Any effect that appears to pass to travel through a surface or substance
flux
Measure of the amount of electric field which passes through a defined area.
electric flux
is represented by arrows to indicate the flow or movement from a positive charge or to a negative charge.
electric flux
electric flux is represented by an
arrow
this flow of an electric field through a given area is measurable using
electric flux
used to measure electric flux or newton meters squared per coulomb
Volt-meter(v-m)
states that the electric flux through any closed surface is equal to the net charge inside the surface divided by the permittivity of free space
gauss law
german mathematician and physicist
Carl friedrich gauss
will have the associated electric field lines moving either from or toward its surface depending on the charge that it possess
infinite line of charge
are made up of electric charges
atoms
The interaction between these charges can predict how each atom will behave.
atomic models
responsible for the formation of lightning and the presence of other electrical charges in the atmosphere.
electrical breakdown of air
One of the hypothetical applications of the concept of electric charges is on their role
charged pendulums
are industrially used in cross-linking polymers in the field of materials engineering
electron
beams
Electron beams are also used to
x-rays
,
television screens and oscilloscope images
on the other hand have found their use in cancer treatment and other non invasive disease treatment
proton beams
make use of the principles of electrostatic repulsion to propel the charged ink toward the paper or material to be printed
ink jet printers
