explain electric field due to pt change and hence explain electric intensity formula and unit
Answers
Answer:
The space around an electric charge in which it's influence can be felt is known as electric field.
The Electric field intensity at a point is the force
experienced by a unit positive charge is placed
at that point.
It is denoted by E
E=F/q
unit= NC^-1 (or) Vm^-1
Explanation:
ELECTRIC FIELD :
It is the surrounding a charge in which test charge experience a force is called electric field.
Test Charge - Small positive charge
ELECTRIC FIELD INTENSITY :
Electric field intensity at a point is defined as the force acting on a unit positive charge placed at that point .
FORMULA :
E = k ( q / r^2 )
where,
E = electric field ( it is a vector quantity )
k = proportionality constant ( in SI system the value of 'k' is 9 × 10^9 )
r = distance apart
UNIT :
The unit of electric field intensity is N/C or V/m in SI
