10 Questions
What is the unit of charge?
Coulomb
What is electric charge?
A fundamental property of matter that can be either positive or negative
What is Coulomb's law?
The force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their magnitudes and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
What is the electric field?
A property of space around a charged object that exerts a force on other charged objects placed in that field
What is Gauss's law?
Relates the electric field to the distribution of charge
What is Coulomb's law?
The force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their magnitudes and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
What is the unit of electric charge?
Coulomb (C)
What are electric field lines used for?
To represent both the direction and magnitude of the electric field
What is the superposition principle?
The total electric field at a point due to multiple charges is the vector sum of the individual electric fields produced by each charge.
What is Gauss's law?
The electric flux through a closed surface is directly proportional to the net charge enclosed by that surface.
