Electric charges
This document discusses electric charges and static electricity. It explains that atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The proton has a positive charge, the electron has a negative charge, and the neutron is neutral. It also discusses how charges behave, with like charges repelling and unlike charges attracting. Static electricity is generated through friction, such as when a polythene rod is rubbed with wool, transferring electrons from the wool to the rod. Conductors, insulators, and semiconductors are compared in terms of how they allow electrons to pass through. Earthing and electrostatic induction are also summarized.
Electric charge and electric field
This document provides an overview of key concepts in electric charge and electric fields.
1) It describes how static electricity arises from the transfer of electrons between objects, leaving one object with an excess of electrons (negative charge) and the other with a deficit of electrons (positive charge). Opposite charges attract while like charges repel based on Coulomb's law.
2) Coulomb's law states that the electric force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
3) The electric field is defined as the force per unit charge and can be calculated from Coulomb's law. Field lines are used to represent electric fields graph
Coulombs Law
1. Coulomb's Law describes the electrostatic force between two point electric charges. The force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
2. Charles-Augustin de Coulomb invented the torsion balance to measure very weak forces, including electrostatic forces. He used it to determine Coulomb's constant and establish Coulomb's Law.
3. According to Coulomb's Law, every point electric charge generates an electric field, and the strength of the electric field depends on the magnitude of the charge and the distance from it.
Gauss' law
There are 4 pillars that make up the foundation of Electricity & Magnetism:
1) Gauss' Law (Electricity), which states that the electric field through a closed surface is proportional to the enclosed charge.
2) Gauss' Law (Magnetism), 3) Faraday's Law of Induction, and 4) Ampere's Law. Gauss' Law for electricity, proposed by Carl Friedrich Gauss, relates the total electric flux through a closed surface to the electric charge enclosed by the surface.
Electric Potential by Dr_Raj_Paul_Guleria
This presentation is about electric potential. As we know, electric fields are vector quantities, which define electric field properties. The electric properties of space can also be described by electric potential. Electric potential is scaler. The concept of electric potential is more important due to its advantages over electric field as it has no direction which make it simpler. Electric potential is more practical than the electric field because differences in potential. Electric potentials and electric fields are associated with each other, and either can be used to describe the electrostatic properties of space. The gravitational potential energy is meaningful only in terms of the difference in potential energy in respect of reference point. The most important fact is that the Electric potential have similar characteristics as that of gravitational potential energy.

It discusses key concepts such as electric field, electric potential, equipotential surfaces, and capacitors. Specifically, it defines electric potential as electric potential energy per unit charge. It also explains that equipotential surfaces represent positions of equal electric potential and that the electric field is perpendicular to equipotential surfaces. Finally, it introduces capacitors as devices that can store electric potential energy between two conductors, such as the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, and how dielectrics are used to increase a capacitor's capacitance.
Electric potential
Okay, let's break this down step-by-step:
1) The electric field E is uniform, so E has a constant magnitude and direction.
2) The path icf consists of two segments: ic and cf.
3) For ic, the displacement is at a 90° angle to E so no work is done along that segment.
4) For cf, the displacement forms a 45° angle with E.
So the key is to integrate E×ds along just the cf segment.

Examples are provided to illustrate these principles, including diagrams of coils moving in and out of magnetic fields.
Charge and Its Property
Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter that causes electromagnetic attraction and repulsion. The electric charge is quantized, meaning it occurs in discrete integer multiples of the elementary charge carried by a single electron or proton. Robert Millikan's oil drop experiment directly demonstrated the quantization of charge by measuring the electric charges on tiny oil droplets, finding they were always integer multiples of approximately 1.6×10^-19 coulombs. Coulomb's law describes the electric force between two charged particles, stating it is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
COULOMBS LAW
Coulomb's law describes the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges. It states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The law also specifies that the force is along the line joining the two charges. The superposition principle allows calculating the total electrostatic force on a charge from the vector sum of the individual forces exerted by each of the other charges.
Fundamental forces in nature

1. The document discusses electric fields, including field vectors, field strengths for point charges and uniform fields, and fields around various charge configurations.
2. It reviews gravitational fields and compares them to electric fields. Both fields are defined by the force per unit charge or mass exerted on a test particle.
3. Examples are given of calculating field strengths and drawing electric field lines for single and multiple point charges of the same and opposite signs.
Electrostatics in vacuum
This document discusses electrostatics in vacuum. It begins by defining electrostatics and Coulomb's law, which states that the electrostatic force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The document then discusses electric field, electric flux, Gauss' law, and applications of Gauss' law to calculate electric fields for an infinite sheet of charge, infinite line of charge, and uniformly charged sphere.
ELECTROSTATICS
This document provides an overview of electrostatics and related concepts:
1) It describes how charges can be imparted through induction, friction, and contact. Coulomb's law states the force between charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
2) The electric potential difference between two points is defined as the work required to move a charge between those points. Equipotential surfaces have the same electric potential at every point.
3) An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by a small distance. The dipole moment is a measure of the dipole's strength and depends on the charge magnitude and distance between charges

