Electric Potential Flashcards
Lesson 2
▪ Vector quantity
▪ Along the line to join two charges
Electrostatic Force
The magnitude of the _____________ _____ between point charges q1 and q2 is separated by a distance r is given by Coulomb’s Law.
▪ Left: Like charges
▪ Right: Unlike charges
Electrostatic Force
Is an area of electrical influence around a CHARGED OBJECT. Represented by the unit
newton per coulomb (N/C)
Electric Field
Are drawn to represent the way a positively charged particle would move if
placed in a field represented by the a or multiple standing charges.
Electric Fields
Lines are drawn to represent the _____.
field
Spacing between the lines show _____ strength.
field
______ are drawn to represent directions of the field.
Arrows
Lines are ______ to represent
the field.
drawn
What are the different behaviors and characteristics of electric fields in the presence of charged objects
▪ + Charge Sphere
▪ Stronger + Charge
▪ Weak - Sphere
▪ + and - Sphere
▪ Two + Spheres
What is the variable name and value of ‘k’ in the formula of electric field which is: E = f/q and E = kq/d^2
constant (For air, k = 9.0 x 109 N·m2/C2)
Is the product of the magnitude of the electric field and the surface area, A, perpendicular to the field.
Electric flux
The ________ ____ is proportional to the number of electric field lines penetrating some surface.
electric flux
States that the net number of electric field lines leaving out of any closed surface is proportional to the net electric charge q^in inside that volume.
Gauss’s law
