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.

This video demonstrates the value of philosophy. Logical-philosophical thinking can help solve some of the biggest problems in science. The idea of an electric field is a great example of philosophical abductive reasoning or "inference to the best explanation". (1) We observed the phenomena of charges repelling each other. (2) We asked "How do charges exert a force on each other without coming in contact?" (3) We developed a hypothesis, "electric fields", which best explained the phenomena we observed. This hypothesis explains the phenomena well and works out with the math better than other possible hypotheses. As such, the electric field hypothesis will tentatively be thought of as "real" until something else explains the data within greater explanatory scope, explanatory power, and is less ad-hoc, etc.

You could look at it as they do exert forces on each other...via electric fields. Same with physically pushing stuff. When you "touch" something, the atoms aren't actually touching each other; rather, the electric forces repel your hand. Most of any solid, liquid, or gas is composed of empty space.

What is the electric field? What is its nature? The classical electric and magnetic fields were first depicted as lines of force by Michael Faraday and later changed to tubes of force by Maxwell in the region surrounding stationary and moving charges. The abstract Electric and magnetic fields are suitably depicted using vector arrows at points in space. In order to precisely explain the physics of electricity and magnetism, it is useful to attribute a few properties to fields, which are abstract in the sense that they are not visible nor tangible but they produce observable effects in their interactions with matter and its constituent atoms and the charges which constitute them; one example is that they penetrate through matter. There are several more effects and properties of charges and fields which can explain their behavior in circuits. Electrostatics and circuits belong to one science and not two, that of electricity and magnetism. To know how they are unified visit this link matterandinteractions.org/articles-talks/ and view the article 'A unified treatment of electrostatics and circuits. B. Sherwood and R. Chabay, unpublished. (1999)' pdf. For a live demonstration of surface charge and its effects in circuits visit kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i52Cf8pem5-VlYU.html For a detailed discussion of surface charge, coulomb's law, electric fields, fields of dipoles and other charge configurations, parallel plates, capacitance, currents, conservation of charge, conservation of current, superposition of fields, superposition of potential, simple dc circuit, magnetic fields, magnetic fields of a current element, straight wire, current loop, solenoids, biot-savart law, voltage, voltage source, difference between e.m.f. and potential difference, ideal voltage sources, resistors, how current branches in a parallel circuit, capacitors, inductors, faraday's law, inductance, ac circuits, transmission lines, motors, generators, p-n junction diodes, electromagnetic waves, antennas and radiation, see "Electric and Magnetic Interactions" by Chabay and Sherwood www.matterandinteractions.org or Fundamentals of electric theory and circuits by Sridhar Chitta www.wileyindia.com/fundamentals-of-electric-theory-and-circuits.html There is a "look inside" feature in the amazon.com webpage of the book "Fundamentals of electric theory and circuits" by Sridhar Chitta with a few pages of Chapter 1 which may be viewed and also which you may swipe left or press < icon to view the foreword, preface and Table of Contents. The contents of the above book by Sridhar Chitta, make a distinct unified approach to electrostatics and a few advanced circuits like coupling signals to amplifiers, lending precision and clarity to the topics which is not found in most text books. The book comes alongwith a CD with animated power point presentations for all chapters and voltage regulator, RC phase shift oscillators and differential amplifiers included additionally.

Question, @10:50 you reexplained what an electric field is saying its Force per Coulomb and that ratio stays the same no matter the charge there but isn't that misleading because the stronger the charge there the more force you feel? If I'm wrong can you please explain why?
@noahwiliams7214
@noahwiliams7214 2 жыл бұрын
The field generated by the first charge is measured in Force PER Coulomb (of the second charge). So yes, if your test charge is larger it will experience a larger force.
