Coulomb’s law and electric field

Every atom has a charge; an atom is said to be charged if it has an uneven quantity of electrons and protons; an atom is said to be positively charged if it has fewer electrons than protons; and negatively charged if it has more electrons than protons. The bodies are charged in a variety of […]

A negatively-charged subatomic atom is known as an electron. Depending on the context, it may either be free or linked to the centre of an atom. With rising energy, the radius of the shells around the electrons of a particle increases. The more energy an electron has, the larger its circular shell must be. Positively-charged

After studying electric fields and electric lines of force, we need to look at electric flux. The meaning of the word ‘flux’ is flow. Therefore, in simple words, electric flux refers to the measure of the flow of an electric field through any particular or any given area. The flux requires an electric field to

When one mole or Avogadro’s number of electrons is charged, the Faraday constant represents the amount of electric charge that is carried by that mole. It is a fundamental constant in chemistry, physics and electronics and it is commonly represented by the italic uppercase letter F in these fields of study. Coulombs per mole (C/mol)

This rule was given by a famous scientist named Kazimierz Fajans. In Fajan’s rule, we find that the chemical bond is covalent or ionic based on the size of the cation or anion. Ionic bonds will have a low positive charge and large cations. Covalent is the opposite of Ionic. Covalent bonds have a high

It is generally agreed that the total distance between an atom’s nucleus and the outermost orbital of an electron is referred to as the atomic radius. In simpler terms, it can be defined as something akin to the radius of a circle, where the nucleus is located in the centre of the circle and the

Electrostatics is the study of charges. There are two different types of charges. One is a positive charge, and the second is a negative charge. In electrostatics, we get to know about electric charges, electric fields, electrostatic forces, etc.  Electrostatics is the part of physics which gives us detailed information about the static charge. The

Electrostatics is a branch of physics which is concerned with the study of electromagnetic phenomena in which electric charges are at rest, that is when there are no moving charges after static equilibrium is established. In physics, the electrostatic phenomenon refers to the properties of slow-moving or static electrical charges. The study of stationary electrical

Electrostatic forces between particles are attracting or repulsive forces induced by their electric charges. The Coulomb force, also known as the Coulomb interaction, was named after French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, who first characterised it in 1785.  Electrostatic phenomena can range from the simple attraction of plastic wrap to one’s palm after it has been

Electrons are subatomic particles with a negative charge of about 1.602 × 10-19. The charge is equal in magnitude to that of the positive charge on a proton but has an opposite sign.  An electron under an electrical field feels a repulsive or attractive force. When a positive electrical field is applied to the metal,
