Properties of Electric charge
• Electric charge and electric forces play a major role in determining the behavior of the universe.
• The building blocks of matter, electrons and protons, have a property called electric charge. Electric charge is observed to have following characteristics; – An electric charge has a polarity; that is,
either positive or negative. Like charges repeal each other and opposite charges attract. (Benjamin Franklin model)
– An electric charge is conserved. It cannot be created or destroyed. We obtain charge by separating neutral object into a negative piece and positive piece.
– Charge is quantized (Robert Milikan model) and q is symbol for charge. It is always observed to occur as an integer of multiple of e (e=1.60 x 10-19 coulomb)
Insulators and Conductors• Electrical conductors are materials in which electric
charges move freely, whereas electrical insulators are materials in which electric charges cannot move freely.
• Examples of conductors : metals, plasmas, liquids containing ions (sulfuric acid, blood, salt Water). On the other hand vacuum, glass, distilled water paper and rubber are the kinds of insulators.
• Semi conductor are a third class of materials, and their electrical properties are somewhere between those of insulators and those of conductors. Silicon and germanium are well-known examples of semiconductors commonly used in the fabrication of a variety of electronic device
Coulomb’s Law
• Coulomb law is the law describing the relationship between electric forces and charge object.
• Stated by Charles Coulomb as conclusion of coulomb’s torsion balance experiment, this law confirm that the electric force between two stationary charged particles– is inversely proportional to the square of the
separation r between the particles and directed along the line joining them
– is proportional to the product of the charges q1 and q2 on the two particles;
– is attractive if the charges are of opposite sign and repulsive if the charges have the same sign
WhereF= Electric force (N)Ke= coulomb constantQ = charge (C)R = distance between two charge (m)
This constant is also written in the form
Example• The electron and proton of a hydrogen atom are
separated (on the average) by a distance of approximately 5.3 x10-11 m. Find the magnitudes of the electric force

The Electric Field
• Electric field is one of way to describe electric effects. Developed by Michael Faraday, it is said to exist in the region of space around the a charge object.
• When another charged object enters this electric field, an electric force act on it
• The electric field is a vector field, and at every point in space it has a magnitude and direction. The magnitude of (=strength) of electric field at the location of the test charge to be the electric force per unit charge, or to be more specific the electric field E at a point in space is defined as the electric force Fe acting on a positive test charge qo placed at that point divided by the magnitude of the test charge:
E=Electric field (N/C)

Description of electric field
Electric field lines• We can visualize electric field by means of
electric field lines or line of force.• These lines sprout out of positive charges
(positive charge as a sources of electric field), and they end on negative electric charge (negative as a sink)
• At a given point, the electric field direction is tangent to the electric field line passing through that point, and the magnitude of the electric field at point is proportional to the density of lines (the number per unit area measured in a plane perpendicular to the E line)

Electric field at a field point
• By comparing coulomb law equation and the electric field equation we can find the electric field of a point charge q at a field point a distance r from the charge
• E=Fe/qo E=kqoQ/r2/q = kQ/r2

Dipole in the an electric field
• When an electric dipole is placed in an electric field it tends to line up with its axis parallel to the field. If it is not parallel to the field, it experiences a torque (, associated with this torque is potential energy U, where; = p x E = pEsinU = p.E = pEcos
