Electric Fields and Matter
... Charged objects are attracted or repelled by other charged objects, but they are also attracted to electrically neutral objects. This is possible because of a process known as polarization. ...

Chapter 1 Semiconductors THE ELECTRON IN ELECTRIC
... Now, we can describe current flow between two metal plates. If a voltage is applied across the two metal conductors with just vacuum in between the two conductors, obviously no current flows between the two plates in the vacuum. There will be an electric field (E = Vs/x, where x is the distance betw ...

IB Physics Review -Electrostatics and Fields
... In a simple model of a thundercloud, a negative charge is built up on the base of the cloud by the process of charge separation. The resulting electric field between the cloud and the ground is approximately the same as that between two infinite parallel charged plates. When the charge on the base o ...
