Electrostatics

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…

The electric potential energy of an electric dipole in an electrostatic field is the work done in rotating the dipole to the desired position in…

Like Charges, Repel and Unlike Charges Attract Each Other: Experimental Verification A charged glass rod is suspended by a silk thread, such that it swings…

The substances which acquire charges on rubbing are said to be ‘electrified’ or charged. These terms are derived from the Greek word electron, meaning amber.…
