Electric Charge and Force

Electricity 5

Electric Charge

• Electrical property of matter

• Creates a force between objects

• Positive or Negative

Electricity 6

Electric Charge

• Opposite charges

• Attract

• Like charges

• Repel

Electricity 8

Electrical Charge

• Depends on the imbalance of electrons and protonso Protons = positiveo Electrons = negativeo Neutron = neutral

• Leads to a net charge

Electricity 10

Coulomb

• SI unit for charge

• Proton = +1.6 x 10-19 C

• Electron = -1.6 x 10-19C

• Charges are equal and opposite

Electricity 11

Flow of Charge

• Conductoro Material that

transfers charge easily

• Insulatoro Material that

does not transfers charge easily

Electricity 12

Charging by Contact

• Electrons move from the rod to the doorknob

Electricity 13

Charging by Contact

• Transfer of electrons

• Gives the doorknob a negative charge

Electricity 14

• Induces a positive charge near the rod• Induces a negative charge away from

the rod

Induced Charges

Induced Charges

Electricity 17

Charging by Friction

• When rubbed together electrons can be transferred from one material to the other

• material that gets the electrons becomes negatively charged

• material that loses the electrons becomes positively charged

Electricity 18

Electric Force• The force of attraction or repulsion

between objects

• Due to charge

• Without electric force life would be impossible

• Depends on charge and distance

Electricity 19

Electric Force• Proportional to the product of

the charges

• Inversely proportional to the distance between them squared

• Equation: F = q1 q2 /[4o r2 ]

Electricity 21

Electric Field

•Produced around charged particles

•Other charged objects around will experience an electric force

•Electric force acts through electric fields

Electricity 23

Point Charges

• Electric field lines point in the direction of the electric force on a positive charge

Electricity 24

Point Charges

• Positive is attracted to negative

• Electric Field lines point inward

Electricity 25

Electric Field Lines

• Show direction of electric force

• Also show relative strength

Electricity 44

Electrical Resistance

• What is the voltage from the wall? o 120 V

• What is the power of a bulb?

40W, 60W, 100W

Electricity 46

Electrical Resistance

• Causes changes in current• Caused by internal friction• Slows the movement of charges through collisions• Collisions can cause material to

heat up

Electricity 47

Electrical Resistance(Ohm’s Law)

• Resistance = voltage/current

• R = V / I = V / A = Ohm
