Electric Fields Flashcards
1
Q
Coulomb’s law
A
The electrostatic force between two point charges is proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
2
Q
Electric field strength
A
The Electric field strength at a point in a field is the force which is exerted on a unit positive charge placed in the field
3
Q
Electric Potential
A
The electric potential at any point in an electric field is the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point
