Electrostatic and Induced E-Field/AC and DC

It is generated by charges that are not moving.

• ELECTROSTATIC ELECTRIC FIELD

• INDUCED ELECTRIC FIELD

• BOTH

Its strength depends on the magnitude and separation of the charges creating the field.

• ELECTROSTATIC ELECTRIC FIELD

• INDUCED ELECTRIC FIELD

• BOTH

It is generated by moving charges, such as a current flowing through a wire.

• ELECTROSTATIC ELECTRIC FIELD

• INDUCED ELECTRIC FIELD

• BOTH

It is often found around particles or objects with a net electrical charge.

• ELECTROSTATIC ELECTRIC FIELD

• INDUCED ELECTRIC FIELD

• BOTH

It produces an electric force on charged particles within the field.

• ELECTROSTATIC ELECTRIC FIELD

• INDUCED ELECTRIC FIELD

• BOTH

Its strength depends on the amount of current flowing or the rate of change of the magnetic field.

• ELECTROSTATIC ELECTRIC FIELD

• INDUCED ELECTRIC FIELD

• BOTH

It consists of both an electric and a magnetic field component.

• ELECTROSTATIC ELECTRIC FIELD

• INDUCED ELECTRIC FIELD

• BOTH

The flow of current does not change periodically.

• ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC)

• DIRECT CURRENT (DC)

• BOTH

It is most commonly used and most-preferred electric power for household equipment, office, buildings, etc.

• ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC)

• DIRECT CURRENT (DC)

• BOTH

The electric charge flow changes its direction periodically.

• ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC)

• DIRECT CURRENT (DC)
