What is Electrostatics?
admin The study of electric charges at rest is called electrostatics. Its other name is ‘static electricity’. A Greek philosopher ‘Thales’ in 600 BC conducted an experiment. He observed that when…

What is electric charge?
Electric charge is the feature of the sub atomic particles which determines the electromagnetic interaction between them. As we all know the positive and negative charges on an object are…
What is the origin of Electric charge?
Nucleus is present in the center of Atom. It contains protons and neutrons. Protons carry positive charge and neutrons carry negative charge. The protons and neutrons in an atom are…
What is quantization of electric charge?
It is the property by which any charge lives only in separate collection or bundle of specific minimum charge. Positive and negative charge in the equation is denoted by q.…
Electric charge is addictive or not?
The whole amount of charge on a body is the algebraic sum of total no of charges scattered anywhere on the body. Be careful while taking the algebraic sum, the…
Can Electric Charges be conserved?
The term conservation of electric charges means that charges can neither be created nor destroyed in separation. In simple words, charges can be created or destroyed only in same and…
What are the units of charge?
The concept of unit charge can be cleared easily from equation 1.3. Lets suppose r=1m, q1=q2=q and the force F=9 X 10 9. By substititing the values in equation 3…
What is dielectric constant or electrical permittivity?
When the charges are located in some other medium rather than vaccum then the force between the charges will be : ————— 1.4 Where is the absolute electric permittivity of…
What is the relation of forces between charges according to the position vectors
Suppose two point charges q2 and q1 are located in space at different positions A and B . O is the origin of rectangular co-ordinate system XYZ. This is shown…
What is Superposition Principle ?
By using this principle we can calculate total amount of force on a given charge due to a number of point charges. According to this principle the total amount of…
