Physics E1ax Solutions: Assignment for Feb Physics E1bx Physics E1ax Solutions: Assignment for Feb. 3 – Feb. 10 Homework #1: Electric Potential, Coulomb’s Law, Equipotentials After completing this homework assignment, you should be able to… • Understand the difference between electric potential V and electric potential energy Uelec, and how they are related. • Understand how objects move when a gradient is present. • Calculate force from electric potential using the idea of a gradient. • Apply the superposition principle to find potential and force. • Use equipotential surfaces to gain information about the potential, potential gradient, and force at a given location. • Calculate the electric force between point charges using Coulomb’s law. 1 Physics E1bx 1. Conceptual Questions. (1 pt) i) What is the difference between electric potential and electric potential energy? Electric potential energy Uelec: The electric force caused by any collection of charges at rest is a conservative force. The work W done by the electric force on a charged particle moving in a potential gradient can be represented by the change in the potential energy Uelec. Electric potential V: Potential V is potential energy per unit charge and is a scalar field defined at all points in space. The potential difference between two points equals the amount of work that would be required to move a unit positive test charge (i.e. a charge of 1 C) between those points. The potential due to a quantity of charge can be calculated by summing (if the charge is a collection of point charges). ii) What is the difference between electric potential and electric potential gradient? Electric potential V: See solution 1a) above. Electric potential gradient ∆V/∆r: The potential gradient is a vector that indicates the magnitude and direction of the change in potential. A gradient in potential makes positive charges move from regions of high potential to regions of low potential. 2. Putting Everything Together. (2 pts) Consider the following system. The particle on the left has charge +Q and the particle on the right has charge –Q, and the two charges are separated by a distance 2r. A + Q - Q 2r a) If location A is halfway between the two particles, what is the potential V at position A? The electric potential from a point charge is given by the equation: � � = � ∗ � where q is the magnitude of the charge and r is the distance away from the charge. At point A, the potential due to the left charge is: �� � = !"#$ !"#$ !!!"#$ � At point A, the potential due to the charge on the right is: � ∗ −� � = !"#$ !"#!! !!!"#$ � 2 Physics E1bx Thus, using the superposition principle, we can add these two potentials together in order to find the total potential V at point A: �! = �!"#$ !"#$ !!!"#$ + �!"#$ !"#!! !!!"#$ �� −�� � = + ! � � �� = � � b) What would the force F be on a test charge q0 located at position A? The electric force on a test charge q0 is given by Coulomb’s law: �� |�| = � ! �! At point A, the force is purely in the x-direction. The force from the left charge on a test charge q0 at point A is directed to the right and has magnitude: �� |� | = � ! ���� ���� ������ �! The force from the right charge on a test charge q0 at point A is directed to the right and has magnitude: �� |� | = � ! ���� ���� ������ �! Thus, using the superposition principle, we can add these two forces together in order to find the net force F on a test particle q0 located at point A: |� | = �� ��� , directed to the right ��� �� c) If the electric potential at a given point is zero, does it necessarily follow that the electric force on a positive charge is zero at that point? As seen in this problem, if the electric potential at a given point is zero, it does not necessarily follow that the electric force on a positive charge is also zero at that point. Electric force is dependent on the gradient of the potential, not on the value of the potential. Hence, it is possible to have a situation where V is zero but force F is nonzero. d) If the electric force on a positive charge at a given point is zero, does it necessarily follow that the electric potential is zero at that point? If the electric force at a given point is zero, it does not necessarily follow that the electric potential is also zero at that point. Recall that force is equal to charge times the gradient of potential: ∆� � = −� ! ∆� ∆� � = −� ! ∆� Since we are considering a positive charge, we know that q must be nonzero. This means that in order for F to be equal to zero, 3 Physics E1bx ∆� = 0 ∆� ∆� = 0 ∆� Now, if the potential gradient is equal to zero, this means that the potential must be equal to a constant at that point. However, it does not mean that the value of the constant must be equal to zero. Without any other information, we cannot determine what the value of the constant is. It may be equal to zero, or it may not. 3. Putting Everything Together. (2 pts) Y A small test charge –q0 travels from point X to point Y along the circular arc as shown. a) Is the electric potential difference ΔVXY positive, negative, or zero? Explain. -Q0 To solve this problem, we must determine the potential at point X as well as the potential at point Y. Let the side length of each square be r. With this, the potential at point X is equal X -Q0 to −�! −�! �! = � + � 5� 3� ��! 1 1 �! = − + � 5 3 �� � = −0.781 ! ! � Similarly, the potential at point Y is equal to −�! −�! �! = � + � 5� 5� ��! 1 1 �! = − + � 5 5 �� � = −0.647 ! ! � To find the change in potential, ΔVXY, we subtract the initial potential (VX) from the final potential (VY): ∆�!" = �! − �! �� �� ∆� = −0.647 ! − −0.781 ! !" � � �� ∆� = �. ��� � �� � So, the electric potential difference ΔVXY is positive. This means that the potential at point Y is greater than the potential at point X. b) The test charge is launched from point X with an initial speed v0 and is observed to pass through point Y. Is the speed of the test charge at point Y greater than, less than, or equal to v0? Explain 4 Physics E1bx your reasoning. To answer this question, we must apply conservation of energy. Recall that electric potential energy is related to electric potential via �!"!# = �� This means that the potential energy at point X is �� � = −� −0.781 ! ! ! � �� � � = 0.781 ! ! ! � The potential energy at point Y is similarly �� � = −� −0.647 ! ! ! � �� � � = 0.647 ! ! ! � Now, we can calculate the total energy of the test charge at point X: 1 � = � + �� ! ! ! 2 ! �� � 1 � = 0.781 ! ! + �� ! ! � 2 ! The total energy of the test charge at point Y is: 1 � = � + ��! ! ! 2 �� � 1 � = 0.647 ! ! + ��! ! � 2 Conservation of energy tells us that �! = �! �� � 1 �� � 1 0.781 ! ! + �� ! = 0.647 ! ! + ��! � 2 ! � 2 1 �� � � � ! − �! = −0.166 ! ! 2 ! � 1 � � ! − �! = −� ∆� 2 ! ! !" In order for this equation to be true, v must be greater than v0. So, since the potential energy of the test charge at point Y is less than its potential energy at point X, the test charge must be moving faster at point Y. Hence, the speed of the test charge at point Y is greater than v0. 4. Putting Everything Together. (2 pts) 5 Physics E1bx Open the “Charges and Fields” web page and click “Run Now”: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/charges-and-fields a) Assemble two positive charges and on negative charge in the configuration shown below and check the box labeled “Show numbers.” – e HA HB • Plot a number of equipotential surfaces at equal intervals. • Print the resulting plot. • Find a point on the plot where the potential gradient is very large and determine the force on a positive charge at that location. • Is there a point where the force would be zero? Here is my plot: When the equipotential lines are very close together, it means that the potential gradient is large. Here is a spot where the gradient is large: 6 Physics E1bx A positive charge in a potential gradient will feel a force pushing it towards a lower potential. In this case, the positive charge will feel a force to the left, towards the negative charge. The force on a charge is equal to zero when the potential gradient is zero, such as a saddle point, in this case: b) On the right-hand side, there are yellow balls called “E-Field Sensors.” Place five or so of these on various equipotential lines. • Print the resulting plot. • What is the E-Field Sensor is “sensing”? Consider the direction that the arrow is pointing, and look closely at the SI units reported by the sensor. • How does the spacing of the equipotential lines relate to the value of the E-Field Sensor? Here is my plot with E-field sensors: 7 Physics E1bx Some things we notice about this plot: 1) The E-field sensors show an arrow, which means they’re measuring a vector quantity. The applet also reports the magnitude and direction of the red arrow. 2) The magnitude reported by the sensor is in “volts/meter”, which are the same SI units we use for potential gradient. 3) The arrow is perpendicular to the equipotential curve the sensor is sitting on. 4) The magnitude reported by the sensor is larger when the equipotential curves are closer together. Putting all of this information together, the E-field sensor measures a vector related to the potential gradient. (The name “E-field sensor” also gives us a clue that this measured quantity is called the “electric field”. We’ll learn more about electric fields later.) c) Below you’ll see some equipotential surfaces—“equipotential line art.” The charges that created these equipotential surfaces have been erased.

