Inverse-square relationships visually
Comparing uniform and radial fields
Potential graphs for point charges and masses
OCR A relevance
Module 5: Gravitational fields
Module 6: Electric fields
Inverse-square law
Try these tasks
Compare the shape of E against r and V against r graphs.
Change the charge or mass and observe the scaling.
Identify where the field is strongest and weakest from the graph.
