Q

coulomb’s law is applicable to?
what is a point charge?
can electron be considered point charge?
charged sphere behave as? reason? exception? why?

A
  • applicable only to point charges & uniform spherical charge destribution.
  • an imaginary charge located at a single point in space.
  • yes
  • behave as point charge for a point outside the spherical conductor
  • cz
  • only true if the spherical conductor is isolated.

Q

electric field intensity?
vector/scalar? contains info abt?
the strength of the field at a point in space determines?

the direction with whch the positive test charge will move or tends to move is the direction of ?

A
  • the force per unit positive test charge at any point is called efi at that point
  • vector
  • info abt field strength & its direction at that point
  • determines the amount of force that a charge will experiance if placed at that point.
  • electric field

Q

field lines of 2 +ve charges? neutral points? what abt 2
-ve charges?
field is ____ b/w the charges?

A

points where resultant intensity is zero
same but directions are reversed
weaker

17
Q

fringing field? how is it formed?

18
Q

do field line intersect?
for the field lines to start & end at infinity?
what gives the direction of intensity? what do the arrows indicate?
electric lines orginiate from?
intensity of electric field is proportional to?
when are lines of force close in the region?
what explains attraction b/w opp charged bodies?

19
Q

potential gradient? potential difference? simply?

20
Q

derive for potential gradient?
what does the equation show?
how is the unit of electric field V/m?

A

what is negative sign for?

21
Q

motion of charged particle in an electric field?
charge +q?

A

if the charge is allowed to move freely in an electric field, it will move from +ve plate to -ve plate & gain K.E
if the charge is moved against the electric field by an external force.
if the charge is relaed form pint

22

ferrofluid?
draw electric field lines for positive, negative & 2 opposite charges
2 +ve charges?

23
Q

explain how a faraday cage works?
