Gravitational Field The force, FG, acting on a unit mass placed at each point in space. The gravitational field, g, due to a point mass
Uneven distribution of Earth’s gravitational field at surface.
Picturing E Field and G Fields • Electric Field lines or “lines of force”. • The tangent to a field line is the direction of the E field at that point. • The flux through an area is the total number of field lines that pass through the area. • The field lines are closer together where the field is greater, i. e. the flux density is greater. • Flux density is the number of lines of force per unit area where the area is perpendicular to the lines.
Field due to point charges − The flux density and therefore the E field obeys inverse square law. − Field lines start on positive charges and end on negative charges. − Field lines can never cross. pos neg

Electric potential A scalar field, not a vector field. Potential difference is work done to move unit charge from one position to another position.
Consider a constant E field region: e. g. , between the plates of a capacitor. ΔV = - E Δx d. V = - E dx giving the equation: E is the negative of the gradient of V Thus, the scalar field V can be used to deduce the vector field E

Example 1: The voltage between the anode and cathode of an electron gun is 2500 V. What is the velocity of the electrons emitted from the gun?
Example 2: A parallel plate capacitor consists of two large plates that are 2. 00 cm apart. The potential difference between the plates is 4. 00 V. A) What is the electric field at a distance of 0. 5 cm from the negative plate? B) If a charge of 50. 0 μC is released at a distance 0. 500 cm from the positive plate, what will be its KE when it arrives at the negative plate?
Electric potential Reference point is at infinity, where potential V = 0. We do work to move a charge q from infinity to a distance r from a point charge Q.
