Aims
To understand and be able to predict the motion of charged objects and dipoles in the presence of electric fields. To understand the three fundamental symmetries (translation, rotation, and reflection). To understand that symmetries which apply to charged objects also apply to the shape of their electric field. To understand the concept of electric flux, and be able to calculate the flux through a surface. To know the definition of the direction of positive flux through a closed surface.

Motion of charged particles in an E-field

The electric field exerts a force: on a charged particle. If this was the only force acting on q, it causes the charged particle to accelerate with:
In a uniform field, the acceleration is constant:

analogous to constant acceleration due to gravity g near the Earths surface

Dipoles in an electric field

Torque rotates dipole to align to electric field. The net force on the dipole is then always in the direction of increasing field magnitude. Dipoles experience a net force towards any charged object.

Optical dipole traps

The dipole force allows trapping of neutral particles in regions of high electric field strength, such as at the focus of an intense laser beam. E.g. optical tweezers: important technique in biology for investigating the properties of DNA and understanding the properties of cells.

Optical dipole traps have also become an important tool for research in the areas of ultra-cold atoms and quantum computing.
