is defined as the electric force per unit charge. |
Electric field |
|
|
The direction of the field is taken to be the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test charge. |
Electric field |
|
|
Electric field of a Point Charge can be obtained from |
Coulomb's |
|
|
applies to all electric and magnetic fields, including those comprising electromagnetic waves created by different sources. |
superposition principle |
|
|
the result of adding the vectors will be a sum that is larger than its parts: this is known as |
constructive interference |
|
|
the E vectors point approximately in opposite directions, the result will be smaller than its parts, which is known as |
destructive interference |
|
|
These are the lines that indicate the strength and direction of the electric field. |
electric field lines |
|
|
It is an interaction between two objects that has the ability to change the motion of one or both of the objects. |
Force |
|
|
The lines are directed away from positively charged source charges and toward negatively charged source charges. |
True |
|
|
It is a region around a charged particle or object within which a force would be exerted on other charged particles or objects |
Electric field |
|
|
electric field is the space around an electrical charge just like a gravitational field is the space around a mass. |
True |
