2.2 Analysing the relationship between electric current and potential dierence
1. ____________________ is an area where the electric force is acting.
2. If a positive test charge is located at a point A within the electric field, this charge will be
________________ by the electric field outwardly through a point B.
3. This positive test charge oves because of the e!istence of the electric
__________________________ between point A and B.
". If the positive test charge is oved fro point B to point A, the wor! is done to oppose the
electric force.
#. Potential dierence or "oltage# $ between A and B is defined as the ________________ to
ove a unit charge fro B to A within an electric field.

/. 0h12s Law states that the current, I flows through an electric conductor is
__________________________ to the potential difference, $ across two ends of the conductor,
with the conditions that the teperature and the physical state of the conductor do not change.
%. A conductor which produces graph $&I with a straight line passing through the origin of the
graph is said obeys 'h(s )aw and is *nown as an ___________ conductor. Those which do
not have such characteristic are *nown as _________________ conductor.
