FThis problem from our slides first week of class.xq3x–LF13F32Charges Alone Could Cancel to Left and To Right. Must discuss Big & Small Charge versus Small and Big Distance: Q vs. 1/r2Common mistake: To putq3 at –L to Left “By Symmetry” This would only make sense if q3 and q2 were held and q1 was free. But we are told q1 and q2 are fixed and q3 is free to move. So no symmetry! Common mistake: Wrong x.This is Sample Problem from Book We worked on Board € r F 31=r F 32 ⇒ k q3q1r312=k q3q2r3124kQ2x2=kQ2x − L( )2 ⇒ 4x2=1x − L( )24 x − L( )2= x2 ⇒ ± 2 x − L( )= x+2 x − L( )= x or − 2 x − L( )= xx = 2L or x = 2L /3Not to right.Dielectric ConstantDielectric Constant•If the space between capacitor plates is filled by a dielectric, the capacitance INCREASES by a factor •This is a useful, working definition for dielectric constant.•Typical values of are 10–200+Q–QDIELECTRICC =  A/dC =  A/dThe  and the constant o are both called dielectric constants. The  has no units (dimensionless).The  and the constant o are both called dielectric constants. The  has no units (dimensionless).Atomic ViewEmolEcapMolecules set up counter E field Emol that somewhat cancels out capacitor field Ecap. This avoids sparking (dielectric breakdown) by keeping field inside dielectric small. Hence the bigger the dielectric constant the more charge you can store on the capacitor.Example Example •Capacitor has charge Q, voltage V•Battery remains connected while dielectric slab is inserted.•Do the following increase, decrease or stay the same:–Potential difference?–Capacitance?–Charge?–Electric field?dielectric slabExampleExample•Initial values: capacitance = C; charge = Q; potential difference = V; electric field = E;•Battery remains connected•V is FIXED; Vnew = V (same)•Cnew = C (increases)•Qnew = (C)V = Q (increases).•Since Vnew = V, Enew = V/d=E (same)dielectric slabEnergy stored? u=0E2/2 => u=0E2/2 = E2/2SummarySummary• Any two charged conductors form a capacitor.• Capacitance : C= Q/V• Simple Capacitors:Parallel plates: C = 0 A/dSpherical : C = 4 0 ab/(b-a)Cylindrical: C = 2 0 L/ln(b/a)• Capacitors in series: same charge, not necessarily equal potential; equivalent capacitance 1/Ceq=1/C1+1/C2+…• Capacitors in parallel: same potential; not necessarily same charge; equivalent capacitance Ceq=C1+C2+…• Energy in a capacitor: U=Q2/2C=CV2/2; energy density u=0E2/2• Capacitor with a dielectric: capacitance increases C’=kCWhat are we going to What are we going to learn?learn?A road mapA road map•Electric charge  Electric force on other electric charges Electric field, and electric potential•Moving electric charges : current •Electronic circuit components: batteries, resistors, capacitors•Electric currents  Magnetic field  Magnetic force on moving charges•Time-varying magnetic field  Electric Field•More circuit components: inductors. •Electromagnetic waves  light waves•Geometrical Optics (light rays). •Physical optics (light waves)The resistance is related to the potential we need to apply to a device to drive a given current through it. The larger the resistance, the larger the potential we need to drive the same current. ) (abbr.
