Electric Fields

Electric Fields

1. Charged object in electric field experiences force.

2. Coulomb's Law

3. Electric field strength is the force per positive unit charge.

   • E = F/q
   • The force that a charge of +1C would experience if it was placed in the electric field.

4. Point charge

   • Radial Field

5. Uniform field

   • Produced by connecting 2 parallel plates to opposite poles of a battery.
   • E = V/d
   • Charged particles move through uniform electric fields like projectiles
