It just means an unchanging electrical field.

Usually surrounding an item that has an electrical charge on it, due to an inbalance of electrons. Surplus electrons giving it a negative charge and a deficit a positive charge with respect to earth.

What do you mean by electric flux?

Electric flux measures the flow of electric field through a surface. It is defined as the dot product of the electric field and the normal to the surface, integrated over the surface area. It represents the number of electric field lines passing through a given area.


What does a positive mean for electric field strength?

A positive electric field strength indicates that the field is directed away from a positive charge or towards a negative charge. It signifies the direction in which a positive test charge would move if placed in the electric field.


Why does the electric field inside a dielectric decrease when it is placed in an external electric field?

The net electric field inside a dielectric decreases due to polarization. The external electric field polarizes the dielectric and an electric field is produced due to this polarization. This internal electric field will be opposite to the external electric field and therefore the net electric field inside the dielectric will be less.


Which of the following are created by an arrangement of electric charge or a current?

for apex its: a quantum field, a gravitational field


What is the relationship between the electric field equation and voltage in an electric field?

The electric field equation describes the strength and direction of the electric field at a point in space. Voltage, on the other hand, is a measure of the electric potential difference between two points in an electric field. The relationship between the electric field equation and voltage is that the electric field is related to the gradient of the voltage. In other words, the electric field is the negative gradient of the voltage.

What is electrical fields?

If you mean an electric field it is the field that surrounds an electric charge. If you have two parallel plates with positive and negative charges, the amount of electric field in the space between the plates is the voltage difference divided by the distance. Electric field E is measured in volts per metre.

What is the area around an electric charge which is strongest closest to the charged particle?

It's the electric field.


Can an electric field exist without a magnetic field?

Yes, an electric field can exist without a magnetic field. Electric fields are produced by electric charges, while magnetic fields are produced by moving electric charges. So, in situations where there are stationary charges or no current flow, only an electric field is present.


Is voltage the derivative of electric field?

No, voltage is not the derivative of electric field. Voltage is a measure of electric potential difference, while electric field is a measure of the force experienced by a charged particle in an electric field.


Moving electric charges will interact with?

Moving electric charges will interact with an electric field. Moving electric charges will also interact with a magnetic field.


What is relation between electric field intensity and electric potential?

Electric field intensity is related to electric potential by the equation E = -∇V, where E is the electric field intensity and V is the electric potential. This means that the electric field points in the direction of steepest decrease of the electric potential. In other words, the electric field intensity is the negative gradient of the electric potential.


What is the amplitude of the associated electric field?

The amplitude of the associated electric field refers to the maximum strength or intensity of the electric field. It represents the peak value of the electric field's magnitude.
