Study Notes
Electric Charge and Electric Field
- The fundamental property of matter that gives rise to electric force is electric charge.
- The SI unit of electric charge is the coulomb (C).
Electric Field Due to a Positive Charge
- The direction of the electric field at a point due to a positive charge is radially outward from the charge.
- The electric field due to a positive charge is radial and outward, and its magnitude decreases with distance from the charge.
Electric Potential Energy
- When two like charges are brought closer, their electric potential energy increases.
Electric Field and Electric Potential
- Electric field and electric potential are related, with the electric field being the negative gradient of the electric potential.
