Electrostatics

Cards (4)

  • *Coulombs law
    the magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted by 2 point changes (Q1) and (Q2) is, directly proportional the the product of the magnitudes and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(r) between them
  • Electric Field
    a region in a space where and 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
  • *Electric Field Strength at a Point
    The electrostatic force experienced per unit positive charge placed at that point.
  • Positive Test Charge
    a unit positive charge which is used to determine the strength and direction of an electric field
