Electric field
The region surrounding a charge object in which it can exert and electrical force
New cards
3
Line of force
One of a number of imaginary lines, defining the direction and intensity of the force exerted by the field, at all points surrounding an electric charge or magnet
New cards
4
Test charge
A positive charge small enough that it does not disort an electric field, and that is used to determine the direction of the electric field vector
