Unusual dipoles:
Electrogenic fish
• Dipole +
nearby conducting object
Some fish generate charge
separation - electric dipole.
Dipole is induced in nearby
(conducting) fish
Small changes detected by
fish.

The idea of electric fields
• EM wave made up of
oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
• But what is an electric field?
• Electric field is a way to describe the force on
a charged particle due to other charges
around it.
• Force = charge  electric field
• The direction of the force is the direction of
the electric field.

Electric field
• Electric field vector defined at every point in
space.
• Gives magnitude and direction of force on
test particle
e.g. wind velocity
(speed and
direction) in
different parts of
the country.
8
Superposition with Electric Fields
• At any point P, the total electric field due to a group of
source charges equals the vector sum of electric fields of
all the charges
Find the electric field due to q1, E1
Find the electric field due to q2, E2
E = E1 + E2

Remember, the fields add as vectors

Electric Field Direction
• a) q is positive, F is
•
•
•
directed away from q
b) The direction of E is
also away from the
positive source charge
c) q is negative, F is
directed toward q
d) E is also toward the
negative source charge
11
Relationship Between F and E
• Fe = qE
 Valid for a test charge
that does not disturb the
source charge distribution
• If q is positive, F and E are in the same direction

Electric field: summary
• Electric field ->
will be a force on a charged particle.
• This force ( and electric field) can arise from
electric charges (via Coulomb’s law)
• But once electric field is known, don’t need
to know the charges that produce it.
15

•
