Magnetic Field

  • Any region of space where a moving charge feels a force
  • Moving charges generate a magnetic field around themselves (see right hand screw rule)
  • Unit for magnetic field is the Tesla (T)

Electrical Current
Current is the rate of flow of charge


I = Δq/Δt




Voltage
Voltage (Potential Difference) is the change in energy (work done) to each coulomb of charge between two points on a circuit, or two points across an electric field


V = ΔE/q

Homework

  • Ex 6A, p. 188-196, Electric Fields

Millikan's Oil Drop Experiment
  • An oil drop balanced between the plates has a net force of zero
  • thus the gravitational weight force is equal and opposite to the electric force
  • thus mg = Eq and the charge on the oil drop can be calculated

Definition of an Electric Field:

“Any region of space where a charge feels a force.”

Electric field lines are generated by charges. The closer the field lines are together, the stronger the electric field


Uniform Electric Field

E = V/d

E: Electric Field (Vm-1 or NC-1 depending on the context used)

Electric Force

Fe = Eq
Fe: Electrical Force (N)
q or Q: Charge (C)



Electrical Charge

Electrical Potential Energy
As the charge falls through the Electric Field, the electrical potential energy transforms into kinetic energy.
Ek = Ep
½ mv2 = Vq
