Electric charge — Supplement Learning Objectives
Summary
- State that charge is measured in coulombs
- Describe an electric field as a region in which an electric charge experiences a force
- State that the direction of an electric field at a point is the direction of the force on a positive charge at that point
- Describe simple electric field patterns, including the direction of the field: (a) around a point charge (b) around a charged conducting sphere (c) between two oppositely charged parallel conducting plates (end effects will not be examined)
