A field is an area or volume that has a number, representing some quantity, assigned to every location.
That number can be a scalar or a vector.
A football field has numbers assigned in one dimension
Define the concept of a field

A weather map is an example of a scalar field.
Every point on the map has a scalar quantity associated with it. In this case, it’s temperature.
For example, the temperature in NP is about 75o

We can also define a field in terms of vectors.

• Any charge will set up an electric field around it.
•It exerts an electric force on any other charged object within the field.
•It is defined as the force per positive charge.
Don’t confuse the charge that creates the field with the charge that reacts to the field
The Electric Field (E) is a vector field

All electric charges set up an electric field around themselves. To determine the direction of an electric field at any given point, a positive point charge or test charge is used.
A positive point charge is like a point or an infinitely small spot that has a single positive charge.
Convention states that when testing an electric field, always use a positive point charge, never a negative one.

Electric Fields are always tested with positive point charges.
Remember: Positive Point charges come from your Pants Pocket

Electric field for a positive charge

Draw the electric field for a negative charge.

Drawing Electric Fields
1. The lines must begin on positive charges and end on negative charges, or at infinity.
2. The number of lines drawn leaving a positive charge or approaching a negative charge is proportional to the amount of charge.
![Page 14: A field is an area or volume that has a number, representing some quantity, assigned to every location. That number can be a scalar or a vector. A football](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649f425503460f94c621b0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. Field lines may not cross or touch each other.
4. Field lines must meet conductors or charges perpendicular to the surface of the conductor or charge.
This implies that the vector sum has two
values---which it can’t

Consider a positive charge in space.
The Electric Field is used to describe the effect of this charge at some point in
space.
![Page 19: A field is an area or volume that has a number, representing some quantity, assigned to every location. That number can be a scalar or a vector. A football](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649f425503460f94c621b0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Consider a positive charge in space.

If a positive point charge (+1) is placed at that point, a force will be exerted on it by the original charge.
Let’s say, the force is 10 N.
10 N

+
Consider a positive charge in space.
Then we can say, whenever a charge is placed at that point, for every coulomb of charge, it will have a force of 10 N act on it.
We say the electric field at that point is 10 N per coulomb.
E = 10 N/C
![Page 21: A field is an area or volume that has a number, representing some quantity, assigned to every location. That number can be a scalar or a vector. A football](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649f425503460f94c621b0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
+
Consider a positive charge in space.
In general, we say F = Q E
If a 3 C charge is placed there, the force on it would be 3 C x 10 N/C or 30 N.
