Free charges in an E-field
|
||
The force on a charged particle is given by F = qE.
|
||
If the charge is free to move, it will accelerate in the direction of the force.

Trick for working out Net field
|
||
Look for symmetry in the problem.
|
||
To find the E-field, usually several components (Ex , Ey , Ex ) must be found independently.
|
||
If the effects of charges will cancel out, you can neglect those charges.
|
||
If the effects of charges cancel out in one component, just worry about the other component(s).

Electric Dipole (Example 23.7)
|
||
As we move away from the dipole (red line, r −3) the E-field falls off faster than it does for a point charge (blue line, r −2).
|
||
The negative charge partially shields the effect of the positive charge and vice versa.
