Uniform fields

The Earth's field isn't really uniform but it's close enough when we are near the surface.

 We often make simplifications like this, which is ok providing we don't forget the limitations. 


Summary

Field strength and field lines

Watch the field lines become uniform as we zoom in on the radial field. In a uniform field, gravitational field strength is constant.
