    Study Notes

    Electric Field and Charge

    • Electric field lines are a way to visualize the electric field around a charge or a distribution of charges.

    Units of Electric Charge

    • The SI unit of electric charge is the Coulomb (C).

    Electric Field Between Parallel Plates

    • When the distance between two parallel plates is increased, the electric field between them decreases.

    Electric Field Inside a Conductor

    • In electrostatic equilibrium, the electric field inside a conductor is zero.

    Electric Field Intensity and Distance

    • The electric field intensity (E) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) from a point charge, i.e., E ∝ 1/r².

    Gauss's Law

    • Gauss's law states that the net electric flux (Φ) through any closed surface is proportional to the total charge (Q) enclosed within the surface, i.e., Φ ∝ Q.
