    We can think of the forces between charges as something that comes from a property of space. That property is called the electric field. Created by Sal Khan.

    Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    The way I gain knowledge about an unknown topic is through Khan.

But overall, without Khan, I have no bridge to higher thinking.

    Because Force it's self is a vector quantity, for example Newtons second Law states that F=m * a. In relation to electrostatics it is stating that F= q * E with q being charge and E being the field. Well when the ATTRACTION OR REPULSION of each charge has a magnitude and a DIRECTION, thus being a vector quantity, because if it just had magnitude it would only be a scalar quantity. Hope that helped.

  • @teezyjbaby08

    I am curious about something. At 9:17 in the explanation of field lines around Q, you say, "as you get closer to the source of the electric field the charge gets stronger" I did not know the charge gets stronger or weaker. I thought a charge was a charge, multiples of either negative or positive increments and was fixed. How does the charge get stronger? Does it accumulate more electrons?

    • @pokemaniac333
      @pokemaniac333 9 лет назад +1

      Kaushik Mishra It's really just convention. I suppose it's because we consider protons to have mass, and electrons have negligible mass, so when the two are attracted, the electrons tend to do the majority of the motion, so we say the field lines come from positive. That's my best guess. Again, it's just convention.

    • @pokemaniac333
      @pokemaniac333 9 лет назад

      Kaushik Mishra Actually, given more thought: by convention, we assume the E-field is how a positive charge would be affected. The electric field can be thought of as the path a positive charge that we arbitrarily insert, would go. As such, it is repelled by the positive charge and attracted to the negative charge. Hope this helps!

    • @KaushikMishrakk
      @KaushikMishrakk 9 лет назад +1

      Demon519 thanks. meanwhile even i got something - its actually with accordance to the direction of current and as its said that positive terminal has more potential than that of the negative terminal hence according to the concept of electric potential it flows from higher potential to lower potential in our case from positive to negative . but m not sure of the fact why positive terminal is considered to have higher potential.

    • @ccmiint
      @ccmiint 8 лет назад

      +Kaushik Mishra The positive terminal doesn't have a higher potential than the negative terminal. The positive terminal lacks electrons and the negative terminal has plenty. They both are equal. A 9v battery has +9 at the positive and -9 at the negative terminal.
      Arbitrarily, a positive test charge (i.e. a proton) was chosen to create the electric field line diagram so we can visualize and assign direction to charge. And it's become a convention in physics. No other reason but by choice. So what this means is that when a proton goes near a proton they will repel and when a electron goes near a proton they will attract.

    • @GordonNFleming
      @GordonNFleming 8 лет назад

      +Kaushik Mishra
      That the electric field always points in the direction of the force it will exert on a positive charge is a pure convention that was adopted long before we knew of the existence of protons or electrons, back in the 19th century.

  • @drettlinking