  • An Introduction to Effective Field Theory
    An Introduction to Effective Field Theory Thinking Effectively About Hierarchies of Scale c C.P. BURGESS i Preface It is an everyday fact of life that Nature comes to us with a variety of scales: from quarks, nuclei and atoms through planets, stars and galaxies up to the overall Universal large-scale structure. Science progresses because we can understand each of these on its own terms, and need not understand all scales at once. This is possible because of a basic fact of Nature: most of the details of small distance physics are irrelevant for the description of longer-distance phenomena. Our description of Nature’s laws use quantum field theories, which share this property that short distances mostly decouple from larger ones. E↵ective Field Theories (EFTs) are the tools developed over the years to show why it does. These tools have immense practical value: knowing which scales are important and why the rest decouple allows hierarchies of scale to be used to simplify the description of many systems. This book provides an introduction to these tools, and to emphasize their great generality illustrates them using applications from many parts of physics: relativistic and nonrelativistic; few- body and many-body. The book is broadly appropriate for an introductory graduate course, though some topics could be done in an upper-level course for advanced undergraduates. It should interest physicists interested in learning these techniques for practical purposes as well as those who enjoy the beauty of the unified picture of physics that emerges. It is to emphasize this unity that a broad selection of applications is examined, although this also means no one topic is explored in as much depth as it deserves.

