• Most of information is available at:
http://nngroup.physics.sunysb.edu/~chiaki/PHY127-08
• The website above is the point of contact outside the class for important
messages, so regularly and frequently check the website.
• At the end of class a quiz is given for the previous chapter covered in
the class. Bring a calculator (no wireless connection), a pencil, an eraser,
and a copy of lecture note for the chapter.
• The lab session is an integrated part of the course and make sure that
you will attend all the sessions. See the syllabus for the detailed
information and the information (e.g. lab manuals) at the website above.
• 5 homework problems for each chapter are in general due a week later
at 11:59 pm and are delivered through MasteringPhysics website at:
http://www.masteringphysics.com. You need to open an account.
• In addition to homework problems, there is naturally a reading
requirement of each chapter, which is very important.

•
Electron: Considered a point object with radius less than 10-18 meters with
electric charge e= -1.6 x 10 -19 Coulombs (SI units) and mass me= 9.11 x 10 31 kg
•
Proton: It has a finite size with charge +e, mass mp= 1.67 x 10-27 kg and with
radius
– 0.805 +/-0.011 x 10-15 m scattering experiment
– 0.890 +/-0.014 x 10-15 m Lamb shift experiment
•
Neutron: Similar size as proton, but with total charge = 0 and mass mn=
– Positive and negative charges exists inside the neutron
•
Pions: Smaller than proton. Three types: + e, - e, 0 charge.
– 0.66 +/- 0.01 x 10-15 m
•
Quarks: Point objects. Confined to the proton and neutron,
– Not free
– Proton (uud) charge = 2/3e + 2/3e -1/3e = +e
– Neutron (udd) charge = 2/3e -1/3e -1/3e = 0
– An isolated quark has never been found
Electric charge (cont’d)
• Two kinds of charges: Positive and Negative
• Like charges repel - unlike charges attract
• Charge is conserved and quantized
1. Electric charge is always a multiple of the fundamental unit of
charge, denoted by e.
2. In 1909 Robert Millikan was the first to measure e.Its value is e =
1.602 x 10−19 C (coulombs).
3. Symbols Q or q are standard for charge.
4. Always Q = Ne where N is an integer
5. Charges: proton, + e ; electron, − e ; neutron, 0 ; omega, − 3e ;
quarks, ± 1/3 e or ± 2/3 e – how come? – quarks always exist in
groups with the N×e rule applying to the group as a whole.

Coulomb’s law
‰ Superposition of forces Principle of superposition of kforces
When two charges exert forces simultaneously on a third charge,
the total force acting on that charge is the vector sum of the forces
that the two charges would exert individually.

•Existence of a charged body A modifies property of space and
produces an “electric field”.
•When a charged body B is removed, although the force exerted on
the body B disappeared, the electric field by the body A remains.
•The electric force on a charged body is exerted by the electric field
created by other charged bodies.

There are some usual conventions for the notation:
Charge per unit length is λ ; units C/m i.e, dq = λ dl
Charge per unit area is σ ; units C/m2 i.e, dq = σ dA
Charge per unit volume is ρ ; units C/m3 i.e, dq = ρdV

Electric field lines
‰ An electric field line is an imaginary line or curve drawn
through a region of space so that its tangent at any point
is in the direction of the electric-field vector at that point.
r
‰ Electric field lines show the direction of E at each point,
and
r their spacing gives a general idea of the magnitude of
E at each point.
r
‰ Where E is strong, electric
r field lines are drawn bunched
closely together; where E is weaker, they are farther apart.
‰ At any particular point, the electric field has a unique
direction so that only one field line can pass through each
point of the field. Field lines never intersect.

line drawing rules:
E-field lines begin on + charges
and end on - charges. (or infinity)
They enter or leave charge symmetrically.
The number of lines entering or leaving a
charge is proportional to the charge.
The density of lines indicates the strength
of E at that point.
At large distances from a system of charges,
the lines become isotropic and radial as from
a single point charge equal to the net charge
of the system.
No two field lines can cross.
