ELECTRIC CHARGE AND FIELD
1.
ELECTROSTATICS
The branch of physics which deals with charges at rest is called electrostatics.
2.
ELECTRIC CHARGE
Charge is scalar physical quantity associated with matter due to which it produces and experiences electrical
and magnetic effects. The excess or deficiency of electrons in a body gives the concept of charge. A negatively
charged body has excess of electrons while a positively charged body has lost some of its electrons.
Electrons = Protons

Properties of Charge
(1) Like charges repel while unlike charges attract each other. The true test of electrification is repulsion
(2) Charge is a scalar.
(3) Charge is always associated with mass :
In charging, the mass of a body changes. If electrons are removed from the body, the mass of the body
will decrease and the body will become positively charged. If electrons are added to a body, the mass of
the body will increase and the body will acquire a net negative charge. Due to extremely small mass of
electron (= 9.1 1031 kg) the change in mass of a body due to charging is negligible as compared to the
mass of the body.

(4) Charge is quantised : When a physical quantity has only discrete values the quantity is said to be quantised.
Milikan oil drop experiment established that the smallest charge that can exist in nature is the charge of
an electron. If the charge of an electron (e = 1.6 1019 C) is taken as the elementary unit, i.e., quanta
of charge, the charge on a body will be an integral multiple of e
i.e., q = ne with n = 1, 2, .................
(5) Charge is invariant : This means that charge is independent of frame of reference, i.e., charge on a body
does not change with speed. The charge density or mass of a body depends on speed and increases with
increase in speed.

Practical units of charge are amp hr (= 3600 coulomb) and faraday (= 96500 coulomb)
3.
CHARGING OF A BODY
(a)
Friction : In friction when two bodies are rubbed together, electrons are transferred from one body to the other.
This makes one body become positively charged while the other become negatively charged, e.g., when a glass
rod is rubbed with silk, the rod becomes positively charged while the silk is negatively charged. Clouds are also
charged by friction. Charging by friction is in accordance with conservation of charge. The positive and negative
charges appear simultaneously in equal amounts due to transfer of electrons from one body to the other.
(b)
Induction : If a charged body is brought near a neutral body, the charged body will attract opposite charge
and repel similar charge present in the neutral body. This makes one side of the neutral body become positively
charged while the other side negative.

where q is the inducing charge and K is the dielectric constant of the material of the uncharged body.
(iv)
For metals, K = and so q' = q i.e., in metals induced charge is equal and opposite to inducing charge.
(v)
Induction takes place only in bodies (either conducting or non conducting) and not in particles.
(c)
Conduction : When an insulated conductor is brought in contact with a charged body and it gets the same
charge as the charged body then conduction takes place. Conduction is only possible in conductors and not in
insulators.

COULOMB'S LAW
The force of attraction or repulsion between two stationary point charges is directly proportional to the product
of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them. This force acts along the line
joining the centre of two charges.
If q1 & q2 are charges, r is the distance between them and F is the force acting between them

ELECTRIC FIELD
To explain 'action at a distance', i.e., 'force without contact' between charges we assume that a charge or charge
distribution produces a field in space surrounding it. The region surrounding a charge or charge distribution in
which its electrical effects are perceptable is called the electric field of the given charge. Electric field at a point
is characterised either by a vector function of position E called electric intensity or by a scalar function of
position V called electric potential. The electric field in a certain space is also visualised graphically in terms
of lines of force. So electric intensity, potential and lines of force are different ways of describing the same
field
q0
The electric field intensity at a point in an electric field is defined as the force experienced
by a unit positive point charge called test charge supposed to be placed at that point. The
test charge does not affect the source charge or charge distribution producing the field. If
a test charge q0 at a point P in an electric field experiences a force F , then electric field

In presence of a dielectric, electric field decreases and becomes 1/K times of its value in free space.

