Explain Electric Potential of Earth

Explain Electric Potential of Earth

Earth is an electric conductor. When a charged body is connected to the earth, it becomes electrically neutral. When a positively charged body is grounded…
Similarity between Potential and Temperature and free Surface of Liquid

Similarity between Potential and Temperature and free Surface of Liquid

The role which is played by temperature and the height of free surface of liquid in heat and hydrostatics respectively, potential plays the same role…
Explain Measurement of Electric Potential

Explain Measurement of Electric Potential

The work done to bring a unit positive charge from infinity to a point in an electric field is called the potential of that point.…
Explain Electric Potential

Explain Electric Potential

As there is intensity of an electric field, it also has electric potential. Potential determines the direction of motion of a charge in an electric…
Explain Electric Lines of Force

Explain Electric Lines of Force

Michel Faraday introduced electric lines of force to get an idea about electric field. If a positive charge is placed in an electric field it…
Electric Field

Electric Field

Suppose A is a positively charged body. Now if a charge +q is placed at point P, then due to the charge of A, the…
Explain Coulomb’s Law

Explain Coulomb’s Law

Law: The forces of attraction or repulsion between two charged bodies in particular medium is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely…
Explain Electric Force

Explain Electric Force

Nature of force: A positively charged plastic rod is suspended by nylon string. Now a negatively charged polythene rod is brought near it. What do…
What is Electroscope

What is Electroscope

The instrument which detects the presence and nature of charge in any body is called electroscope. A metallic circular disk is fixed on the top…
Explain Electric Induction

Explain Electric Induction

We know that when two bodies are rubbed together electric charge is produced. Again when a charged body is brought in contact with another neutral…
