The Electric Field


Definition of the electric field. Whenever charges are present and if I bring up another charge, it will feel a net Coulomb force from all the others. It is convenient to say that there is field there equal to the force per unit positive charge. E=F/q0. The direction of the electric field is along r and points in the direction a positive test charge would move. This idea was proposed by Michael Faraday in the 1830s. The idea of the field replaces the charges as defining the situation. Consider two point charges: r q1 q0

r q1 The Coulomb force is F= kq1q0/r2 The force per unit charge is E = F/q0 and then the electric field at r is E = kq1/r2 due to the point charge q1 . The units are Newton/Coulomb. The electric field has direction and is a vector. How do we find the direction.? The direction is the direction a unit positive test charge would move. r E If q1 were positive + q0

Electric Field Lines: a graphic concept used to draw pictures as an aid to develop intuition about its behavior.
The text shows a few examples. Here are the drawing rules.

E-field lines begin on + charges and end on - charges. (or infinity). They enter or leave charge symmetrically. The number of lines entering or leaving a charge is proportional to the charge The density of lines indicates the strength of E at that point. At large distances from a system of charges, the lines become isotropic and radial as from a single point charge equal to the net charge of the system. No two field lines can cross.
