How much charge on one electron or proton

1.6 x 10^-19 coloumbs


in one c = 1/1.6 x 10^-19 electrons are present

Q. why arent the protons repelling each other??

Electrstatic force of repulsion


Nuclear force of attraction

Two like charges always repell each other

one BIG positive charge and a unit positive charge(UPC)


When brought together Force of repulsion causes the unit positive charge to move
away

the UPC is forced against the force of repulsion


work is done against the force of repulsion

Potential at a Point:-
The amount of work done is moving a positive charge from infinity to the point
against the force of repulsion is called as potential at that point

Potential Difference:-
The amount of work done in moving a unit positive cahrge fromone point to another
against the force of repulsion is called potential difference

Potential Difference
is denoted by (V)
voltage
Unit of Potential difference = volts
1 volt
V = 12 V
Voltage = 12 Volts
