Chapter 21 Electric Fields Electric Field A property of space around a charged object that causes forces on other charged objects. Vector quantity It has both direction and magnitude The direction of the force is away from the positive and towards the negative. The electric field is the strongest when the lines are close together Field lines do not exist-only a pictorial guide.

Chapter 21 Electric Fields The electric potential difference ( V) is the work done in moving a test charge in an electric field divided by the magnitude of the test charge. Electric potential difference is measured in joules per coulomb. One joule per coulomb is a volt.

Capacitor A device that stores a charge As charge is added, the potential of the body increases. For a given charge, the ratio of the charge to the potential q/V is a constant. Capacitance is the ability to store a charge. C Capacitance (farads) q Charge (Coulombs) V Potential (Volts) Chapter 21 Electric Fields
