Who discovered electric charge?

Electric charge was discovered by the French scientist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb in the late 18th century through his experiments with electrostatic forces.


What is Equipotential lines in electric field?

Equipotential lines in an electric field are imaginary lines that connect points having the same electric potential. Along these lines, no work is required to move a charge between the points, as the electric potential is the same. Equipotential lines are always perpendicular to electric field lines.


What are the two causes of electric and magnetic forces?

Electric forces are caused by the attraction or repulsion of electric charges, while magnetic forces are caused by the motion of electric charges.


Which is true of magnetic field lines but not electric firld lines apex?

Magnetic field lines always form closed loops, while electric field lines begin and end on charges. Additionally, magnetic field lines do not originate from monopoles, while electric field lines can begin and end on electric charges.


How do you compare and contrast electric forces and magnetic forces?

Electric forces and magnetic forces are both fundamental forces in nature that act on charged particles. Electric forces are created by the presence of electric charges, either attracting opposite charges or repelling like charges. Magnetic forces, on the other hand, are created by moving electric charges or magnetic materials, attracting or repelling based on the orientation of the magnetic field. While both forces involve the interaction of charged particles, electric forces are static and act on stationary charges, while magnetic forces are dynamic and act on moving charges.

What is maximum and minimum electric flux?

As we know that electric flux is the total number of electric lines of forces passing through a surface. Maximum Flux: Electric flux through a surface will be maximum when electric lines of forces are perpendicular to the surface. Minimum flux: Electric flux through a surface will be minimum or zero when electric lines of forces are parallel to the surface.


What do lines represent in an electirc field diagram?

The lines in each diagram represent an electric field. The stronger the field, the close together the lines are.

Why are the electric lines are on top of the pole?

Electric lines are on top of the pole to keep them out of the way.

How is the direction of an electric field indicate with electrical fields lines?

The direction of an electric field is indicated by the direction in which the electric field lines point. Electric field lines point away from positive charges and towards negative charges. The closer the field lines are together, the stronger the electric field in that region.


What is meant by electric field intencity?

An electric field can be represented diagrammatically as a set of lines with arrows on, called electric field-lines, which fill space. Electric field-lines are drawn according to the following rules: The direction of the electric field is everywhere tangent to the field-lines, in the sense of the arrows on the lines. The magnitude of the field is proportional to the number of field-lines per unit area passing through a small surface normal to the lines. Thus, field-lines determine the magnitude, as well as the direction, of the electric field. In particular, the field is strong at points where the field-lines are closely spaced, and weak at points where they are far apart. Electric Field intensity It was stated that the electric field concept arose in an effort to explain action-at-a-distance forces. All charged objects create an electric field which extends outward into the space which surrounds it. The charge alters that space, causing any other charged object that enters the space to be affected by this field. The strength of the electric field is dependent upon how charged the object creating the field is and upon the distance of separation from the charged object. In this section of Lesson 4, we will investigate electric field from a numerical viewpoint - the electric field strength.

What is stronger inside an atom electric forces or gravitational forces?

Electrical forces.


What do you mean by electric flux in electrostatics?

Under an electric field, magnitude and direction of electric intensity is different in every point.If the electric intensity can be defined through a closed line (direction of electric intensity will be along the tangent of any point of that line)this is called electric lines of force. Electric lines of forces passing through an closed electric surface perpendicularly, is called electric flux.
