4.2 Movement of a charged particle in an electric field

In the previous section we have seen that when the field intensity is high sparks can fly. These are charged particles which move in the field. To understand some of the characteristics of their movement use the following visual:

 

 

 

 

Electric force
What we already know
Coulomb's law
More than two charged particles
Conclusions

Field intensity
Lines of force
Conclusions
Potential energy and potential
What are these magnitudes?
Superposition. Work in the field
