Reading Quiz The voltage (or electric potential) of a battery determines how much work the battery can do on an electric charge. how much net electric charge is in the battery. how much electric field is around the battery. Quiz 1 Two equal charges are 1 meter apart. If the distance between them is increased 4 times, what increase in each charge is require to keep the force between them the same. 2 times Square root 2 4 times 8 times Quiz 2 Electric field lines Start on a positive charge and go to infinity Start on a negitive charge and go to infinity Start on a positive charge and end on a negitive charge Can start and end on any charge sign is not important Quiz 5 * Electrostatics: Force - Coulomb’s Law A Vector law The electric field. E The electric field is a vector field Electric potential. A scalar -like work Two positive charges exert equal but oppositely directed forces upon one another, according to Coulomb’s law and Newton’s third law of motion. Coulomb’s Law: The electrostatic force between two charged objects is proportional to the quantity of each of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges. Coulomb’s Law: Note: looks a lot like Newton’s law of Gravitation. If both charges are negative, the force is also repulsive. If one is positive and the other negative, the force is attractive. If a system contains many charges, the net force (vector) on any one of them is the (vector) sum of the individual forces from the individual charges (superposition). Electric Field: The electric field at a given point in space is the electric force per unit positive charge that would be exerted on a charge if it were placed at that point. E = F/qo It is a vector having the same direction as the force on a positive charge. The direction of the electric field lines around a positive charge can be found by imagining a positive test charge q0 placed at various points around the source charge. The field has the same dire
