    IB Physics Fields Tutor — Gravitational & Electric Fields

    IB Physics Fields (Topic 10 HL) is one of the most mathematically demanding sections of the IB Physics course. It unifies gravitational, electric, and magnetic fields under a common framework. Students must be comfortable with calculus and vector analysis. Our HL-specialist tutors guide you through every equation and concept.

    Board: IB (International Baccalaureate)

    Topics Covered

    • Gravitational fields and potential
    • Orbital mechanics and satellite motion
    • Electric field strength and potential
    • Equipotential surfaces
    • Capacitance and electric field energy
    • Magnetic flux and flux density
    • Electromagnetic induction and Faraday's law

    Exam Tips

    • Tip 1:Field strength is the negative gradient of potential — sketch graphs carefully
    • Tip 2:Orbital energy: total E = KE + PE is always negative for bound orbits
    • Tip 3:Gauss's law simplifies field calculations for symmetric charge distributions
    • Tip 4:Know the difference between field strength (vector) and potential (scalar)
