Coulomb’s law and electric field

Electric Field due to a Uniformly Charged Sphere

The presence of charged particles anywhere in space creates an electric field. Wherever you find a charge, the electric field must be there. Thus, An electrical property associated with each point in space when charge is present in any form.. In the presence of another charge, they will exert force on each other, and this […]

Electric field due to a dipole

An electric field is an electric property associated with every location in space where a charge exists in any form. In simple terms, it is the region that encompasses an electrically charged particle and produces a force. Its sign is ”E,” and its measuring unit is ”V/m” (volt per metre). What is an Electric Field?

Electric Field and Magnetic Field

When a charge is present in any form, a field is created around each point in space, and this field is known as an electric field. The value of E, also known as electric field strength or electric field intensity, or simply the electric field, is used to represent the magnitude and direction of the electric

electric field

The electric field is the most fundamental concept in electricity. In general, the electric field of a surface is calculated using Coulomb’s law, but understanding the concept of Gauss law is required to calculate the electric field due to the infinite sheet. It describes the electric charge enclosed in a closed surface or the electric

Electric Displacement

Auxiliary electric field, electric displacement, or electric vector are all terms used to describe the aspect of an electric field that is associated solely with the presence of separated free electrical charge, with the contribution of any electric charges that are bound together in neutral atoms or molecules being purposefully excluded. Electric charge is transferred

Electric Charges: Conservation of Charge

A charge is a property associated with and related to matter. It experiences different electrical and magnetic effects. The SI unit of an electric charge is called Coulomb. Electric charges in the conservation of charge were first defined by Coulomb.  Conservation of energy is a concept that defines charge as constant, with no exchange; hence,

Electric charges

The electric charge is defined as the property of the matter that is due to its subatomic particles. It causes the material to experience a force when placed in an electric field. The electric charge is a scalar quantity. It has both magnitude and direction but is an exception to the general vector quantities. If

Electric Charge and Properties

In the physics subject, a charged particle is a kind of particle that has an electric charge in it. It can be any ion like a type of molecule and an atom. There can also be any other type of elementary particle like protons or electrons which usually have the same kind of charge. It

Dipole Moment

Introduction For the measurement of the extent of polarity, Pauling introduced the concept of Dipole moment. It is denoted by ‘µ’. The multiplication of positive or negative charge (q) and the distance (d) between two poles are called dipole moment. Here –µ = q × d (magnitude of charge × distance) Dipole moment is a

Dipole in a Uniform External Field

Introduction As we are familiar with the concept of an electric dipole, let us now look at the concept of torque on a dipole which is a simple topic and a scoring one. A dipole is a magnetised pole with an equal amount of positive and negative charges separated by distance (d). When a dipole is
