Define the followingA) electric field B) electric potential |
|
Answer» Answer: Electric field is defined as the electric force per unit CHARGE. The direction of the field is taken to be the direction of the force it would exert on a positive TEST charge. The electric field is radially outward from a positive charge and radially in TOWARD a negative point charge.The electric potential is the amount of work energy needed to move a unit of electric charge from a reference point to the specific point in an electric field with NEGLIGIBLE acceleration of the test charge to avoid producing kinetic energy or RADIATION by test charge |
