Topics in Electrical Charges and Fields
Basic Properties of Electric Charges
- There are two types of electric charges: positive and negative.
- Like charges repel each other; unlike charges attract each other.
- Charges are conserved in an isolated system — they can neither be created nor destroyed, only transferred.
Coulomb's Law and Force Between Charges
- Coulomb's Law gives the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point charges.
- The force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
- The force acts along the line joining the two charges.
Electric Field and Field Lines
- Electric field is the region around a charge where its influence can be felt by other charges.
- Electric field at a point is defined as the force per unit positive test charge placed at that point.
- It is a vector quantity with direction same as the force on a positive charge.
Electric Dipole and Its Field
- An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by a small distance.
- Dipole moment (p) is a vector quantity directed from negative to positive charge.
- Magnitude of dipole moment: p = q × 2l, where 2l is separation.
