AS Physics Electric fields
Cards in this deck (8)
- 1How neutral objects become electrically chargedWhen one material is rubbed against each other
- 2Static electricity exampleCloth and plastic. The electrons are rubbed off due to friction. One gains electrons, leaves other with protons
- 3Electric fieldA field of force where an electric charge experiences a force. Electric field lines determine the direction of the force and the strength of the field at that point.
- 4Radial field diagram (Spreads out in all directions)
- 5Uniform field diagram (Has the same strength at all points)
- 6Electric field strengthThe force per unit charge exerted on a stationary positive charge at that point
F/Q - 7Electric field strength in a uniform electric fieldV/d
- 8Electric charge moving through a uniform electric fieldThe horizontal velocity is not affected by the force as it acts vertically, but the electron will accelerate towards the positive plate
