I.e.
    field points inward

39
question
A point charge q is located at the center of a
spherical shell with radius a and charge 2q
uniformly distributed over its surface. What is
the E-field a) anywhere outside the shell and b)
how much charge resides on the inner and outer
surface of the shell?
-
  • draw a Gaussian surface around the sphere and
    apply Gauss Law EQinside/(?A)-q/(?A) since
    Qinside-q2qq
  • inner surface charge much balance the charge
    placed in the center (-q) so q. The remainder
    of the charge wants to move away as far as
    possible outer surface (q). No charge is
    present in the shell.
