- In a uniform electric field, the field strength is the same everywhere
- A uniform field can be produced by connecting two parallel plates to opposite poles of a battery
E=V/d
E= electric field strength
V= potential difference between the two plates
d= distance between the two plates
When drawing uniform electric fields remember to:
- Use a ruler - electric field lines are parallel and evenly spaced
- The closer together the lines are - the stronger the electric field
