Electric Feilds Flashcards
1
Q
Describe the electric feild lines on a -ve charge
A
Acting towards -ve charge
Lines are perpendicular to the surface of a conductor
Closer the lines are the greater the electric feild
2
Q
Is E a vector or scalar
A
Vector because it has direction, it points away from =ve and towards -ve
3
Q
Define electric feild
A
A regional of space which a charged particle experiences a force
4
Q
Define electric feild strength
A
The force per unit =ve charge
5
Q
Define uniform field
A
The field strength is the same at all points
6
Q
Define electric potential
A
The work done to move a unit of =ve charge from infinity to that point
