Electrostatic Force and Electric Charge

Electrostatic Force (charges at rest):
Electrostatic force can be attractive q1 q2 Electrostatic force can be repulsive Electrostatic force acts through empty r space Electrostatic force much stronger than gravity Electrostatic forces are inverse square law forces (proportional to 1/r2) Electrostatic force is proportional to the product of the amount of charge on each interacting object

Magnitude of the Electrostatic Force is given by Coulomb's Law: F = K q1q2/r2 (Coulomb's Law)

where K depends on the system of units K = 8.99x109 Nm2/C2 (in MKS system) K = 1/(40) where 0 = 8.85x10-12 C2/(Nm2)

Electric Charge:
electron charge = -e proton charge = e e = 1.6x10-19 C C = Coulomb

Electric charge is a conserved quantity (net electric charge is never created or destroyed!)

The Electric Field

+Q q E

The charge Q produces an electric field which in turn produces a force on the charge q. The force on q is expressed as two terms:

F = K qQ/r2 = q (KQ/r2) = q E
The electric field at the point q due to Q is simply the force per unit positive charge at the point q:

E = F/q

E = KQ/r2

The units of E are Newtons per Coulomb (units = N/C). The electric field is a physical object which can carry both momentum and energy. It is the mediator (or carrier) of the electric force. The electric field is massless.

Solution:
The total energy of the particle at A and B is

Setting EA = EB (energy conservation) yields

Electric & Magnetic Fields that Change with Time

Changing Magnetic Field Produces an Electric Field:
B-out increasing with time

r E

A uniform magnetic field is confined to a circular region of radius, r, and is increasing with time. What is the direction and magnitude of the induced electric field at the radius r? Answer: If I choose my orientation to be counterclockwise then B = B(t)A with

A = r2. Faraday's Law of Induction tells us that

r r d B 2 dB E d l = 2 r E ( r ) = = r dt dt , Circle

and hence E(r) = -(r/2) dB/dt. Since dB/dt > 0 (increasing with time), E is negative which means that it points opposite my chosen orientation.

Traveling Waves
A "wave" is a traveling disturbance that transports energy but not matter. Constructing Traveling Waves:
To construct a wave with shape y = f(x) at time t = 0 traveling to the right with speed v simply make the replacement x x vt .

y = f(x) at time t=0

y = f(x-vt) v

x=0

Harmonic waves have the form y = A sin(kx) or y=Asin(kx) y = Acos(kx) at time t = 0, 1.0 where k is the "wave number" 0.5 (k = 2/ where is the "wave length") and A is the 0.0 "amplitude". To construct an -0.5 harmonic wave traveling to the -1.0 right with speed v, replace x by kx (radians) x-vt as follows: y = Asin(k(x-vt) = Asin(kx-t) where = kv (v = /k). The period of the oscillation, T = 2/ = 1/f, where f is the linear frequency (measured in Hertz where 1Hz = 1/sec) and is the angular frequency ( = 2f). The speed of propagation is given by v = /k = f .

The "R" or real side of a spherical mirror is the side of the mirror that the light exits and the other side is the "V" or virtual side. If the center of curvature lies on the R-side then the radius of curvature, R, is taken to be positive and if the center of curvature lies on the V-side then the radius of curvature, R, is taken to be negative.
Light Ray Exits R = Radius of Curvature C = Center of Curvature F = Focal Point V = Vertex

V-side

Convex Mirror

Focal Point: A light ray parallel to the principal axis will pass through the focal point, F, where F lies a distance f (focal length) from the vertex of the mirror. For spherical mirrors a good approximation is f = R/2.

Concave and Convex Mirrors: A concave mirror is one where the center of curvature lies on the R-side so the R > 0 and f > 0 and a convex mirror is one where the center of curvature lies on the V-side so that R < 0 and f < 0. concave f>0 convex f<0 Flat Mirror: A flat mirror is the limiting case where the radius R (and thus the local length f) become infinite.

The quantity is the "phase shift" between the two waves and k=2/ is the wave number.

Double Slit Interference

The simplest way to produce a phase shift a difference in the path length between the two wave sources, S1 and S2 is with a double slit. The point P is located on a screen that is a distance L away from the slits and the slits are separated by a distance d.
Double Slit
L1 S1 d S2 d sin L2

Double Slit
P L1 S1 d S2 L2

If L >> d then to a good approximation the path length difference is,

L = L2 L1 = d sin ,
and thus

Thin Film Interference

Thin film interference occurs when a thin layer of material (thickness T) with index of refraction n2 (the "film" layer) is sandwiched between two other mediums n1 and n2.
Incident Light 1 2

n1 "film" n2 2 n3 1 T

The overall phase shift between Phase Shift Condition Value the reflected waves 1 and 2 is n1 > n2 0 1 given by, n1 < n2 1 film/2 overall = 2T + 1 + 2 , n2 > n3 0 2 where it is assumed that the n2 < n3 2 film/2 incident light ray is nearly perpendicular to the surface and the phase shifts 1 and 2 are given the table.

Maximal Constructive Interference:

The condition for maximal constructive interference is where film = 0/n2, with 0 the vacuum wavelength.

overall = 2T + 1 + 2 = m film m = 0,1,2,K (max constructive)

Maximal Destructive Interference:

The condition for maximal destructive interference is

1 overall = 2T + 1 + 2 = m + film m = 0,1,2,K (max destructive) 2

Interference Problems

Double Slit Example:

Red light ( = 664 nm) is used with slits separated by d = 1.2x10-4 m. The screen is located a distance from the slits given by L = 2.75 m. Find the distance y on the screen between the central bright fringe and the third-order bright fringe. Answer: y = 0.0456 m

Thin Film Example:

A thin film of gasoline floats on a puddle of water. Sunlight falls almost perpendicularly on the film and reflects into your eyes. Although the sunlight is white, since it contains all colors, the film has a yellow hue, because destructive interference has occurred eliminating the color of blue ( 0 = 469 nm) from the reflected light. If ngas = 1.4 and nwater = 1.33, determine the minimum thickness of the film. Answer: Tmin = 168 nm
