• Register for PHY222 (labs) if you haven’t already!!!‣ PHY212 and PHY222 are separate courses.
‣ PHY222 IS A REQUIRED CO-REQUISITE COURSE
‣ PHY222 will NOT be meeting this week (Instructor: Sam Sampere)
• Let’s review the course syllabus:
https://msoderbe.expressions.syr.edu/phy212-s14/files/2014/01/PHY212_Spring2014_Syllabus.pdf
• I will post course content in both Blackboard and on http://msoderbe.expressions/syr.edu/phy212-s14 . I will put lecture slides and recordings on the expressions site, usually the same day of the lecture.
Homework and Recitations
3
•You should have received your first HW assignments today.‣HW0 is a questionnaire. Complete by your Friday recitation, and you get a 100%.
‣HW1 has your Mastering Physics assignment for the week.
•You will work in groups of 3 or 4 during recitation (a.k.a. - workshops) on selected problems. One group member will present their solution to the whole section. All problems assigned during recitation are fair game for quizzes/exams.•Read the relevant textbook sections before recitation.•Your recitation grade is based on attendance and participation. •TAs will discuss further details with you when you start tomorrow!•Show up for your recitations prepared - Bring calculator, textbook, paper, pencil, etc... (Note: WF 9:30-10:25AM M010 section is not held in the Physics building!).

Lecture 1.1 : Introduction to Electric Charge
Lecture Outline:Motivation
Model of Electric ChargeInsulators and Conductors
Textbook Reading:Ch. 25.1 - 25.3
Motivation
5
The study of Electricity and Magnetism in modern form has been around for over 100 years. Perfect example of how studying something esoteric can revolutionize the word.
Motivation
6
•Our natural world is awash in electric and magnetic phenomena.
•Understanding this phenomena, and developing theories of it that can be applied in other domains, is the bread and butter of many scientists.
Why are Electricity and Magnetism important?
Motivation
7
Applications of Electricity and Magnetism are too vast to enumerate...all of you probably have at least one
electronic device on you right now!
Why are Electricity and Magnetism important?
Motivation
8
The theoretical underpinnings of electromagnetism are quite beautiful, and helped lead scientists down the path to our
present-day understanding of “modern physics”.

What are the overall goals for this course?
1.To develop a basic understanding of the laws of electromagnetism.2.To develop the ability to apply these new concepts to physical situations.3.To develop an appreciation for the role that electromagnetism plays both
in our modern society and in the universe.

CLICKERS!
10
1. Determine how well you are following the subject matter.
2. Keep you awake. If you answer (most) clicker questions, and you answer them (mostly) correctly, final grade is boosted. Maximum of 2% boost to final course grade if you do well.
I will be using data obtained from your answers to clicker questions to:
CLICKERS!
11
1. Register your clickers using Blackboard: https://answers.syr.edu/display/blackboard01/Registering+a+TurningPoint+Clicker+in+Blackboard
2. We will be using channel 41 for clicker polls. At beginning of lecture, press: “Ch+4+1+Ch” on your clicker.

Model of Electric Charge

We discover electric charge at a young age

Model of Electric Charge
15
1.Friction/rubbing can sometimes charge an object.2.There are only two kinds of charge. 3.Two objects of like charge (plastic/plastic or glass/glass) repel each other. Two objects of unlike charge (plastic/glass) attract each other.4.The magnitude of the force increases as the quantity of charge increases, and decreases as the distance between the charges increase.
If we did a systematic study of electric charge and its properties, we would find:
Model of Electric Charge
16
Electric Charge is a property of matter.
• e = fundamental unit of electric charge (not defined yet).
• Protons are TIGHTLY bound in nucleus – they don’t go anywhere.
• Electrons are more loosely bound.
• Object Charge (q) = Npe - Nee = (Np-Ne)e
Model of Electric Charge
18
Electric Charge is conserved.
• The algebraic sum (taking the + or – sign into account) of all electric charges in any closed system is constant.
• Electrons and protons are not created out of nothing, or destroyed into nothing.
• Neutral objects have no net charge.
Clicker Question #2
19
Before charging, both rods have identical mass.
After charging:A) plastic (on the left) has more massB) glass (on the right) has more massC) both have identical mass
Clicker Question #2
19
Before charging, both rods have identical mass.
After charging:A) plastic (on the left) has more massB) glass (on the right) has more massC) both have identical mass
Insulators and Conductors
20
• Conductor – electrons move easily from one part of material to another (examples: copper wire, many metals, graphite,...)
• Insulator – electrons are relatively fixed in place, can be moved with effort (examples: rubber, glass, plastics, air,...)
Insulators and Conductors

Clicker Question #3
22
What happens when a charged object is brought near an isolated neutral conductor
(such as a soda can)?
A) NothingB) Soda can is attracted to objectC) Soda can is repelled from object
Clicker Question #3

What happens when a charged object is brought near an isolated neutral conductor
(such as a soda can)?
A) NothingB) Soda can is attracted to objectC) Soda can is repelled from object
Insulators and Conductors
23
Excess charges within a conductor quickly arrange themselves to achieve electrostatic equilibrium.
The neutral conductor becomes polarized.
Insulators and Conductors
24
How do neutral insulators respond when a charged object is brought nearby?
Charge does not easily move around in an insulator, so this must be different than what happens for conductors.
Insulators and Conductors
25
The individual atoms within an insulator become polarized when a charged object is brought
nearby , forming an electric dipole.
Since the charged object pulls more on the opposite-sign end than it pushes on the same-
sign end, there is an overall attractive force.