6.
Important points
(1)
Electric lines of force usually start or diverge out from positive charge and end or converge on negative charge.
(2)
The number of lines originating or terminating on a charge is proportional to the magnitude of charge. In SI
units 1/0 shows electric lines associated with unit (i.e., 1 coulomb) charge. So if a body encloses a charge q,
total lines of force or flux associated with it is q/0. If the body is cubical and charge is situated at its centre
the lines of force through each face will be q/60 .
+q
A
(3)
Lines of force never cross each other because if they cross then intensity at that point will have two directions
which is not possible.
(4)
In electrostatics the electric lines of force can never be closed loops, as a line can never start and end on
the same charge. If a line of force is a closed curve, work done round a closed path will not be zero and
electric field will not remain conservative.
(5)
Attraction
Repulsion
If the lines of force are equidistant straight lines the field is uniform and if lines of force are not equidistant
or straight lines or both, the field will be non-uniform. The first three represent non-uniform field while last
shows uniform field.
Magnitude is
not constant
(7)
Direction is
not constant
Electric lines of force end or start normally on the surface of a conductor. If a line of force is not
normal to the surface of a conductor, electric intensity will have a component along the surface of
the conductor and hence conductor will not remain equipotential which is not possible as in electrostatics
conductor is an equipotential surface.

If in a region of space, there is no electric field there will be no lines of force. This is why inside a
conductor or at a neutral point where resultant intensity is zero there is no line of force.
(9)
The number of lines of force per unit normal area at a point represents magnitude of electric field intensity.
The crowded lines represent strong field while distant lines shows a weak field.
(10) The tangent to the line of force at a point in an electric field gives the direction of intensity. It gives
direction of force and hence acceleration which a positive charge will experience there (and not the direction
of motion). A positive point charge free to move may or may not follow the line of force. It will follow
the line of force if it is a straight line (as direction of velocity and acceleration will be same) and will
not follow the line if it is curved as the direction of motion will be different from that of acceleration.
The particle will not move in the direction of motion or acceleration (line of force) but other than these
ELECTRIC-FLUX
Electric flux through an elementary area ds is defined as the scalar product of area and field, i.e.,
dE E ds Eds cos
E E ds
i.e.,
It represents the total lines of force passing through the given area. Here area is treated as a vector. The direction
of area vector is given by direction of normal to the surface.

It will be maximum when cos is max = 1, i.e., = 0, i.e., electric field is normal to the area with (dE)max

It will be minimum when cos is min = 0, i.e., = 90, i.e. field is parallel to the area with (dE)min = 0

For a closed body outward flux is taken as positive while inward flux is taken as negative.

GAUSS'S LAW
It relates the total flux of an electric field through a closed surface to the net charge enclosed by that surface.
According to it, the total flux linked with a closed surface is 1/0 times the charge enclosed by the closed surface,

Electric field due to a line charge : Gauss law is useful in calculating electric field intensity due to symmetrical
charge distributions.
We consider a gaussian surface which is a cylinder of radius r which encloses a line charge of length h with

So
Ex.
A copper sphere of mass 2.0 g contains about 2 10 22 atoms. The charge on the nucleus of each atom is 29e.

Consider four equal charges placed on the corners of a square with side a. Determine the magnitude and direction
of the resultant force on the charge on lower right corner.
Sol. The forces on the charge on lower right corner due to charges 1, 2, 3 are F 1 = kq/a, F2 = kq/a, F3 = kq/2a.
The resultant of F1 and F2 is
F12 F12 F22 2F1F2 cos 90 =
2kq 2 / a 2 .
This is in the direction parallel to F3. Therefore the total force on the said charge is F = F12 + F3

Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal length. The strings make an angle of 30 with
each other. When suspended in a liquid of density 0.8 gm/cc, the angle remains the same. What is the dielectric
constant of the liquid? ( = 1.6 gm/cc is the density of the sphere)
Sol. The forces acting on each ball are tension T, weight mg and electric force F, for its equilibrium along vertical,
T cos = mg

When the balls are suspended in a liquid of density and dielectric constant K, the electric force will become

An infinite plane of positive charge has a surface charge density . A metal ball B of mass m and charge q
is attached to a thread and tied to a point A on the sheet PQ. Find the angle which AB makes with the plane
PQ.
Sol. Due to positive charge the ball will experience electrical force Fe = qE horizontally away from the sheet while
the weight of the ball will act vertically downwards and hence if T is the tension in the string, for equilibrium
