Electric field

An electric field is generated by electrically charged particles and time-varying magnetic fields. The electric field describes the electric force experienced by a motionless positively charged test particle at any point in space relative to the source of the field. The concept of an electric field was introduced by Michael Faraday.

4 QUOTES WITH «ELECTRIC FIELD»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word electric field.
1
Johannes Stark
By allowing the positive ions to pass through an electric field and thus giving them a certain velocity, it is possible to distinguish them from the neutral, stationary atoms.
2
Johannes Stark
A beam of luminous hydrogen canal rays has, owing to its velocity, exactly the same direction as that of the electric field in which it may be made to move.
3
Johannes Stark
An external electric field, meeting it and passing through it, affects the negative as much as the positive quanta of the atom, and pushes the former to one side, and the latter in the other direction.
4
Johannes Stark
Along a series of lines running from longer to shorter wavelengths the effect of the electric field becomes greater as the serial numbers increase - that is, as the wavelength decreases.
