ELECTROSTATICS

PROPERTIES OF ELECTRIC
CHARGES
 Charges are conserved
 Charges are additive in
nature
 Charges are quantised.
PROPERTIES OF ELECTRIC
CHARGES
PRODUCTION OF
ELECTRIC CHARGE
We can get electric charge by
three ways

(a) By friction or rubbing


(b) By conduction
(c) By induction
CHARGING BY FRICTION
CHARGING BY CONDUCTIN

ELECTRIC FIELD LINES
ELECTRIC FIELD LINES
DEFINITION OF ELECTRIC
FIELD LINES AND THEIR
PROPERTIES
This are the imaginary lines along which a
unit positive charge moves when it left
free inside an electrostatic field.
properties of electric field lines
(a) Electric field lines are continuous curves. They start
from a positive charge and end at a negatively charge
body.
(b) Tangent to the electric field line at any point gives the
direction of electric field intensity at that point.
DEFINITION OF ELECTRIC FIELD
LINES AND THEIR PROPERTIES
 No two electric field lines of force can
intersect each other.
 The electric field lines of force are
always normal to the surface of a
conductor.
 The field lines contract longitudinally on
account of arrtraction between unlike
charges.
 The electric field lines exert a lateral
pressure on account of repulsion
between like charges.
PRINCIPLE OF
SUPERPOSITION OF FORCES
 The net force experienced by any
charge in a group of charges is the
vector sum of the forces acting on it due
to rest of the charges of the group.
 Mathematically : Force on charge q1,
q2 , q3 ………qn due to charge q0 can
be given as
 F0 = F1 +F2 +F3 ………….Fn (in vector
form)

DISTRIBUTRION
ELECTRIC DIPOLE
MOMENT
 A pair of equal and opposite point charges
separated by a very small distance is known
as electric dipole.
 Ideal dipole is just a point dipole, it has
negligible size
 The strength of a dipole is called dipole
mement. It is a vector quantity. It is denoted
by letter P
 P = q x 2a
 Where q = electric charge and 2a is length of
the dipole.
 The unit of dipole moment is Coulomb X
metre.
