Electrical Energy and Capacitance
Work
•Recall: A force is conservative if the work done on
an object when moving from A to B does not depend
on the path followed. Consequently, work was
defined as:
W=PEi-PEf=-PE
• Work done BY gravity decreases PE.
•This was derived for a gravitational force, but as
we saw in the previous chapter, gravitational and
Coulomb forces are very similar:
Fg=Gm1m2/r122 with G=6.67x10-11 Nm2/kg2
Fe=keq1q2/r122 with ke=8.99x109 Nm2/C2
Hence: The Coulomb force is a conservative force.
Work & Potential Energy
•consider a charge +q moving
in an E field from A to B over
a distance d. We can ignore
gravity (why?).
•What is the work done by
the field?
•What is the change in PE?
•If initially at rest, what is
its speed at B?
•WAB=Fdcos ;  = 0, so
•WAB=Fd
•WAB=qEd (since F=qE)
•work done BY the field ON
the charge (W is positive)
• PE=-WAB=-qEd : negative,
so the potential energy has
decreased.
•Conservation of energy:
•PE+KE=0
•KE=1/2m(vf2-vi2)
•1/2mvf2=qEd
•v=(2qEd/m)
work & potential energy II
•WAB=-qEd ; negative, so work
•Consider the same situation
for a charge of –q.
•Can it move from A to B
without an external force
being applied, assuming the
charge is initially (A) and
finally (B) at rest?
must be done by the charge.
This can only happen if an
external force is applied.
•Note: if the charge had an
initial velocity the energy
could come from the kinetic
energy (I.e. it would slow
down)
•If the charge is at rest at A
and B: external work done: qEd
•If the charge has final
velocity v then external work
done:
W=1/2mvf2+|q|Ed
Conclusion
•In the absence of external forces, a positive charge
placed in an electric field will move along the field
lines (from + to -) to reduce the potential energy
•In the absence of external forces, a negative
charge placed in an electric field will move along the
field lines (from - to +) to reduce the potential
energy

depending on which path is taken from P to Q? a) yes b) no c) depends on
whether the velocity of the charge at Q is different depending on the path
d) depends on the external forces applied

•a negatively charged (-1 C) mass of 1 g is shot diagonally in an electric
field created by a negatively charge plate (E=100 N/C). It starts at 2 m
distance from the plate and stops 1 m from the plate, before turning back.
What was the initial velocity in the direction along the field lines?
answer
•Note: the direction along the surface of the plate does not
play a role(there is no force in that direction!)
Kinetic energy balance
•Initial kinetic energy: 1/2mv2=0.5*0.001*(vx2+vy2)
•Final (at turning point) kinetic energy: 0.5*0.001*vx2
•Change in kinetic energy: KE=-0.5*0.001*vy2 =-5x10-4vy2
Potential energy balance
•Change in Potential energy: PE=-qEd=1x10-6*100*1=+10-4 J
•Conservation of energy: PE+KE=0
•vy=0.44 m/s
so -5x10-4vy2+10-4=0
Electrical potential
•The change in electrical potential energy of a particle of charge Q in a
field with strength E over a distance d depends on the charge of the
particle: PE=-QEd
•For convenience, it is useful to define the difference in electrical
potential between two points (V), that is independent of the charge that
is moving: V=
PE/Q=-|E|d
•The electrical potential difference has units [J/C] which is usually
referred to as Volt ([V]). It is a scalar
•Since V= -Ed, so E= -V/d the units of E ([N/C] before) can also be given
as [V/m]. They are equivalent, but [V/m] is more often used.

•the potential at a distance r away from a charge +q is the work done in
bringing a charge of 1 C from infinity (V=0) to the point r: V=keq/r
•If the charge that is creating the potential is negative (-q) then V=-keq/r
•If the field is created by more than one charge, then the superposition
principle can be used to calculate the potential at any point

ke(1/r2+2/[1-r]2) Note the -: E is a vector

PE=-WAB=-qEd, so the potential energy decreases (proton is
positive)
V= PE/q, so the electric potential that the proton feels
decreases
Note: if the proton were exchanged for an electron moving in the
same direction, the potential energy would increase (electron is
negative), but the electric potential would still decrease since the
latter is independent of the particle that is moving in the field
example
•a particle (q1) with a charge of +4.5C is fixed in space. From
a distance of 3.70 cm, a particle (q2) of mass 6.9 g and charge
–3.10 C is fired with initial velocity of 60 m/s towards to
fixed charge. What is its velocity when it is 1 cm away from
q1?
Use conservation of energy: KE+PE=0
At the start: PE=q2V=q2 x (keq1/r)=-3.39 J (r=0.037 cm)
At collision: PE=q2V=q2 x (keq1/r)=-12.55 J (r=0.01 cm)
The potential energy has decreased (more negative), so
the kinetic energy has increased by (-3.39-(12.55))=9.16 J
KE=0.5mv2 so,
KEfinal-KEinitial=0.5x0.0069vfinal2-0.5x0.0069x602=9.16 J

12V
•The battery will transport charge from one plate to the other until the voltage
produced by the charge build-up is equal to the battery charge
•example: a 12V battery is connected to a capacitor of 10 nF. How much charge is
stored?
•answer Q=CV=10x10-9 x 12V=120 nC
•if the battery is replaced by a 300 V battery, and the capacitor is 2000F, how
much charge is stored?
•answer Q=CV=2000x10-6 x 300V=0.6C
•We will see later that this corresponds to 0.5CV2=90 J of energy, which is the
same as a 1 kg ball moving at a velocity of 13.4 m/s

