Gravitational Fields
Generated by objects that have a mass Mass, m Attractive Weakest of the three fields A gravitational field is a region where a mass will experience a force Field at a point is detected by observing the force on a mass placed at the point

Electric Fields
Generated by a stationary electric charge Charge, q Attractive or repulsive Very strong fields An electric field is a region where a charged particle will experience a force Field detected by observing the forces on a charge placed at a point

Magnetic Fields
Produced by moving charges or by currents in wires or magnets (electrons orbiting atoms) Current element, IL Attractive or repulsive Strong fields A magnetic field is a region where a moving charge or a magnet will experience a force Field detected by observing the force on a current carrying conductor in the field

Newtons Law of Gravitation F, between masses, M1, M2 is: to product of M1 and M2 to the square of the distances between the centres of the masses - Inverse square law - Between any 2 masses
G

Coulombs Law F, between charges, Q1, Q2 is: to product of Q1 and Q2 to the square of the distances between the centres of the charges - Inverse square law - Between any 2 charges F, acting on a length of current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field: to the magnetic flux identity to current to the length of wire in the field to B, Q and V
L sin

G is called the gravitational

constant:

is the permittivity of free space

C N K= 9 Nm C m

For a particle with a positive charge, Q moving at right angles to a magnetic field of magnetic flux density, B Magnetic field strength is the magnetic force per unit test current element Unit of B is T (tesla)
L

Gravitational field strength is the gravitational force per unit mass

g m

Electric field strength is the electrical force per unit positive charge
or

Unit of g is

Unit of E is NC

or m
