Q

charging uncharged objects by rubbing them

A

. when rubbing, friction is created between them
. delocalised electrons transfer from one material to another
. objects become charged

Q

field of force

A

. a refion of space where an object feels a force
. force may be gravitational, electric, magnetic, etc

17
Q

electric field is a

A

field of force

18
Q

electric fields

A

act on objects with electric charges

19
Q

magnetic fields

A

act on magnetic materials, magnets and moving charges

20
Q

gravtiational fields

A

act on objects with mass

21
Q

field lines

A

lines drawn to represent the strength and direction of a field of force

22
Q

arrows go from

A

positive to negative

23
Q

types of fields

A

. uniform field
. radial field

24
Q

uniform field

A

. same strength
. electric field between plates

25
radial field
. spreads outwards in all direction . electric field around point charge
26
earthing
electrons go to ground, 0V
27
electric field strength
the force per unit charge exertwd on a stationary positive charge at that point
28
E = F/Q
electric field strength, NC^-1
29
E = <>V / <>d
strength of uniform field betweem two parallel metal plates
30
E and V relation
proportional
31
E and d relation
indirectly proportional
32
F = eV/d
33
electron moving through negative plate at top, positive plate at bottom
electron moves down in a parabola, accelerating downwards
