Electricty Flashcards
Electrical conductors
object that can conduct electricity
Electric field strength
E= F/Q force per unit charge on a positive test charge at that point
Electric Potential
Work done per unit charge to move a positive test charge from infinity to the point
Electric field strength between two plates
E=V/d
Coulomb’s law of force
1/4piE * Qq/r^2 forces between two test charges id proportional to the product of test charges and inversely proportional to r^2
Electric field strength
1/4piE * Q/r^2
Electric Potential
Q/4piEr
Field lines go in which direction
from positive to negative (positive test charge, the line go outwards
electric potential characteristics
Dependent on electric charge and distance from source
greatest at end of the plate with the same charge
Electric potential energy characteristics
greatest when work is being done
object moving in the opposite direction to the force
