Analysing Electric Fields & Charge Flow

Terminology
Electric charge, Q
Electric current, I

Explanation
The product of number of electrons and the
charge of one electron
The rate of charge flows
Electric current, I = Electric charge, Q
Time, t

Formula
Q = ne

Electric filed can be represented by arrow lines called ___________________ or

________________________.
The electric field is the _________ where the electric field lines of forces are close
together.
The electric field lines of force never cross over and they start on ________ charges
and end on ________ charges.
The electric field lines of force is a _____________ as it has both force and
direction.
The _________ of the electric field is determined by the direction of _____ on a
positive charge placed in each electric field.
