An equipotential line is a line joining points having the same potential. Distance between lines for equal increment of potential for electric field due to point charges is always increasing. Distance between lines for equal increment of potential for electric field due to parallel plate is always the same. A positive test charge will tend to move to a lower …
Electric Potential at a point in an electric field is the work done per unit charge by an external agent in bringing a positive test charge from infinity to that particular point without acceleration. Various equations for electric potential: $$V = \frac{W}{q}$$ , where $$V = \frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_{o} r}$$ , where $V = Er$ , where Electric potential of …
A charged particle in an electric field experiences a force and will accelerate (if there is a net resultant force). If the charged particle is at rest or if the electric field is parallel to the particle’s motion, the magnitude of velocity of the particle will change. When a charged particle is placed in an uniform electric field, in absence …
The electric field lines are parallel to the direction of force experienced by a positive test charge placed at that point. Basic Conventions When Drawing Field Lines When 2 or more charges are placed in the vicinity of each other, the resultant E-field shape will be a combination of the individual E-field. Electric Field Lines From A Positively Charged Sphere …
The coulomb’s law states that the electrostatic force between two point charges is proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. $F = \frac{Q_{1} Q_{2}}{4 \pi \epsilon_{o} r^{2}}$ , where Like charges, repulsion occurs. F is positive.Unlike charges, attraction occurs. F is negative. Electric Field Strength The electric field strength …
Charging by Conduction (Contact) Detailed Procedure for Charging Conductors by Conduction Charging by Induction Detailed Procedure for Charging Conductors by Induction Note: The location of the grounding connection is irrelevant to the outcome of the induction process. Charging by High Voltage Direct Current (D.C.) This method involves the application of a high-voltage direct current to a conductor. By connecting one …
A field is the region of space in which a body experiences a force as a result of the presence of some other body. An electric field is a region of space in which a force acts on an object due to it’s electrical charge and the presence of some source that creates the field. Conservation Of Charges Conservation of …
