PHYSICS 5C Chapter Notes - Chapter 21: Field Line, Electric Field, Test Particle
Document Summary
A map of the magnitude and the direction of the electric force that would be felt by a positive test charge at any location. The electric field is given by i =. Electric field lines a pictorial method for representing the magnitude and direction of the electric field in a region of space. Continuous charge distributions a collection of excess charges that are both tightly packed together and extended in space such that the charge can be treated as a continuous charge density rather than as individual point charges. A test charge placed in that electric field experiences a force due to the field. Action at a distance force describes the interaction between objects that are not close enough to each other for their constituent atoms to be considered touching. Ee a charged rubber comb can attract neutral bits of paper from all around it across many mm of distance because of.
