Electric Field Flashcards
1
Q
electric field
A
region of space where an electric charge experienced an electric force
2
Q
Electric field strength
A
electric force per unit positive charge
3
Q
Coulomb’s law
A
electric force between 2 point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to square of separation between the two charges
4
Q
electric potential
A
work done per unit positive charge in moving a small positive test charge from infinity to that point
5
Q
electric potential energy
A
work done in moving a particular charge from infinity to that point in the electric field