This document provides an overview of electrostatics and electric current concepts. It defines electrostatics as electricity from the Greek word for amber, where static electricity is generated by rubbing materials together. The key concepts covered include:
- Coulomb's law which describes the force between electric charges.
- The properties of electric fields and field intensity.
- How capacitors store electric charge and the differences between capacitors connected in parallel versus series.
- Definitions of electric current, resistance, voltage, and potential drop in circuits.
Electric Field.pptx
An electric field exists in the space around a charged object. It is defined as the electric force per unit charge. The electric field depends on the charge creating it and the distance from that charge. Electric field lines indicate the direction of the electric field, extending away from positive charges and toward negative charges. The total electric field is the vector sum of the fields from individual charges through superposition.
Electric field dd.pptsss
The document discusses electric field lines and their properties. It provides examples of electric field line patterns for single and multiple point charges. Key points covered include:
- Electric field lines extend radially outward from a positive point charge and inward toward a negative point charge.
- For two charges of the same sign, field lines point from one charge to the other with no lines between. For opposite charges, field lines begin on the positive and end on the negative charge.
- The number of field lines is proportional to charge magnitude. Stronger fields have more closely spaced lines.
- Field lines always meet conductors perpendicularly and the field is zero inside a charged conductor.

Rational numbers include fractions and repeating decimals. They can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided using simple rules. To add or subtract rational numbers, find a common denominator and then combine the numerators, and to multiply or divide rational numbers, perform the indicated operation on the numerators and denominators separately.
Symbols and expressions
Symbols and expressions are used in mathematics and logic to represent concepts, objects, quantities or relations. Symbols allow complex ideas and relationships to be more concisely expressed and manipulated according to specific rules. Mathematical expressions use symbols, numbers and logical connectives according to a defined syntax in order to represent mathematical ideas, relationships between quantities or logical propositions.
Properties and distribution
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
Adding integers
The document discusses adding integers using a number line. It provides examples of adding positive and negative integers by counting right on the number line for positive numbers and left for negative numbers. The number line is used to illustrate the process of adding integers and finding the sum.
Sequences and series
The document contains information about arithmetic and geometric sequences. It defines an arithmetic sequence as one where each term is found by adding the same number to the previous term, called the common difference. A geometric sequence is one where each term is found by multiplying the previous term by the same number, called the common ratio. Examples are worked through and questions are asked about finding the next term in various sequences.
Distributive
The document discusses the distributive property and how it is used to simplify algebraic expressions. It provides examples of distributing terms over addition and subtraction. It defines terms, coefficients, and like terms. It then gives examples of simplifying expressions by combining like terms.

1. The document discusses electric fields, including that the electric field is the amount of electric force per Coulomb of charge. Electric field lines show the magnitude and direction of the electric force on a charged particle. Field lines start on positive charges and end on negative charges, and the electric force is always tangent to field lines.
2. It provides examples of calculating electric force using the electric field intensity and charge amount. Electric field diagrams show the direction of the electric force on sample charged particles. The direction of the force can be determined from the field lines.
3. Key concepts are explained, including that if all electric field lines point into a hidden charged region, the region must contain a positive charge, and examples
Electric force and field problem set
The document outlines 7 problems related to electric force and fields. The problems involve: 1) explaining the attraction between a charged rod and neutral paper, 2) comparing Coulomb's and Newton's laws of gravitation, 3) explaining why test charges used to measure electric fields must be small, 4) drawing electric field lines between two negative charges, 5) explaining why electric field lines can't cross, 6) calculating the net force on positive charges at the corners of an equilateral triangle, and 7) calculating the electric field at a corner of a square with differing corner charges.
Electric field solving
1) The document calculates the electric field components Ex and Ey resulting from two point charges q1 = 10 nc and q2 = 15 nc located at distances of 3m and 5m respectively.
2) It finds that Ey = 14.6 N/C and Ex = -4.8 N/C, with the total electric field making an angle of -72.8 degrees.
3) It notes that when a point charge is placed in a uniform electric field, it will accelerate according to Newton's law, undergoing parabolic motion similar to projectile motion under gravity.
Completing the square (added and revised)
The document discusses solving quadratic equations by completing the square. It provides examples of perfect square trinomials and explains the steps to solve quadratic equations using completing the square. These steps include: 1) moving terms to one side of the equation, 2) finding the term to complete the square and adding it to both sides, 3) factoring the perfect square trinomial, 4) taking the square root of both sides, and 5) solving for the two possible solutions. It also provides a second example where the quadratic coefficient is not 1, requiring dividing all terms by this coefficient first before completing the square.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
