The only objectives of this presentation is to draw electric field patterns due to system with isolated point charges.

1. ELECTRIC FORCES
AND FIELDS

2. draw electric field patterns
due to system with isolated
point charges.

OBJECTIVES

3. 18.7 Electric Field Lines
An isolated point, positive charge:

4. 18.7 Electric Field Lines

5. 18.7 Electric Field Lines
Electric field lines are always directed away from positive
charges.

6. Electric field of a negative
point charge

7. Electric field of a negative
point charge
The electric field lines are directed radially inward toward a
negative point charge.

8. Electric field between two
parallel plates

9. Electric Dipole
An electric dipole consists of two separated point charges
that have the same magnitude but opposite signs.

10. Electric Dipole
An electric dipole consists of two separated point charges
that have the same magnitude but opposite signs.

11. Electric Dipole
An electric dipole consists of two separated point charges
that have the same magnitude but opposite signs.
Many molecules, such as H2O and HCl, have dipole moments.

12. Electric field between two
parallel plates

13. Electric field lines of a dipole

14. Electric field lines of a dipole
Electric field lines always begin on a positive charge and end on a
negative charge. The number of lines leaving a positive charge or
entering a negative charge is proportional to the magnitude of the
charge.

15. Electric field of two like
point charges

16. Thank You..!
