vector force fields

>Similarly, by referring to the figure belo..

Is the push/pull which changes or tends to change the state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line. It is a vector quantity, i.e., it has both magnitude and directio..

Lorentz Force - The force experienced by a charged particle moving in space where both electric and magnetic field exist is called lorentz force. The lorentz force is therefore the vector sum of force due to electric field..

The gravitational field intensity at a point is defined as the force experienced by a unit mass placed at that poin..

Summary - Electric charge is a basic property of all matter. Unlike charges attract, like charges repel. Conductor allow flow of electric charges through them while insulators don't. Electric charges have three basic properties (a) Additivity (b) Quantisation (c) Conservation Coulomb's law: the Ele..

The lines of force or field lines 1) start from positive charges and end at negative charges. In the case of a single charge, they may start or end at infinity. 2) two field lines can never intersect each other. 3) contract longitudinally. 4) exert lateral pressure on..

Magnetic Field - Magnetic field is a region near a magnetised body where magnetic forces can be detected. In a magnetic field, the magnetic dipole (Two equal and oppositely magnetised poles separated by a distance is referred to as magnetic dipole) experience..

If a small compass needle is placed at a point near the north pole of a bar magnet, the needle turns round on its pivot and settles in a fixed direction as shown in figure. At other points away from the pole the needle settles tangent to the field lines shown. The magnet exerts a magnetic..

> If the scales selected for the representation of three vectors are the same, then, three equal vectors are represented by three arrows of equal lengths, pointing in the same direction. If, however, the scales chosen are different, then, it is possible to represent equal v..

It was mentioned earlier that, displacement vectors are added to displacement vectors, or velocity vectors are added to velocity vectors. Just as it is meaningless to add scalar quantities of different kinds, such as mass and temperature, so also it is meani..
