### Actual electric fields
Similar to a gravitational field, the force an object experiences is dependent on both charges but the **field** around an object is only reliant on one. The **field strength** $ε$ is the force per unit of charge and is equal to:
$$\vec{ε}=\frac{F_e}{q}$$
The direction of the field depends on its charge — by convention, all test charges are assumed to be **positive**, so vector arrows will point **away** from a positive source and **toward** a negative source.
## 6.1 - Circular motion ## 6.1 - Circular motion
Circular motion is any motion along a circular path. The instantaneous velocity of an object in circular motion at any point is always tangent to its point on the circle, so the difference between any two velocities ($\Delta \vec{v}$) is radial (lies along the radius).
