    Study Notes

    7 Electrostatics

    7.1 Coulomb's Law

    • Like charges repel each other, while unlike charges attract each other.
    • The electrostatic force between charges increases when the magnitude of the charges increases or the distance between the charges decreases.
    • Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point-like charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.
    • The magnitude of the electrostatic force is proportional to the product of the charges.
    • Coulomb's law is similar in form to Newton's universal law of gravitation, both are inverse-square laws.

    7.2 Electric Field

    Definition of Electric Field

    • An electric field is a region of space in which an electric charge will experience a force.
    • The direction of the electric field at a point is the direction of the force that a positive test charge would experience if placed at that point.

    Representing Electric Fields

    • Electric field lines show the direction and strength of the electric field.
    • The strength of the electric field is proportional to the number of field lines per unit area.
    • Field lines are closer together where the field is stronger.

    Electric Fields Around Different Charge Configurations

    • For a positive charge, the electric field lines point away from the charge.
    • For a negative charge, the electric field lines point towards the charge.
    • For two unlike charges, the electric field lines start from the positive charge and end at the negative charge.
    • For two like charges, the electric field lines repel from both charges.

    Electric Field Strength

    • The electric field strength is defined as the force per unit charge that a test charge would experience at a point.
    • The electric field strength is proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the charge.
    • The units of electric field strength are newtons per coulomb (N·C^{-1}).

    8 Electromagnetism

    8.1 Magnetic Field Associated with a Current

    • A current-carrying wire generates a magnetic field around the wire.
    • The magnetic field lines are oriented perpendicular to the direction of the current flow.
    • The direction of the magnetic field can be determined using the Right Hand Rule.
    • The strength of the magnetic field is proportional to the current.

    Visualizing Magnetic Fields

    • The magnetic field around a wire can be visualized as concentric circles with the wire at the center.
    • The magnetic field lines form a pattern that converges through the loop, creating a magnetic dipole with a distinct north and south pole.

    Real-World Applications

    • Electromagnets are devices that generate a magnetic field when an electric current flows through a coil of wire.
    • Electromagnets are used in various applications such as electric motors, generators, relays, and magnetic storage devices.
    • Overhead power lines carrying electric current generate magnetic fields, which can impact the environment.

    8.2 Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

    Current Induced by a Changing Magnetic Field

    • Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction states that a changing magnetic field induces an electric field.
