Study Notes
Electric Fields
- An electric field is a region around a charged particle or object where the force of the electric field can be detected.
Representation of Electric Fields
- Electric fields are represented by electric field lines or lines of force, which emerge from positive charges and enter negative charges.
- The direction of the electric field lines is tangent to the line at any point.
Origin of Electric Field Lines
- Electric field lines originate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges.
- The number of lines emerging from a positive charge is proportional to the magnitude of the charge.
- Electric field lines can never intersect or cross each other.
