Electric Charge
Electric charge is measured in coulombs. The charge on an electron is _1.6x10-19C. A positive charge is caused by a loss of
electrons A negative charge is caused by an gain of
electrons. For a given process charge is conserved
because the loss of electrons equals the gain of electrons.

Electric Field Lines Electric field lines begin on a positive and
end on a negative. Electric Field lines never cross each other. The number of lines drawn leaving a

Electric Field Lines Electric field lines begin on a positive and
end on a negative. Electric Field lines never cross each other. The number of lines drawn leaving a
positive or ending on a negative is proportional to the the magnitude of the charge.

Electric Fields in Conductors The electric field is zero everywhere inside
the conducting material. Any excess charge on an isolated conductor
resides entirely on its surface. The electric field outside a charged
conductor is perpendicular to the conductor’s surface.
On a irregularly shaped conductor, the charge accumulates at locations where the radius of curvature of the surface is smallest – at sharp points.
