22 Electric Fields ( missing capacitor bits) Flashcards
What are fields
regions in which a charged object will experience a force at a distance
Electric field strength
force experienced per unit positive charge at that point
E = F/Q
coulomb’s law
F = Qq/(4𝝿r^2 ε0)
equation linking Force(F) ,Field Strength(E), charge(Q)
E = FQ
F = E/Q
equation involving, Field strength, Voltage, and distance
Derivation and state the case it works for
only works for parallel plates
F = Wd
W= VQ
E = F/Q
EQ = VQd
E = Vd
Unit for electric field strength
NC^-1 or Vm^-1
parallel plate capacitor
come back to
permittivity of free space experiment
what is electric potential energy
When two positive charge are brought close they repel each other. The energy takes to bring a charge from infinity away to a distance of r away from the source.
E = Qq/(4𝝿ε0r)
from integrating force with respect to dr from r to infinity
opposite if two charge have different sign
equipotential
