ELECTROSTATIC

FIRST LAW ELECTROSTATICS

LIKE CHARGES REPEL EACH OTHER AND UNLIKE CHARGES ATTRACT EACH OTHER.

SECOND LAW ELECTROSTATICS

THE FORCE OF ATTRACTION OR REPULSION BETWEEN CHARGES IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE

PRODUCT OF TWO CHARGES AND INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE SQUARE OF THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN THEM.

ELECTROSTATIC POTENTIAL

The electric potential resulting from the location of charged bodies in the vicinity.

V = electrostatic potential (volt at a distance of d (meter) from a charge body of charge Q

(coulomb

ELECTRIC FIELD INTESITY

The force per unit charge that will act a point in the field on a very small test charge place at the
location.

E = electric insensity (newton per coulomb) = distance in meters of the test charge (1 c) to the
charge (+q) body.

CAPACITANCE
- Capacitance is a measure of how well a capacitor can store electrical charges.
- Old name: condenser (any device on which electric charges can be stored so as to poses
electrical potential. It consists of two conducting plates separated by a layer of an insulating
medium called dielectric.
- Unit: Farad (F) unit of capacitance when one coulomb of charge given to its plates raises its
potential difference by one volt. Named after British physicist and chemist who discovered
electromagnetic induction, michael faraday (1791-1867).
