Lesson 3

Cards (8)

  • Exert a force on the other charged objects even though they are at some distance away.
    ELECTRIC FIELD
  • He introduced the use of electric field lines of force to map out electric field.
    Michael Faraday
  • Electric field lines directed outward
    Isolated positive charge
  • Electric field lines directed inward
    Isolated negative charge
  • The greater the number of lines of force, the ___ the electric field.
    stronger
  • Strength of the electric field at a point due to the source charge

    ELECTRIC FIELD INTENSITY
  • Measure of the number of field lines passing through a surface.
    ELECTRIC FLUX
  • Relates electric field, electric flux, and electric charge.