At the points
the potential is fixed to
one value, say 12V at A and 0 V at B
This means that if the capacitances C1
and C2 are equal they must have the
same charge stored and the total charge stored
is Q=Q1+Q2.
•We can replace C1 and C2 with one equivalent capacitor:
Q1=C1V & Q2=C2V is replaced by: Q=CeqV
since Q=Q1+Q2 , C1V+C2V=CeqV so:
•Ceq=C1+C2
•This holds for any combination of parallel placed capacitances
Ceq=C1+C2+C3+…
•The equivalent capacitance is larger than each of the components

The voltage drop of 12V is over both
capacitors. V=V1+V2
The two plates enclosed in
are
not connected to the battery and must
be neutral on average. Therefore the
charge stored in C1 and C2 are the same
•we can again replace C1 and C2 with one equivalent capacitor but now we
start from:
V=V1+V2 so, V=Q/C1+Q/C2=Q/Ceq and thus: 1/Ceq=1/C1 + 1/C2
•This holds for any combination of in series placed capacitances
1/Ceq=1/C1+1/C2+1/C3+…
•The equivalent capacitor is smaller than each of the components

Given three capacitors of 1 nF, an capacitor can
be constructed that has minimally a capacitance
of:
a) 1/3 nF
b) 1 nF
c) 1.5 nF

The smallest possible is by putting the three in series:

Q
•the work done transferring a small amount Q from – to + takes an
amount of work equal to W=VQ
•At the same time, V is increased, since V=(Q+Q/C)
•The total work done when moving charge Q starting at V=0 equals:
W=1/2QV=1/2(CV)V=1/2CV2
•Therefore, the amount of energy stored in a capacitor equals:
EC=1/2CV2
example
•A parallel-plate capacitor is constructed with plate area of
0.40 m2 and a plate separation of 0.1mm. How much energy is
stored when it is charged to a potential difference of 12V?
answer:
First calculate C=0A/d=8.85x10-12 x 0.40 / 0.0001=3.54x1
Energy stored: E=1/2CV2=0.5x3.54x10-8x122=2.55x10-6 J
Now let’s assume a 2000F capacitor being charged with a
300V battery: E=1/2CV2=90J

•the charge density of one of the plates is defined as: =Q/A
•The equation C=0A/d assumes the area between the plates is
in vacuum (free space)
•If the space is replaced by an insulating material, the
constant 0 must be replaced by 0 where  (kappa) is the
dielectric constant for that material, relative to vacuum
•Therefore: C=0A/d
why does inserting a plate matter?
• molecules, such as water, can/is be polarized
• when placed in an E-field, the orient themselves along the field
lines; the negative plates attracts the positive side of the
molecules
•near to positive plate, net negative charge is collected; near the
negative plate, net positive charge is collected.
•If no battery is connected, the initial potential difference V
between the plates will drop to V/.
•If a battery was connected, more charge can be added,
increasing the capacitance from C to C
problem
•An amount of 10 J is stored in a parallel plate capacitor with C=10nF. Then
the plates are disconnected from the battery and a plate of material is
inserted between the plates. A voltage drop of 1000 V is recorded. What is
the dielectric constant of the material?
answer:
step 1: Ec=1/2CV2 so 10=0.5x 10x10-9 V2, V=44721 V
step 2: after disconnecting and inserting the plate, the voltage over the
capacitor is equal to Voriginal/ 
So: (44721-1000)=44721/ 
=1.023

An ideal parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery and becomes
fully charged. The capacitor is then disconnected and the separation
between the plates is increased in such a way that no charge leaks off.
The energy stored in the capacitor has

answer: Ec=1/2CV2 with C=0A/d. If d increases, C becomes smaller.
The charge remains the same and Q=CV. So, if C becomes smaller, V
becomes larger by the same factor.
Rewrite: Ec=1/2CV2=1/2QV. Since Q is constant and V goes up,
Ec must increase.

Producing a Sound Wave
•Sound waves are longitudinal waves traveling
through a medium.
•A tuning fork can be used as an example of
producing a sound wave.
•A tuning fork will produce a pure musical
note (i.e. one with a Sinusoidal Waveform).
Using a Tuning Fork to Produce a
Sound Wave
•As the tine swings to the
right, it forces the air
molecules near it closer
together
•This produces a high
density area in the air.
•This is an area of
compression
Using a Tuning Fork, cont.
•As the tine moves
toward the left, the air
molecules to the right of
the tine spread out
•This produces an area of
low density
•This area is called a
rarefaction
Using a Tuning Fork, final
•As the tuning fork continues to vibrate, a
succession of compressions and rarefactions spread
out from the fork
•A sinusoidal curve can be used to represent the
longitudinal wave
•Crests correspond to compressions and troughs to
rarefactions

Standing Waves
•When a traveling wave reflects back on
itself, it creates traveling waves in both
directions
•The wave and its reflection interfere
according to the superposition principle
•With exactly the right frequency, the wave
will appear to stand still
•This is called a standing wave
Standing Waves, cont
•A node occurs where the two traveling
waves have the same magnitude of
displacement, but the displacements are in
opposite directions
•Net displacement is zero at that point
•The distance between two nodes is ½λ
•An antinode occurs where the standing wave
vibrates at maximum amplitude
Fundamental, 2nd, 3rd... Harmonics
•The modes of
vibration form a
harmonic series
•ƒ1

and also the first
harmonic
•ƒ2 is the second

Forced Vibrations
•A system with a driving force will force a vibration
at its frequency

natural frequency of the system, the system is said
to be in resonance.
•This frequency is called the resonant frequency.
