Experiments: http://paer.rutgers.edu/pt3/experimentindex.php?topicid=10&cycleid=56
Charge is a fundamental property of matter
Two kinds of electric charges: positive and negative
Objects become charged because of lack or excess of electrons
All charge is quantised!. Any charge Q can be written as a
multiple of the elementary charge e = 1.602 x 10-19 C
Q = n e, where n is an integer
Charge is always conserved

Like charges repel, opposites attract

Electric Field
Field lines indicate the direction of the field
Field lines begin on positive and end on negative charges
The density of field lines indicates intensity of the field

Example:
Ionic Solution

E L= V
In electrolyte a voltage to the electrodes (metal plates) will create
electric field E=V/L. Field will produce force acting on ions and
ions will start moving producing electric current
Electric Current
Example:
In metals electric
current is due to
mobile electrons

I =V/R
R is called resistance
Electric Current
The electric current I is the flow of electric charges
through a circuit per time interval : I = Q/t
Electrons in metal (or ions in electrolyte) must be mobile
The current I (SI units: Amperes; 1A = 1C/s) flowing
through a conductor is proportional to the potential
difference V across it.
and described by Ohms Law:
I=V/R.
Power
In conductors electric field from external source of
voltage produces force on moving charges
The force does work which initially goes into the kinetic
energy of charged particle (electron and ion)
Accelerated charged particles collide with surrounding
molecules (ions in electrolyte collide with solvent
molecules, electrons in metals collide with atoms of
metal lattice) and transfer energy to their thermal motion.
Hence, when electric current passes through a conductor
heat is released.
Power
The power P (i.e. heat per unit time) which dissipated
through a conductor with resistance R is :
P = VI
= VQ / t
P = V2/R = I2 R
SI unit: Watt
1W = 1 J / 1 s
Magnetism
Moving charges create another type of field which is called
magnetic field B.
Electric current creates magnetic field, which is a combination
of those of individual moving charges.

Magnetic Dipole
A magnetic dipole is a closed circulation of an electric
current
Field lines of magnetic field B created by a magnetic
dipole are similar to those of electric field E created by
electric dipole
The magnetic dipole moment is a measure
of the strength of a magnetic source
Example: Single loop of wire with
constant current flowing through it
Or: Electron moving in an orbit
around the nucleus: orbital dipole moment.
Electron also spins around its own axis:
spin dipole moment
Magnetism
Atoms of iron have large magnetic moment.
To make a magnet atoms of iron must be aligned.
Fe
Magnetism
Magnetic field acts on electric currents and moving charges with
the so called Lorentz force.
Lorentz force is proportional to the current I, and Magnetic field
B. Lorentz force is always perpendicular to both I and B
http://www.walter-fendt.de/ph14e/lorentzforce.htm
Lorentz force is what makes electric motors work
http://www.walter-fendt.de/ph14e/electricmotor.htm
Lorentz force acting on a single charge q moving with the speed v
(perpendicular to the field) is expressed as
FL q v B