  • Electromagnetic Potentials Basis for Energy Density and Power Flux
    Electromagnetic Potentials Basis for Energy Density and Power Flux Harold E. Puthoff Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin, 11855 Research Blvd., Austin, Texas 78759 E-mail: [email protected] Tel: 512-346-9947 Fax:512-346-3017 Abstract It is well understood that various alternatives are available within EM theory for the definitions of energy density, momentum transfer, EM stress-energy tensor, and so forth. Although the various options are all compatible with the basic equations of electrodynamics (e.g., Maxwell‟s equations, Lorentz force law, gauge invariance), nonetheless certain alternative formulations lend themselves to being seen as preferable to others with regard to the transparency of their application to physical problems of interest. Here we argue for the transparency of an energy density/power flux option based on the EM potentials alone. 1. Introduction The standard definition encountered in textbooks (and in mainstream use) for energy density u and power flux S in EM (electromagnetic) fields is given by 1 22 ur, t E H 1. a , S r , t E H 1. b . 2 00 One can argue that this formulation, even though resulting in paradoxes, owes its staying power more to historical development than to transparency of application in many cases. One oft-noted paradox in the literature, for example, is the (mathematical) apparency of unobservable momentum transfer at a given location in static superposed electric and magnetic fields, seemingly implied by (1.b) above.1 A second example is highlighted in Feynman‟s commentary that use of the standard EH, Poynting vector approach leads to “… a peculiar thing: when we are slowly charging a capacitor, the energy is not coming down the wires; it is coming in through the edges of the gap,” a seemingly absurd result in his opinion, regardless of its uniform acceptance as a correct description [1].

  • Potential Fields in Electrical Methods
    Potential Fields in Electrical Methods An important class of methods used for exploration rely on measuring the response of the Earth to applied potential differences (and hence injection of current into the ground). We will see that this subject is intimately related to the study of potential fields. Ohm’s Law We begin by reviewing electrical resistance, resistivity and conductivity. Ohm’s law states V = IR (1) where V is the applied potential difference, R is the resistance and I the current that flows. R is an extrinsic variable, for a continuous medium we need an intrinsic variable — this is ρ, the resistivity, the resistance of a 1m3 block of material. In general, ρL R = (2) A We write V = IR in continuous form: ρL V = I (3) A V ρI ⇒ E = = = ρJ (4) L A where • E=Electric field strength (potential gradient) • J=Current density (Am−1) • ρ is resistivity in Ωm. • σ = ρ−1 is conductivity in Ω−1m−1 or Siemens/m (SI) 1 So we can also write J = σE, a convenient form of Ohm’s Law. We can also record the relationship between E and the potential in vector form: E = −∇V (5) where the minus signs signifies that Electric fields, and the associated cur- rents, point in the direction of decreasing potential, whereas ∇V gives the direction of increasing potential. Point electrode We now consider current I injected into a uniform half-space, of electrical conductivity σ or resistivity ρ. It is clear that the current spreads out in all directions beneath the surface (and none flows across the surface).

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics has been successful in explaining transport mechanisms, including the ion transport phenomenon. However, physiologists may not be familiar with biophysical concepts based on the view of entropy production. In this paper, I have reviewed the physical meanings and connections between nonequilibrium thermodynamics and the expressions commonly used in describing ion fluxes in membrane physiology. The fluctuation theorem can be applied to interpret the flux ratio in the small molecular systems. The multi-ion single-file feature of the ion channel facilitates the utilization of the natural tendency of electrochemical driving force to couple specific biophysical processes and biochemical reactions on the membrane.

Introduction Ion flux through ion channels on the cell membrane is a fundamental physiological process.
