What is continuous charge distribution?
admin As we all know that the charge is always quantized. Pertaining to the smallest amount of charge is that it can exist as +e or –e. It is the charge…

What is electrostatic field?
When a charge q is placed near to any other charge q1 then it feels some force of attraction or repulsion. Hence we can say that the force experienced by…
What is the relation between Electric field intensity and force?
The strength of electric field at a particular point is called as Electric Field intensity. In other words, the force felt by a unit positive charge situated at a point…
What will be the electric field intensity due to a point charge?
Let’s think that we want to calculate the electric field intensity at point p caused by charge q at some point O. So, OP=r. Lets suppose a test charge having…
What are Electric Lines of Force?
The invention of electric lines of force was done by famous scientist Michael Faraday. These do not provide the full info about electric field, but provide us with quantitative partial…
What will be the electric field intensity due to a group of charges?
At any point electric field intensity is the total sum of all the electric field intensities generated due to different charges at the same point. If other charges are absent…
What will be the electric field intensity due to the various charge distributions?
We have completed our discussion on electric charge distributions. So, according to which, Force applied on a total charge +q 0 at p(r) due to linear charge distribution having density
Explain various properties of electric lines of forces.
1. The direction of Electric field intensity at a point can be calculated by drawing the tangent to the line of force at that point. 2. Due to the attraction…
What is Electric Dipole?
It consists of a set of same and opposite charges separated by a small distance. Let us consider some of the examples of the electric dipoles are HCl, CO 2…
What is Dipole moment?
Dipole moment is denoted by. Where gives the value of the strength of the Electric dipole. Dipole moment is a vector quantity. I.e. or The direction of dipole moment is…
