Episode 409: Uniform Electric Fields
This learning episode, produced by the Institute of Physics, discuss the physics of the uniform electric field, such as that between two parallel charged plates. The definitions of field strength and potential lead to different results than those for the non-uniform field.
The activities in this learning episode look at:
• uniform electric fields
• potential and field strength in a uniform field
• accelerating charges through a potential difference
• Millikan’s oil drop experiment
• a comparison of gravitational and electric fields
