III. ____________ Fields
How does a ____________ (or a collection of ____________)
exert a force on another _____________ from a distance?
charged
object B
charged
object A
Answer: By means of their electric ________________ .
(Note: The letter E can also represent ______________ .)
An electric field E exists around ___________________.
Its strength is found by placing a positive
"__________________" (any charge) q in the field and
measuring the electric force Fe that ________________.
E=
where q is the _______ charge
E is a _______________ because it has ______________ .
Its direction is given by the direction of the _____________
____________ that acts on the __________________________
that is placed in the field
units of E:
E = Fe / q
[E] =[

Ex 1: A positive charge q = 5.0 mC experiences
an electrical force of 10.0 x 103 N when placed at the
position shown.

Note:
1. The arrows represent “_________________” that act
on a ______________ test charge q.
2. E is directed _____________________ away from “____”
3. The closeness of the lines show the field ___________.
•
The arrows show ________________ because
they point ______________________.
5. Field lines _________________, because if that were
true, the field would have ______________________________
6. E is _________________________. It is NOT constant.
For a point charge:
Let q1 = the __________ charge qp,
and q2 = the __________ charge q,
Then, _________________ Law:

Note:
1. The arrows represent
“__________________________ .”
2. E is directed radially __________ towards the ___ .
3. E is __________________________. It is NOT constant.
4. The _________________ of the lines represents the field
strength.
5. The arrows show ________________because they point
__________________.
6. This E resembles Earth’s _____________________ field as it
would be seen _____________________
Ex 6: The E field around 2 __________________ charges.
Start by placing a ____ test charge q at one point.
Find resultant of the forces from both charges on q.
q

+
where Fe+ = Fe due to the ___charge
and
Fe- = Fe due to the ___charge
Then repeat for every other possible point.
The result will be…
Note:
1. Near each charge, E is like that of a ___________ charge.
2. The direction of the force at any point is ______________
to the field lines.
3. Lines are always:
____________ the “+
and ___________ the “-”
4. E lines ______________ cross b/c the net force at any
point ____________________________________.
Ex. 7:
For two _________________ charges, E will
look like:
Ex. 8: The E look like around two ______________
charges will look _______________________ but with
______________________________________
Ex. 8: The electric field around two charged

positive
negative
Notes:
1. Lines are ____________ “+" and _________________ “-”
2. Within the plates, E is _______________.
_______________ spaced lines  ____________ field

Same idea as the constant ___________________ field
near Earth’s ________________.
4. In reality, the lines near the edges ___________________
Suppose ___________________ is placed between the
plates and released from rest. The strength of the
electric field is __________________.
What direction will the
electrostatic force on it be?
Compare the electrostatic force to the gravitational
force.
Fg = w = mg =
