Electric charges and fields Flashcards
electrostatics
deals with the study of forces. fields, and potentials arising from static charges
+ve charges eg
-ve charges eg
glass rod, cat’s fur
plastic rod, silk thread
wht is used to detect charges in a body
gold-leaf electroscope
EARTHING
the phenomona where we bring a charged body in contact to the earth or the ground and all the excess charge on the body leaks to the surface
charging by induction
the process of charging a neutral body by bringing a charged body close to it without making actual contact
basic properties of electric charges and explain
1 addition of charges
2 conservation of charges:
total charge in isolated system remains constant and conserved, charge can neither be created nor be destroyed
3 quantisation of charges:
the charge on the body isalways equal to the integral multiple of basic uintof charge
Q = +-ne (e= 10-19 x 1.6)
Eo/ efsalan aka define
permitivity of free space
primciple of super position
The principle of superposition states that if a system contains a number of interacting charges, then the net force on any one charge due to the other charges is the vector sum of all the forces exerted on it by all the other charges. The individual forces are unaffected due to the presence of other charges.
