MYP Physics Electric Fields Key Definitions

Definition

Electric field

An electric field is a region around a charged object where another charge experiences a force.

Definition

Lightning

Lightning is a large-scale electrostatic discharge caused by strong electric fields.

Definition

Test Charge

A small (imaginary) positive charge used to define the direction and strength of an electric field without significantly disturbing it.
