The field around a charged object, how to draw it, why it gets weaker with distance, and how fields explain sparks and attraction.

You will be able to

  • Draw the field pattern around a charged sphere
  • Say how the field strength changes with distance
  • Explain non-contact forces between charges using fields
  • Explain sparking using the idea of a strong field
