6.2+Electric+force+and+field

Back to HOME > IB PHYSICS > FIELDS AND FORCES =6.2 Electric force and field= 6.2.1 State that there are two types of electric charge. 6.2.2 State and apply the law of conservation of charge. 6.2.3 Describe and explain the difference in the electrical properties of conductors and insulators. 6.2.4 StateCoulomb’s law. (Students should be aware that the charges in the force law are point charges.

6.2.5 Define electric field strength. (Students should understand the concept of a test charge.) 6.2.6 Determine the electric field strength due to one or more point charges.

6.2.7 Draw the electric field patterns for different charge configurations. (These include the fields due to the following charge configurations: a point charge, a charged sphere, two point charges, and oppositely charged parallel plates. The latter includes the edge effect. Students should understand what is meant by radial field.)

6.2.8 Solve problems involving electric charges, forces and fields.
