Unit 9: Coulomb's Law and the Electric Field

For the Quiz:

• Understand the basic laws of attraction and repulsion between positive, negative, and neutral charges
• Be able to relate the amount of charge in Coulombs to the amount of electrons
• Be able to understand and apply Coulomb's Law
• Understand what an electric field is and how it affects other charges
• Understand how the direction of an electric field is defined and how it is drawn
• Understand how to vectorally add both electric forces and electric fields
• Understand what Gauss's Law is and how to apply it for a point charge/sphere of charge, line of charge/cylinder of charge, and a sheet of charge
• Understand how charges are distributed on a conductor vs. non conductor
• Understand how to apply Gauss's Law on the inside of a conductor vs. nonconductor
• Understand the concepts of linear, surface, and volume charge densities
• Understand the relationship between electric field created by a charge and how that electric field exerts a force on a second charge
