electrical field Flashcards
1
Q
Electric Field definition
electrical field
A
a region of space where an electric force acts on a stationary charge placed at any point within the region
2
Q
Coulomb’s Law
electrical field
A
magnitude of the electrostatic force between 2 point electric charges is :
- directly proportional to the the product of the magnitudes of each charge
- inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges
3
Q

electrical field
A
electric force exerted per unit positive charge on a small stationary charge placed at that point
4
Q
Electric Potential at a Point definition
electrical field
A
work done per unit positive charge in bringing a small test charge from infinity to that point
