PPT-Chapter 32: Electrostatics

Examples of Electrostatics in the world are A doorknob shock Static in the dryer Your hair standing up when combed What is electrostatics 644 Electricity at rest Involves electrical charges the forces between them and their behavior in materials. 1 Electric and 64257elds 1 111 Electrostatic Force 1 112 Uniform electric 64257elds Conductors. Prof. Hugo . Beauchemin. 1. Introduction. We have seen most of the powerful concepts needed to understand electrostatics. W. e now turn to concrete applications, solving the equations. we saw for various types of system encountered in experiments . F 1 exerted by q1 , the force F 2 exerted by q2 , and the force F 3exerted by q3 on Q. separation distance, on their velocities and on their accelerations. In this Chapter we will the force acting 2007–2008 Workshop Materials Special Focus: Electrostatics 3 A Note from the Editor Peggy Bertrand Oak Ridge High School Oak Ridge, TN One of the most di cult areas of physics to learn, and How do you find the area of a triangle?. This was the most missed question on the test…. DO WORK. STOP. Objectives. Investigate the majesty of electricity so you can soon control lightning like Zeus.. (Ch. 20). What is electrostatics?. The study of STATIC ELECTRICITY.. Static electricity is electrical charges that can be collected and/or held in one place.. This is different from . current electricity. Also Known As. Static Electricity. Chemistry Refresher. Atom. the basic unit that makes up all . matter. Made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Chemistry Refresher. Proton. Part of an atom that has a positive charge. October 2012. Objectives.. To understand the basic properties of electric charge.. To describe the difference between conductors and insulators.. To calculate the electric force using . Coulumb’s. Law.. Prior Knowledge. How have you experienced the effects of static electricity?. Electrical Nature of Matter.

Question Title. Coulomb's Law : . Coulomb's Law states that the force between two point charges Q. 1. and Q. 2. is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them..
