Charges are part of atoms 5

�  All charges available must be integral multiples of “e”

Charge electron - e proton +e neutron 0

elementary charge e = 1.6 x 10-19 coulomb (C)

To visualize, think of coulomb in terms of electrons or protons

6

�  1 C equals �  A charge 1 C has 6.25 × 1018 protons more than electrons

�  -1 C equals �  A charge -1 C has 6.25 × 1018 electrons more than protons

Natural phenomena of electrostatics

Ancient people observed that, after rubbing, some materials attract lightweight objects

8

�  Example: ¡  rub amber (ยางสน) and fur together ¡  amber will attract fur

� The word electricity is derived from the Greek word for amber ήλεκτρον (elektron)

Page 3: Topics Module M2-1 2 Electrical Engineeringwebstaff.kmutt.ac.th/~watcharapan.suw/class/M2-1/lec/M2-2-R-c.pdf · LECTURE 2 COULOMB’S LAW AND ELECTRIC FIELD INTENSITY AUGUST 18, 2016

Scientists were so interested in this phenomenon that they made a table of what attracts what

9

�  This table, known as the triboelectric series, first appeared in 1757 (around the end of Ayutthaya period)

amber

glass

silk

wool

... ...

...

The further away the materials, the more attraction

When rubbed, electrons move from top material to bottom

top becomes + bottom becomes -

Example: At the beginning, silk and glass rod are charge-neutral

10

�  because for each matter, the number of electrons and protons are equal

SILK

Glass Rod

As the glass rod is rubbed against silk, electrons are pulled off the glass onto the silk

11

SILK

Glass Rod

- +

�  A chemical bond called adhesion is formed between some parts of the two surfaces

�  Electrons move from one material to the other to equalize their electrochemical potential

The silk has an excess of electrons and the rod has a deficit

In Lecture 4, we will cover dielectric and conductor (ตัวนำไฟฟ้า) in detail

Electrons move easily in a conductor and rarely move in a dielectric

14

Dielectric (ฉนวนไฟฟ้า) Conductor (ตัวนำไฟฟ้า)

Electrons are bound in orbit to the nucleus in each atom

Electrons can easily move from atom to atom

When charge is placed on a dielectric, it stays undistributed in one region

When a charge is placed on a conductor, it redistributes to the outer surface.

Examples: wood, plastic, glass, air, cloth

Examples: metals (copper, gold, and aluminum)

Polarization is the separation of charges 15

�  In a conductor, “free” electrons can move around the surface of the material ¡  leaving one side positive and the other side negative

conductor (metal can)

(continued) Polarization 16

�  In a dielectric, the electrons “realign” themselves within the atom (or molecule) ¡  leaving one side of the atom positive and the other side of the

atom negative

atom of a dielectric

The experimental law of Couloumb

Coulomb is a French physicist

�  Charles-Augustin de Coulomb ¡  born 1736 – deceased 1806

¡  His life overlaps with the reign of King Rama 1 – King Rama 4

�  He is best known for developing Coulomb's law �  The SI unit of electric charge, the coulomb, was

named after him.
