Define electric field strength (EE)

Force per unit charge

General formula for EE

E=FQE = \frac{F}{Q}

EE formula for uniform field

E=VdE = \frac{V}{d}

EE formula for radial field

E=14πε0Qr2E = \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}

Uniform field line pattern

Evenly spaced parallel lines

Radial field line pattern

Lines radiating outward/inward from point charge

Work done moving charge in electric field

QΔVQ\Delta V

Path of particle in uniform electric field

Parabolic

Curve toward +ve plate indicates what charge?

Negative charge

EE in uniform vs radial field

Constant in uniform; decreases with distance in radial
