It is tempting to regard the equations for electric fields and electric potentials as being separate things but they are so closely related that they are best viewed as different sides of the same coin. This is because electric field strength is the same as potential gradient. Or to put it another way, the electric … Continue reading Electric Field & Electric Potential
Electric fields
A field, in physics, is a region of space where one object can affect another object without the two objects touching each other. The most familiar fields are gravitational and magnetic but now we need to gain some understanding of electric fields and their shapes. Let's start with a quick recap of what we know … Continue reading Electric fields
