This lecture covers the acceleration of charges in uniform electric fields, methods for calculating Coulomb's force, and the conservation of energy in more general cases. It also explains the concept of electron-Volt, the deflection of electrons in uniform fields, and the behavior of charges in conductors. The lecture further discusses the interaction of electric fields with matter, focusing on dielectric and conductive materials. Applications such as the cathode ray tube, Faraday cage, and dielectrophoresis are also explored, along with the principles of Lorentz force and the movement of charges in magnetic fields.
