19-1 Electric Charge
The effects of electric charge were first
observed as static electricity:
If a conductor carries
excess charge, the
excess is distributed
over the surface of the
conductor.
19-2 Insulators and Conductors
A parallel-plate
capacitor consists of
two conducting plates
with equal and opposite
charges. Here is the
electric field:
