Electric field is a special substance existing in the space around electric charge and changing magnetic field. This kind of material is different from the ordinary physical objects. Although it is not composed of molecular atoms, it is objective existence It is a special substance with the objective properties of force and energy that ordinary substances possess. [1]
The force of electric field is characterized by: electric field has Force , this force is called Electric field force The nature of the energy of the electric field is that when the charge moves in the electric field, the electric field force does work on the charge, indicating that the electric field has energy.

In the 1830s, Faraday, an English scientist, put forward the idea that "there is an electric field generated by the electric charge". Later, physical theories and experiments not only confirmed Faraday's idea, but also proved that the electric field is an objective form of matter. The electric field is invisible and untouchable, in order to visually describe the points in the electric field electric field intensity Faraday also introduced Electric field line The concept of. [8]
Charged body Special substances around. The basic property of the electric field is to exert a powerful effect on the electric charge put into it. The interaction between charges is always carried out through an electric field. [4]
Differentiate and analyze two different electric fields: Coulomb electric field and Induced electric field Coulomb electric field is the electric field excited by the electric charge according to the Coulomb law, such as electrostatic field It is determined by the static electric charge Coulomb's law What is excited belongs to coulomb electric field, which can be found around various charged bodies. [5]
Induced electric field It is excited by the changing magnetic field, press Maxwell theory The changing magnetic field excites an electric field around it. for example Bar magnet When the coil is inserted, the moving magnet changes the surrounding magnetic field, thus producing Eddy electric field , vortex electric field generates Induced electromotive force This electric field is the induced electric field [5]
The electric field generated by static charge in its surrounding space is called electrostatic field; The electric field excited by the time-varying magnetic field in its surrounding space is called Induced electric field The electric field in general is the sum of electrostatic field and induced electric field. The electric field is a Vector field , its direction is the force direction of the positive charge. [1]

Basic properties

  2. two
    Electric field can generate conductors put into electric field Electrostatic induction Phenomenon. [6]

electrostatic field

An electrostatic field is an electric field excited by a static charge. This static charge is called Field source charge , referred to as source charge. The electric field line of electrostatic field starts from positive charge or infinity and ends at infinity or negative charge The electric field line direction of the electrostatic field is closely related to the field source charge. When the field source charge is positive, the electric field line of the electric field is divergent; When the field source charge is negative, the electric field line of the electric field is convergent. The work done by the electric field force moving charge is independent of the path. use Potential difference Describe the nature of the energy of the electric field, or use Equipotential surface Visually illustrate the distribution of electric field potential. [7]
In electrostatic field Electric field intensity formula E=F/q. Unit: Newton The symbol is N/C per coulomb. Its other unit is Volts Per meter (V/m), the relationship between the two units is 1N/C=1V/m. [7]

Induced electric field

The electric field excited by the changing magnetic field is called Induced electric field or Eddy electric field Maxwell proposed that "the changing magnetic field will excite an electric field in the space around it, and it is this electric field that makes Closed loop Produced in Induced electromotive force and Induced current ”This electric field is called Eddy electric field The electric field line of induced electric field is closed, without starting point and ending point. A closed electric field line surrounds a changing magnetic field. [7]

electric field intensity

A charge q at a certain position in the electric field, and its electric force F at that point is equal to Charge quantity The ratio of Q is called electric field intensity , referred to as field strength. [6]
Definition formula:
[6]
Direction: At some point positive charge suffer Direction of force Is the direction of field strength at this point. [6]
The electric field strength of each point in the electric field is independent of whether the charge is put in. [6]
In the same space, if several static charges generate electric fields in the space at the same time, the field strength at a point in the space is the sum of the field strength vectors generated at that point when the field source charges exist alone. [6]
Point charge The field strength formula of point charge Q at a point in vacuum is:
Q is the size of the field source charge that generates the electric field. R is the distance from the studied point to the field source charge. [6]
The definition of electric field strength is based on the electric field Force Characteristics. Charge excited electrostatic field And variable magnetic field Eddy electric field All apply. The characteristic of electric field is that it exerts an electric force on the charge Electric field direction Same, negative charge The force direction is opposite to the electric field direction. Electric field is a kind of material with energy. Where the electric field is strong, the energy of the electric field is large. [7]
The force of electric field on electric charge can be determined when the electric field strength is known, dielectric ( insulator )Of Electric breakdown It is related to the field strength. [7]
The electric field strength of the point charge is determined by the point charge, and Tentative charge irrelevant. [7]

