Even if no demonstrations are performed, it is recommended to read them as part of studying the chapter - the student will find some of the explanations useful. Amount of substance Themol(mol) is the amount of substance of a system that contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kg of carbon-12. The entities can be atoms, molecules, ions, electrons or any other particles.) The accepted number of entities (i.e. molecules) is known as Avogadro's number and is equal to approximately 6.02211023.
Introduction
The discussion in this chapter starts with the definition of scalars and vectors in Cartesian coordinates.
Scalars and Vectors
Magnitude and Direction of Vectors: The Unit Vector
The magnitude of the vector isv, and this is written directly from the geometry in Figure 1.2bas. Note also that the magnitude of ^xog^y is one, since these are the unit vectors in the direction of the vector components of v, namely xandy.
Vector Addition and Subtraction
The vector addition is also distributive, but we show this only in section 1.2.3. a) The sum of the two vectors. To calculate the differences, we add the vector components of the two vectors, observing the sign of each vector component: .
Vector Scaling
Products of Vectors
The Scalar Product
Example 1.4 Calculate the projection of a general vector onto another general vector, and the vector component in the direction of B. Figure 1.12 Definition of the dot product between vectors A and B. Solution: Using the dot product, the cosine of the angle between the vectors is evaluated by the draw.
The Vector Product
In addition to the non-commutative properties of the vector product, the following properties are also observed: The formula in (b) is called the scalar equation of the plane while the formf(x,y,z)¼nC¼0 is referred to as the vector equation of the plane.
Multiple Vector and Scalar Products
Calculate the electric field intensity parallel to the surface at the center of the plate. A simpler method is to calculate the divergence of the electric field in the charge distribution.
Definition of Fields
Scalar Fields
An example of a time-dependent scalar field could be a weather map where temperatures vary with time. Similarly, a time-dependent electric potential distribution in a block of material is a time-dependent scalar field.
Vector Fields
Solution: For a vector field, we need to show both the magnitude of the vector and its direction. The arrow starts at the location (point) where the field appears and points in the direction of the field, and the length of the arrow indicates the size of the field.
Systems of Coordinates
- The Cartesian Coordinate System
- The Cylindrical Coordinate System
- The Spherical Coordinate System
- Transformation from Cylindrical to Spherical Coordinates
For a point connecting vector (1) to point (2), the projection on each axis is the difference in coordinates corresponding to point (2) (head) and point (1) (tail) of the vector. (b) scalar component iA direction eBis projection iA. a). Note that the vector components in cylindrical coordinates are not constant (they depend on the angle ϕ except for the coordinates of points P1 and P2).
Position Vectors
To re-enter the atmosphere, the speed is reduced by 1,000 km/h by firing a small rocket in the opposite direction of the satellite's motion:. What is the speed of the particle. a) Calculate the angle between the trajectories of the two objects.
Introduction
There can be no language more universal and simpler, freer from error and obscurity, that is, more worthy of expressing the immutable relations of natural things [than mathematics].
Integration of Scalar and Vector Functions
Line Integrals
The closed contour integral of A is also called the circulation of A about path C. The circulation of a vector around a closed path can be zero or non-zero, depending on the vector. The size depends on the location of the field (i.e. the different vector lengths at different locations). b) FromP2toP3, the element of path isdl¼xdx^ þydy.
Surface Integrals
So the surface integral of a vector is the flux of this vector through the surface. In this case, the direction of travel is counterclockwise along the edge of the surface.
