  • 1 proton = 1.6E-19 C
  • Electric field unit = N/C
  • Excess charges reside on the surface of the conductor
  • Electric field lines are perpendicular to a conductor's surface on the outside
  • Properties of field lines
    ▪ Field lines begin on positive
    charges and end on negative
    charges
    ▪ Number of field lines is
    proportional to the closeness of
    the field lines
    ▪ They must never cross
