1 of 15
Electrical conductors contains what?
Lots of free electrons
2 of 15
Insulating materials contains what?
Electrons that are attached to individual atoms
3 of 15
What does any two charged objects do?
Exert equal and oppostie forces on each other without being directly in contact
4 of 15
What surrounds a charge?
An electric field
5 of 15
What is line of force or field line?
It is the path that a free postive test charge follows
6 of 15
Where is a field line strongest?
Where the lines are most concentrated
7 of 15
At what angle do a field line hit any plate?
90 degrees
8 of 15
Between two oppositively charges plates, what are the field lines said to be?
Parallel, therefore making the field uniform
9 of 15

When the objest is charged
10 of 15
What is electric field strength?
It is the force per unit charge on a postive test charge at that point.

E=F/Q
13 of 15
Name a few properties of an electric field
electric fields strenght are vectors and travel in the same direction as the force on the postive test charge.
14 of 15
The force on a small charge is?
in the opposite direction to the electric field if the charge is negative.
