Coulomb’s Law (1783)�

Charge can be + or – � Like charges repel� Opposite charges attract �

For:� q1 = q2 = 1 Coul� r = 1 meter� F = 8.988 x 109 Nt �

That’s a huge Force! �Enough to levitate about 5000, 200 ton locomotives! �

Problem: Coulomb’s Law �When you are unpacking objects packed in styrofoam “peanuts” the peanuts usually stick to everything! How many electrons would there need to be on a styrofoam peanut of size 1 cm3 to be picked up by your hand from a distance of 5 cm? Assume that the styrofoam peanut and your hand both have the same amount of charge on them, but with opposite signs. (the density of styrofoam is about 0.035 gram/cm3 and the Earth’s gravitational acceleration is g = 9.8 m/sec2. �

1 Coulomb is a lot of charge! "��1897  –  J.J.  Thompson  discovered  that  charge  comes  in  

“corpuscles”  –  electrons

Electric Field between two charged plates�

Electric Potential (Voltage)�

The charge is moving in the direction of the E-field force. �àThe E field does work on the charge (adds energy). �à So we say that the charge moves from a higher to a lower electric potential.�

The charge is moving against the direction of the E-field force. �àWork must be done to move the charge against the force (spend energy). �à So we say that the charge moves from a lower to a higher electric potential.�

V1 �∆V = V2 – V1 �

Work  done  by  the  Electric  field  to  bring  a  charge    from  potenQal  V2  to  V1  

W = q∆V = q(V2 – V1)�

+Q � -Q �

Page 8: W1 L2 Slides Final

So, if q is positive and V2 > V1 the field does work (adds energy) to the charge.�

If q is positive and V2 < V1 we have to do work to move the charge.�

Only the difference in potential matters – we can set the zero of voltage any place we wish. �

So rather than writing ∆V we just use V for the voltage (potential) difference between two points.�

A first simple circuit: how much current flows through R?�

I  =  V  /  R  

Voltage  across  R  is  V  so    by  Ohm’s  law  

Kirchoff’s  Voltage  Law:  The  sum  of  the  voltages  in  going  around  a  closed  path  in  a  circuit  is  zero.

Start at the point a and proceed clockwise.�Voltage increases by V (go from – to +)�Then voltage drops across resistor (+ to -) ��

V – IR = 0�

V = IR à I = V/R �

This is a lot of formality just to retrieve Ohm’s Law! ��

Logarithmic vs. linear potentiometer�

Page 14: W1 L2 Slides Final

Why do we use logarithmic pots for volume control?�

Human perception of loudness is logarithmic.�

Loudness perception �is subjective! �

To double perceived loudness the sound pressure level must increase by a factor of about 2.8, which is about (9 decibels). �

Kirchoff’s Current Law �

The sum of all currents entering or leaving a node of a circuit is zero.�

i1  

i2  

i3  Pick a consistent convention: � current flowing into node is positive� current flowing out of node is negative�

i1 + i2 – i3 = 0�

Charge is neither destroyed or created in a circuit.��What goes in must come out.�
