MODULE 1: ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM (cont’d)

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES EXPLANATORY NOTES SUGGESTED PRACTICAL
ACTIVITIES

Electric Fields (cont’d)

Students should be able to:

3.5. calculate the force on a F = EQ
charged particle in a uniform
electric field;

3.6. describe the effect of a Consider motions
uniform electric field on the perpendicular and parallel
motion of charged particles; to the electric field.

3.7. solve numerical problems
involving the motion of
charged particles in a
uniform electric field;

3.8. compare the motion of
charged particles in a
uniform electric field to that
of a projectile in a
gravitational field;

3.9. use the fact that the field Consider the uniform
strength at a point is electric field and by
numerically equal to the determining the work done
potential gradient at that per unit charge, verify this
point; relationship. Refer to
Specific Objective 3.7.

3.10. use the equation = Compare the potential due
4 0 to a point charge with that
for the potential due to a due to a charged sphere of
point charge; and,
radius r. V is a scalar.

3.11. find the potential at a point Compare with vector
due to several charges. addition in Specific
Objectives 3.5 and 3.6.
