Electrons and Fields

 

 

      Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that are fundamental components of matter. They            are found orbiting the nucleus of an atom and have a charge of

                              −1.6×10−19-1.6 \times 10^{-19}−1.6×10−19  coulombs.

 

     Electric Fields:

​

     An electric field is a region around a charged particle, such as an electron, where another charged particle       experiences a force. The electric field is represented by field lines that originate from positive charges and         terminate at negative charges. The strength of an electric field (EEE) at a point is given by:

                             E=FqE = \frac{F}{q}E=qF

 

     Magnetic Fields:

 

     When electrons move, they create a magnetic field, which is a vector field surrounding the path of moving         charges. This concept is essential in electromagnetism and is the basis for devices like motors and                   generators.

 

      Applications:

   

    •Electric fields are used in capacitors and electrostatics.

    •Magnetic fields are key in transformers, electromagnetic induction, and magnetic storage devices.

 

      Electrons and fields together are fundamental to the study of electricity, magnetism, and modern                      electronics.
