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

officers have is their power to decide when to use force or when to use lethal force. Manning (1997) argues that it is generally accepted that police should be allowed to use force. He also explains that there are an uncertain amount people who agree on as to what constitutes excessive force. The line between what is necessary and what is extreme is very thin and hard to see. Use of force is no doubt one of the most important aspects in policing and force should also be used with great discretion. The

The Use of Force "The Use of Force" is a short story by the American author William Carlos Williams first published 1938. The story is narrated in first person by a doctor‚ who is answering a house visit to see a sick girl. Fearing that she may have diphtheria‚ the doctor decides to check her throat. However‚ she refuses to open her mouth and the doctor uses force to restrain her and examine her throat with a spoon‚ which makes the girl very mad. The doctor finds that‚ against her own self-interest

CEMB 121 MECHANICS OF MATERIALS LABORATORY EXPERIMENT (NO.2 (a)) SHEAR FORCE I SUMMARY Shear Forces occurs when two parallel forces act out of alignment with each other. For example‚ in a large boiler made from the sections of sheet metal plate riveted together‚ there is an equal and opposite force exerted on the rivets‚ owing to the expansion and contraction of the plates. The shearing force (SF) at any section of a beam represents the tendency for the portion of the beam on one side of
