Glossary

Electric Field: A region of space around a charged object where other charges experience a force.

Перевод
Зарядталған объекттің айналасындағы кеңістік, онда басқа зарядтар күшке ұшырайды.

Electric Force: The force exerted by a charged object on another charged object.

Перевод
Зарядталған объекттің басқа зарядталған объектке әсер ететін күші.

Field Strength: The force experienced by a unit positive charge in an electric field.

Перевод
Электр өрісіндегі бірлік оң зарядқа әсер ететін күш.

Potential Difference: The work done to move a charge between two points in an electric field.

Перевод
Электр өрісіндегі екі нүкте арасындағы зарядты жылжыту үшін жасалған жұмыс.
Theory:

Theory

Electric fields are created by charged particles. The strength of an *electric field* depends on the charge and distance from the source. The electric field (-field-) strength is calculated using the formula:

E = F/q

Where:

  • *E* is the electric field strength,
  • *F* is the force exerted on the test charge,
  • *q* is the magnitude of the test charge.

The direction of the field is determined by the direction of the force experienced by a positive charge.

Key terms include -charge-, -potential difference-, and -field strength-.

Examples

Example: Calculate the electric field strength if a 3 C charge experiences a force of 15 N.

Electric field calculation example

Solution
Using E = F/q:
E = 15 N / 3 C = 5 N/C.

Investigation Task:

Investigation Task

Use the simulation below to explore the behavior of electric fields around charges:


Answer
When like charges are placed near each other, their fields repel. Opposite charges attract, and the field lines move from positive to negative.
