Physics - Fields

Force Field

An invisible area around an object where it can exert a force on other objects without physical contact, due to gravity, magnetism, or static electricity.

Gravity

The force that pulls objects towards each other, with the strength of the pull increasing with the mass of the object.

Magnetism

The force that causes materials to attract or repel each other.

Static Electricity

The build-up of electric charge on objects' surfaces, leading to sudden discharges like sparks upon contact with other objects.

Gravitational Force

The energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field, with more massive objects having stronger gravitational pulls.

Gravitational Potential Energy

Energy stored in an object due to its height above the ground, dependent on mass, height, and gravitational field strength.

Electric Fields

Invisible force fields around charged particles influencing nearby charged objects by attracting or repelling them based on their charges.

Magnetic Fields

Invisible areas around magnets where magnetic forces can attract or repel other magnets and magnetic materials, strongest near the poles and weaker farther away.
