Any charged particle will have an…

Electric field around it

The field is caused by the presence of a charged particle.

A charged particle will experience a force in an electric field.

Electric fields can be used to accelerate charged particles.

4
New cards

Field lines closer together =

stronger electric field strength.

5
New cards

Field lines further apart =

weaker electric field strength.

6
New cards

Single point charge

A localized charge that generates an electric field in the surrounding space, influencing other charges within that field.

Uniform field

An electric field in which the force on a charged particle is constant in magnitude and direction throughout the region.
