  • A plasma globe emitting electric discharge lines, demonstrating electric fields and high-voltage effects.

    A plasma globe, such as the one pictured above, is filled with a mixture of noble gases and has a high- electrode at the center. The swirling lines are electric discharge lines that connect from the inner electrode to the outer glass insulator . When a hand is placed on the surface of the globe, all the electric discharge travels directly to that hand.

    The Electric Field
    ::电机场

    Coulomb’s Law gives us the formula to calculate the force exerted on a charge by another charge. On some occasions, however, a test charge suffers an electrical force with no apparent cause. That is, as observers, we cannot see or detect the original charge creating the electrical force. Michael Faraday dealt with this problem by developing the concept of an electric field . According to Faraday, a charge creates an electric field about it in all directions. If a second charge is placed at some point in the field, the second charge interacts with the field and experiences an electrical force. Thus, the interaction we observe is between the test charge and the field and a second particle at some is no longer necessary.
    ::库伦布的《库伦布法》为我们提供了计算另一种电荷强度的公式。 但是,在某些情况下,测试电荷会受到没有明显原因的电力的影响。 也就是说,作为观察者,我们无法看到或探测产生电力的原始电荷。 迈克尔·法拉第(Michael Faraday)通过发展电场的概念来解决这个问题。 根据法兰第(Faraday),电荷能产生一个全方位的电场。 如果在现场某点安装第二个电场,那么第二个电荷就会与场发生相互作用,并体验到电力。 因此,我们观察到的电荷和场之间的相互作用以及某些粒子之间的相互作用就不再必要了。

    The strength of the electric field is determined point by point and can only be identified by the presence of test charge. When a positive test charge, q t ,  is placed in an electric field, the field exerts a force on the charge. The field strength can be measured by dividing the force by the charge of the test charge. Electric field strength is given the symbol  E and its unit is Newtons/coulomb.
    ::电场的强度由点点确定,只能通过测试电荷的存在来识别。当将正试验电荷(qt)放在电场时,电场对电磁力施加一定的强度。可以用测试电荷的强度除以力来测量电场的强度。电场的强度被赋予了E号符号,其单位是牛顿/库伦。

    E = F o n q t q t

    The test charge can be moved from location to location within the electric field until the entire electric field has been mapped in terms of electric field intensity .
    ::试验电荷可从电场内地点移到电场内地点,直到整个电场按电场强度绘制。
