Electrostatics Flashcards
1
Q
Coulomb’s Law
A
the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the distance between the charges squared
2
Q
electric field
A
a region of space in which an electric charge experiences a force
the direction of the electric field at a point is the direction that a positive test charge would move if placed at that point
3
Q
electric field strength
A
the force experienced by a positive unit charge at that point