Volume Integrals
Calculate the flux of vectorA through a surface defined by 0 If you were to sail in the direction of the gradient in air pressure, you would always have the wind in your face. The unit vector is found by dividing the gradient by the magnitude of the gradient. The total flux from the volume is given by the integral of the closed surface of the vector A [see Eq. This indicates that there is a net flow from the volume through the closed surface. The expression in parentheses is the divergence of the vectorA. The expression for the total flow through the small box becomes [see Eq. Since the total flow through the volume or through the surface that encloses the volume must be the same, we can Eq. The direction of the electric field strength is in the direction rr0, as shown in Figure 3.13. The magnitude of the electric field strength due to the elementary charge is dE¼ρvr0dr0dϕ0dz0. Stokes ’ Theorem Substituting them into the expression for the electric field strength of a dipole, we get Ed 1. Calculate the electric field strength in free space at a distance [m] above an infinite plane charged with a uniform surface charge density ρs [C/m2]. The Helmholtz Theorem The out operator as well as the gradient, divergence, and curl are first-order operators; The result are first-order partial derivatives of scalar or vector functions. 2A¼x^∇2Axþy^∇2Ayþz^∇2Az ð2:137Þ and can be obtained by directly applying the scalar Laplacian operator to each of the scalar components of the vectorA. The scalar components of the Laplacian vector are Cr2dl, where r2¼x2+y2, from the origin to the point P(1,3) along the line connecting the origin to P(1,3).d is the differential vector in Cartesian coordinates. a) Magnitude and direction of the pressure gradient. What is the curl of A. 2.29 Check Stokes' theorem for A¼x^ð2xyÞ y^2yz2z^2zy2 on the upper half-plane of the spherex2+y2+z2¼4 above the xyplane. A charge density of 1 C/m means that one coulomb of charge is distributed per each meter length of the device. A surface charge density of 1 C/m2 means that one coulomb of charge is spread over every square meter of the surface. A volumetric charge density of 1 C/m3 means that one coulomb of charge is distributed over a one meter cube:. A non-uniform charge density occurs when the charge in different sections of the charge distribution depends on location. We will expand on this shortly, but for now it is sufficient to look at the magnitude of the force. The net force is balanced by the centrifugal force due to orbit of the electron. What are the points on the axis at which the intensity of the electric field is zero (other than at infinity). Solution: The electric field intensity is the superposition of the electric field intensity of the three charges. The intensity of the electric field at a point in space due to this elementary point charge is. In the case discussed here, we need to find the electric field intensity at the center of the plate. Since F¼qE, the use of electric flux density does not eliminate the need to consider dielectric permittivity. After calculating the electric flux density using Eq. 3.56), the electric field strength can be calculated from Eq. a). In large scrubbers at coal-fired power plants, scrubbers are installed in flue structures in smokestacks, and cleaning is usually accomplished by "shaking" the particles off the electrodes and physically removing them from a collection pit at the bottom of the stacks. Applications: Electrostatic Deflection - Electron Gun and Deflection in Oscilloscopes, Cathode Tube The principle of electrostatic deflection is widely used in instruments such as oscilloscopes. If you touch the ball, some of the charge from the rod will be transferred to the ball and the ball will be repelled. Since both rod and ball have the same polarity, the ball will be repelled. Calculate the electric field intensity at P1, P2 and P3 (at the axis of the cylinder) shown in Figure 3.46. Calculate the electric field intensity anywhere in space outside the electron (ie for R>R0). Introduction More important is the fact that we have determined the divergence of the electric field strength as one of the conditions necessary to define a vector field. In other words, can we actually say that the curvature of a static electric field is always zero. However, under two special conditions, the evaluation of the intensity of the electric field is very simple. What is the magnitude of the electric field intensity at ground level, directly below the line. Thus, movement in the radial direction changes the potential (adds to the integral), while movement of the test charge perpendicular to the radial direction (along a circular path of constant radius) does not change the potential. The potential at a point P(R) in space is a scalar addition of the potentials of the individual charges. To calculate the potential at a pointr1outside, we integrate as in the previous case from r¼btor¼r1: Vr1,b¼Vr1Vb¼. 160 4 Gauss's law and the electric potential. To find the potential on line B, we integrate in the direction of the electric field from x¼0 tox¼(d/2) –a. From the general expression for the potential, we can calculate the strength of the electric field with a gradient: E¼ ∇V. 4πε0R2 ½ V To calculate the electric field strength, we use the gradient in spherical coordinates and write it down. We mentioned that the tangential component of the electric field intensity at the surface of a conductor must be zero simply by the definition of a conductor. The net effect is an induced surface charge density (polarization) due to the effect of the external electric field.
