Electrostatics

Coulomb’s Law describes the force that exists between two stationary, electrically charged particles, also known as electrostatic force.  Coulomb’s Law acts along the line connecting the two charged bodie’s centres. The law is also known as Coulomb’s inverse-square law because it describes an inverse square relationship between force and distance between two charged entities. Coulomb’s […]

Matrix is a fundamental mathematical term primarily used to analyse linear equations. For example, the equation A = aij indicates the ith row and jth column element of the matrix. Understanding the adjoint matrix and the inverse is simple once you understand a matrix. Matrices have rows and columns. When describing matrices in general terms,

Insulators are materials that prevent electrons from freely transferring from one particle of an element to another particle of the same element. If we apply a small amount of charge to such an element at any point on its surface, the charge remains at the site where it was applied and does not spread throughout

Electrostatics is one of the essential branches in Physics, dealing with a charged particle in the static position. The electrostatic force was first accidentally discovered and investigated by the Dutch physicist Pieter Van Musschenbroek in 1976, from the University of Leiden. Following this, Charles Augustin de Coulomb, a French physicist, put forth the famous Coulomb

One of the most significant fields of physics is electrostatics, which deals with a charged particle in rest mode (i.e., in a static position). In 1976, Dutch physicist Pieter van Musschenbroek of the University of Leiden made an unintentional discovery and explored the influence of electrostatics. Static electricity (also known as electrostatic electricity) is a

The word hydrostatic is made up of two words: ‘hydro’ which means water and ‘static’ which means fixed or unchanged. The literal meaning of paradox is once again ‘contradiction.’ To summarise, the hydrostatic paradox occurs when different-shaped containers with the same base are filled with liquid of the same height and the force applied by

According to Gauss’s Law, the flux of an electric field through a closed surface equals the charge enclosed divided by a constant. It can be demonstrated that the flux will always be equal to the charge enclosed, regardless of the shape of the closed surface. This law is utilised to find electric fields when charge

The Gauss law is an extremely important condition that is used to determine the electric field even though it is not directly related to the electric field. Gauss Law is stated as the total electric flux in a given area is the enclosed charge divided by the permittivity. However, the electric flux depends on the

The electric field is the field that surrounds electrically charged particles. And electric flux is the rate that determines the flow of that electric charge through an area. And this rate is directly proportional to the number of lines passing through the surface. These lines are said to emerge from a positive charge and terminate

French physicist Charles Augustin de Coulomb has made many significant contributions to our understanding of electrical forces in physics. One of the things he is most popular for is Coulomb’s law. The SI unit for electrical charge is also called Coulomb (written as C) in his honour. There is an entire history of Coulomb’s law
