Electric Fields An electric field is a region where a charged particle (such as an electron or proton) experiences a force (an electrical force) without being touched. If the charged particle is free to move, it will accelerate in the direction of the unbalanced force.
To represent an electric field, we draw electric field lines.

The arrow heads show the direction in which a positively charged particle (such as a proton) would accelerate if it was placed in the electric field. A negatively charged particle (such as an electron) would accelerate in the opposite direction to the arrow heads.
Work Done Moving a Charge in an Electric Field Work is done when a charge is moved in an electric field. To move an electron (negative charge) towards the negatively charged plate, work must be done against the electric field in order to overcome the repulsion force between the electron and the negatively charged plate. The work done is gained by the electron as electrical potential energy.
If the electron is free to move back towards the positively charged plate, the electric field does work on the electron. The electron's electrical potential energy is changed to kinetic energy as the electric field moves the electron towards the positively charged plate.
Work Done Moving a Charge and Potential Difference The potential difference (V) between 2 points in an electric field is a measure of the work done (W) in moving 1 coulomb of charge between the 2 points.
-(& ' This formula defines the volt. If 1 joule of work is done by moving 1 coulomb of charge between 2 points in an electric field, the potential difference between the 2 points is 1 volt. !"# " # $ %& ' %#
Electrical Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy ! ! 4( ! When an electron is free to move in the electric field between two oppositely charged metal plates, the work done by the electric field on the electron is converted to kinetic energy of the electron.
