20. Electric Fields around electric charges

21. Electric Field Field E relates the electric force F on an object to its charge q Field is a vector F = qE

22. Electric field Magnitude is the force in N on a +1 C charge Direction is the direction of the force exerted on a positive charge Vectors point away from positive charges and toward negative charges Unit = N/C

23. Poll Question A positive charge experiences a force F to the right in an electric field. How does the force change if the field strength doubles? A.The force becomes 1/4 what it was (F/4).
