4. ELECTRIC CHARGES & FIELDS

@IMP DEFINITIONS & FORMULAS?
1. Electric charge occurs in a body due to excess 6. Couple (Torque) acting on dipole placed in a
or deficient of charged particles ( – or +) on it. uniform electricGfield
--------------------------------------------------------- G isJG
2. Charge of a body is always quantised. t = pE sin q Þ W p u E
Thus q = r ne, e = 1.6 ´ 10–19 C --------------------------------------------------------
and n = 1,2,3.... is number of electrons 7. Coulomb's law: The force between two
--------------------------------------------------------- charges in air or vacuum is
3. Like charges repel and unlike charges attract

4. Electric field Intensity is the measure of
force exerted by one charged body on another.

where e0 is the permittivity of free space

5. Electric Dipole: A pair of equal and opposite
point charges (q and –q) separated by a
distance (2a) is called electric dipole.
