"Electrostatics is a branch of physics that studies slow-moving or stationary electric charges."
Study of stationary charges, Coulomb's law, electric fields, and potential energy.
Coulomb's Law: This law states that the force between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Electric Field: This is a field created by charged particles that exerts a force on other charged particles within its vicinity.
Electric Potential: This is a measure of the amount of work needed to bring a test charge from infinity to a particular point in an electric field.
Conductors and Insulators: Materials can be classified into two types based on their ability to conduct electric charges. Conductors easily allow electric charges to move through them, while insulators do not.
Gauss's Law: This law states that the electric flux through any closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed within the surface.
Capacitance: This is a measure of an object's ability to store electric charge, and is determined by the geometry of the object and the properties of the surrounding medium.
Energy in Electrostatic Fields: The energy stored in an electric field can be calculated by determining the work needed to bring a charged particle from infinity to a given point in the field.
Electrical Potential Energy: This is the energy associated with the position of charged particles in an electric field.
Electric Dipole: This is a system where two equal and opposite charged particles are separated by a distance.
Dielectrics: Dielectrics are insulating materials that are commonly used in capacitors to increase their capacitance.
Polarization: This is the process by which the molecules of a dielectric align themselves in an electric field.
Electric Field Intensity: This is a measure of the strength of an electric field at a particular point.
Electric Flux Density: This is a measure of the flow of electric field lines through a given area.
Conductivity: This is a measure of a material's ability to conduct electric current.
Semiconductor Devices: These are devices made of materials that can be made to conduct or insulate depending on the presence or absence of an electric field.
Magnetostatics: This is a branch of electromagnetism that deals with the behavior of magnets and magnetic fields.
Electromagnetic Waves: These are waves that are generated by oscillations of charged particles and can travel through a vacuum.
Electromagnetic Radiation: This is the energy that is radiated in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Maxwell's Equations: These are a set of four equations that describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields and how they interact with charged particles.
Lorentz Force: This is the force experienced by a charged particle in an electric and magnetic field.
Coulomb's Law: It describes the interaction between charged particles separated by a distance.
Electric Field: It is a physical field that represents the force exerted on a charged particle by other charged particles.
Gauss's Law: It is used to calculate the electric field created by a charged object.
Electric Potential: It is the amount of work required to move a unit of charge from one point to another point in an electric field.
Capacitance: It is a measure of a capacitor’s ability to store electric charge.
Electric Current: It is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.
Ohm's Law: It states the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in a circuit.
Resistance: It is the measure of how much a material opposes the flow of electric current.
Electric Power: It is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred by an electric circuit.
Electromagnetic Induction: It is the process of producing an electric current in a conductor by changing the magnetic field around it.
Maxwell's Equations: It is a set of four equations that describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields.
Electromagnetic Waves: It is the waves that propagate through space at the speed of light and are caused by a changing electric and magnetic field.
Lorentz Force: It is the force experienced by a charged particle in a magnetic or electric field.
"The Greek word for amber, ἤλεκτρον (ḗlektron), was thus the source of the word 'electricity'."
"Electrostatic phenomena arise from the forces that electric charges exert on each other."
"Such forces are described by Coulomb's law."
"There are many examples of electrostatic phenomena, from those as simple as the attraction of plastic wrap to one's hand after it is removed from a package, to the apparently spontaneous explosion of grain silos, the damage of electronic components during manufacturing, and photocopier & laser printer operation."
"Electrostatic forces play a large role at the nanoscale."
"The force between an electron and a proton, which together make up a hydrogen atom, is about 36 orders of magnitude stronger than the gravitational force acting between them."
"Coulomb forces between electrons and the positively charged nuclei play a very large role in how atoms and molecules behave."
"Electrostatics studies slow-moving or stationary electric charges."
