Analogy The electric field is the space around an electrical charge just like a gravitational field is the space around a mass.

Electric Field Space around a charge.

What is the difference?

Electric Field Vector, E E = F/ qo qo , positive test charge E is a vector quantity Unit: N/C E is analogous to the gravitational field, g, where g=F/m

Example 1 A charge of 3µC is used to test the electric field of a central charge that causes a force of 800N. What is the magnitude of the electric field? E= 800/3x106 Answer: 2.7 x108 N/C

Electric Field Lines

Electric Field Lines of two Positive Charges

Electric Field Lines Lines that indicate the strength and direction of the electric field. The more dense the lines, the stronger the field. Electric field vectors are tangent to the curve. Simulation http://online.cctt.org/physicslab/content/applets/pointcharges/elefi_z.htm

Conductors and Electric Fields (under electrostatic conditions) “The electric field is zero inside a charged conductor”. “Excess charge on an isolated conductor resides on the surface”. “Excess charge accumulates on sharp points”. Electric field lines meet the conductor perpendicular to the surface of the conductor.

Shielding The electric field is zero inside a charged conductor.

Which field is stronger? A B

Electric Field for a Point Charge Using E=F/qo and Coulomb’s Law prove: E = k Q ______ d2 where Q is the central charge.

Example 2 A test charge of +3µC is located 5m to the east of a -4µC charge. A) Find the electric force felt by the test charge. B) Find the electric field at that location. Answer: 4.32x10-3 N, 1.44 x 103 N/C along the –x axis.
