Electric field lines

When we talk about the basic concepts of electric field lines, they originate from bodies that contain electrical charges. They are fine lines or, to be precise, visualized lines that can trace the line of action and the force generated in any electrical field.  A field line is always drawn tangentially from any point in […]

Electric Field Intensity

In electrostatics, when there are two charges in space, an electric force acts between them which is directly proportional to the two charges’ magnitude and inversely proportional to the square of their distance. This is called Coulomb’s law of electrostatics. Force is a vector quantity and its formula is presented: F = (kq₁q₂/r²) r̂ Where

Electric Field Due to Infinite Wire – Gauss Law Application

Gauss’s Law is a fundamental law of electrostatics that helps to explain electric fields. It states that “the net electric field at any point is proportional to the total charge enclosed by a closed surface.”  We can explain Gauss’s Law in detail with the following example: Imagine an electric wire with an infinite length. The

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
