WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC FIELD?
Field around a charged particle, where
another charge experience a force.
E
Electric field strength is the force acting per
unit charge.
E = F/Q unit N/C or NCˉˡ
It is a vector quantity
COULOMB’S LAW
Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of
the electrostatic force between two point
charges is directly proportional to the
product of the magnitudes of the charges
and inversely proportional to the square of
the distance between them.
According to coulombs law,
since E = F/q
E = k Q/r²
