|
Be able to explain when an object is said to a +charge and - charge using a model of the atom. |
|
Be able to calculate the net force and electric field due to a variety of charge configurations such as point charges (Examples 21-1, 21-2, 22-3), ring of charge (Example 23-3), line charge ( Section 23-5.23-9and sample problem 23-5).
