Topic 13: Electric Field Flashcards
1
Q
Electric field
A
A region of space where an electric charge experiences an electric force.
2
Q
Electric field strength, E
A
Electric force per unit positive charge on a small stationary test charge at that point.
3
Q
Coulomb’s Law
A
Electric force between two point charges is directly proportional to product of the two charges and is inversely proportional to the square of the separation between the two charges.
4
Q
Electric potential
A
Work done per unit positive charge in moving a small positive test charge from infinity to that point.
