A Level Physics FIELDS OF FORCE Relationship between intensity and potential gradient.

INTENSITY
From the derivation of potential at any point in a field, and reversing we see that the field strength must be equal to minus the deferential of the potential with respect to distance.
Electrical intensity (field strength)< /B> Gravitational intensity (field strength)
E = - dV /dr
g = - dU /dr
