(And thus the slightly different form of Maxwell’s Equations.) Also, on one of the practice tests I looked at, they asked about which if Maxwell’s equa- tions would need to be modified to account for magnetic monopoles. Work: W q0 has units of volts. Volt = Joules/Coulomb. 1.1 Electricity k = 1 4πε0 [Nm2C−2], ε0 is permittivity of free space F = k q1q2 d2 Force between two charges F = q1E Force on charge in field E = 4πkQ A Uniform electric field between two charged parallel plates, each of area A −→ E = k q−→r r2 −→r in direction + → -.
