    Electric field in English notes

    To use the concept of an electric field to explain this


    arrangement, the electric charges in contact do not affect
    each other in magnitude.
    Just as there is a gravitational force between two
    objects, there is an electric force between two objects.
    Electric force binds electrons and nuclei together to form
    atoms. By combining those atoms together creates liquid,
    solid and molecules.
    Electrical forces are numerically greater in
    magnitude than gravitational forces.

    9.1 Coulomb law


    French scientist Charles Augustin de Coulomb studied
    the forces of attraction and repulsion between charges
    and discovered Coulomb's Law.
    According to Coulomb's law, the electric force
    between two charges is directly proportional to the
    product of the charges and inversely proportional to the
    square of the distance between them.
    -Equation  F= K Q1Q2 by r square

    9.2 Electric Field and Electric Field Intensity


    Electric field can be interpreted as the place where
    electric charges occur.
    Electric field intensity
    If an electric charge is placed on top of an electric
    field, an electric force can be exerted. To determine the
    electric field, we need to know the electric field intensity.
    Electric field intensity can be expressed by vector E =
    vector F by q.

    9.3 Electric lines of force


    This concept of lines of force was developed by
    Michael Faraday to help visualize the electric field. Those
    lines are imaginary lines.
    Electric lines of force tend to be close together when the
    electric field intensity is high, and are far apart when the
    intensity is low.

    9.4 Electric charge distribution.


    If an electric current is applied to an electrode of any
    shape, it is seen to spread to the outer surface of the
    material. However, it is not evenly distributed.

    The more curved surfaces an object has, the greater the


    concentration of charge.

    Electric field inside a charged conducting object


    A charged object is said to have an electric field
    around it. However, due to the individual charges on the
    surface of the charged object, the electric field dissipates
    within the object.
    Therefore, the electric field anywhere inside the charged
    object is zero.

    Non-uniform Electric field and Uniform electric field


    If the intensity of the electric field varies from point
    to point in the electric field. It is called non uniform
    electric field.
    If the magnitude and direction of the electric field are
    the same at every point, It is called uniform electric field.
