Study Notes
Coulomb's Law and Electric Force
- The magnitude of the force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
- Two charges exert forces on each other that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
- If the distance between two charges is halved, the force between them increases fourfold.
Electric Field
- Electric field intensity is a measure of the strength of an electric field at a point.
- The electric field intensity under a power line is directly proportional to the voltage of the power line and inversely proportional to the distance from the power line.
- Electric flux is a measure of the number of electric field lines passing through a given surface.
- Gauss's law states that the net electric flux through any closed surface is proportional to the enclosed charge.
Electric Potential
- Electric potential energy represents the energy possessed by a charge due to its position in an electric field.
- Electric potential is the potential energy per unit charge.
- The unit of potential is Joules per Coulomb (J/C), which is also known as Volt (V).
