The electric field depicts the surrounding force of an electrically charged particle exerted on other electrically charged objects. The concept of an electric field was introduced by Michael Faraday. The electric field is a vector field with SI units of newtons per coulomb (N C−1) or‚ equivalently‚ volts per metre (V m−1). The SI base units of the electric field are kg⋅m⋅s−3⋅A−1. The strength or magnitude of the field at a given point is defined as the force that would be exerted on a positive test

External Forces Organizational change can be caused by external forces and internal forces. External forces commence outside of the organization and not only do they affect a company‚ but they also cause global affects. There are four components that play a crucial role in change of a organization from an external forces view. These four key factors allow a company to under go change and reconstruct its organization to improve its production and services. Demographics in the work place a re

(Vector addition) INTRODUCTION With this experiment we will show that a body in a state of equilibrium‚ with three forces acting in a singular plane. The following conditions must be met: * Moment of all three forces must pass through the same point. * Magnitudes of the forces can be represented by the sides of a triangle‚ each as a vector with the side of the triangle
