Electrostatic shielding is the process of isolating a certain region of space from the external field. It is based on the fact that the electric…

Electric field due to an infinite charged plane sheet (Application of Gauss’s Law): Consider an infinite plane sheet of charge with surface charge density σ.…

The definitive purpose of Gauss’s law in electrostatics is to find the electric field for a given charge distribution, enclosed by a closed surface. It…

Gauss’s Law: The law relates the flux through any closed surface and the net charge enclosed within the surface. The law states that the total…

Consider a closed surface S in a non−uniform electric field (Figure). Consider a very small area “ds” on this surface. The direction of ds is…

Electric Charge is nothing but the amount of energy or electrons that pass from one body to another by different modes like conduction, induction or…

If all the points of a surface are at the same electric potential, then the surface is called an equipotential surface. (i) In case of…

Electric Dipole in Uniform Electric Field: Consider a dipole AB of dipole moment p placed at an angle θ in a uniform electric field E (Figure).…

Two equal and opposite charges separated by a very small distance constitute an electric dipole. Water, ammonia, carbon−dioxide and chloroform molecules are some examples of…

The electric potential energy of two point charges is equal to the work done to assemble the charges or work done in bringing each charge…