Electric field line

Electric field line It is a false curve drawn to visually depict the distribution of electric field. The tangent The direction is the field strength direction of the point. The density of these curves indicates the size of the field strength in this area. The field is strong where the electric field lines are dense, and vice versa. [6]
Characteristics of electric field line: [4]
  1. one
    The tangent direction of a point is the direction of the electric field intensity at that point. [4]
  2. two
    The density of electric field lines indicates the strength of electric field. [4]
  3. three
    The electric field lines of the electrostatic field are neither closed nor intersected, starting from the positive charge (infinity) and ending at the negative charge (infinity). [4]
  4. four
    The electric field line is perpendicular to the equipotential surface and along the direction of the electric field line potential Lower. [4]
  5. five
    Uniform electric field The electric field lines of are parallel. [4]
Understand and master the electric field line distribution of the electric field formed by positive point charges, negative point charges, two equal amounts of the same charge, and two equal amounts of different charges. [4]
Electric field line is not the track of electric charge movement, nor is it objective existence Line. Under special conditions, charged particle Of path of particle It can coincide with the electric field line. These special conditions are: [4]
  1. one
    The electric field line is a straight line; [4]
  2. two
    The initial velocity of charged particles is zero or the direction of initial velocity is on the same line with the direction of electric field line; [4]
  3. three
    Charged particles are only affected by electric force. [4]
The above three points must be met at the same time. [4]

Superposition of electric field

The electric field is a vector, if there are several Charged body Coexistence, then their electric fields are superposed, that is, Ep=E1+E2, following Parallelogram rule [4]
Electric field force F: the force that the electric charge receives in the electric field. [4]
Size F=Eq. [4]
Direction: the direction of positive charge receiving electric field force is the same as E, and the direction of negative charge receiving electric field force is opposite to E. [4]

Skills for judging the magnitude and direction of electric field strength

(1) electric field intensity Judgment skills of the size of
① Judging by the density of electric field lines, the denser the electric field lines are, the greater the field strength is, the thinner the electric field lines are, and the smaller the field strength is.
② According to equivalency Equipotential surface The density of is used to determine the field strength. The field strength is strong in the dense area of isochromatic equipotential surface and small in the sparse area.
(2) Judgment skill of electric field intensity direction
① The direction of the electric field force on a positive charge at a point, that is, the direction of the electric field intensity at that point
② The direction of electric field intensity is on the same line as the tangent line of electric field line and points to the direction of potential reduction.
③ The direction of electric field intensity is perpendicular to the equipotential surface and points to the direction of potential reduction.
Knowing the electric field line of an electric field, you can determine the direction and size of the field strength, draw an equipotential surface, and determine the level of the potential (the potential decreases along the direction of the electric field line). [7]
It should be noted that the electric field line is not charged path of particle The force direction and acceleration Direction, it is impossible to determine the speed direction and motion track of the charge. When the electric field line is a straight line, the acceleration of charge movement is parallel to the electric field line, and the trajectory of charge movement coincides with the electric field line. [7]

    Direction: positive charge Along the tangent direction of the electric field line, negative charge The opposite direction along the tangent direction of the electric field line. [7]
  3. three
    Calculation: The calculation formula of electric field force is F=qE, where q is the charge amount of the point charge, E is the field strength or W=Fd, or it can be calculated according to the distance between the work done by the electric field force and the movement in the direction of the electric field force. electromagnetics Another important formula in the formula W=qU (where U is the potential difference between two points) is derived from this formula. [7]
