Electric field midterm 1 gr 12

A ………………produces an electric field in the space around it

source charged body Q

We use a small ……….. q0 to find out if an electric field is present

test charge

The field “𝑬” strength decreases with ……..

distance.

increasing

In some situations the magnitude and direction of

the field have the same values everywhere

throughout a certain region; we then say that the

field is ………… in this region

uniform

When Q is positive the electric field points radially ……. from q

outward

When the Q is negative the electric field points radially ……. towards Q

inward

An …………. is an imaginary line or curve whose

tangent at any point is the direction of the electric field vector

at that point.
