Summary
New Forces and ideas in the Newtonian World!
- Electric Charge:
- Property of particles... Determines new Coulomb Force: F = K q1q2 / R2
- Fields – new idea in Newtonian physics:
- Extend through space
- Electric Fields: created by electric charges
- Magnetic Fields: created by electric charges in motion
- Principles used in electric generators, ….
- Electric Fields and Magnetic Fields are not independent of each other. A changing magnetic field generates an electric field and a changing electric field generates a magnetic field. Maxwell realized the full significance of this interrelationship --- next time.
