Nature of Electric Field
• Test charge is a small positive charge to sample the E-Field
• Charge of test charge is small compared to source charges (source charges are the charges that generate the field)
• E-field vectors
• E -field is the force per charge
• E-field vectors points away from + charges
• E-field vectors point towards - charges
• E -field for point charges gets weaker as distance from source point charges increases
• For a point charge E = Fe / q = [k Q q / r2] / q = k Q / r2
