Electric field strength is force per unit charge on a positive test charge ;
Emf is the potential difference across a cell when there’s no current flowing ; energy per unit
charge driving current completely around a circuit.
Internal resistance – some of the power is used in driving the current through the cell itself
Coulomb’s law – the force between two charges is directly proportional to their magnitudes
and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Constant speed of electron in magnetic field – magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity
so it doesn’t do any work on a charged particle, therefor the speed is constant.
Circular motion in magnetic field – when the velocity perpendicular to the magnetic field it
causes a centripetal force on the charge.
