Study Notes

  • Electric flux through a spherical Gaussian surface of radius 15cm, with a point charge at the center, is Φ.

  • If the radius of the surface is tripled, the electric flux through the surface remains Φ.

  • The dielectric strength/value for air is 3 × 10^6 V/m.

  • Torque on an electric dipole is maximum when p and E are perpendicular to each other.

  • The correct relationship between electric field and electric potential is E = -dV/dr.

  • In vacuum, the Coulomb force between two point charges q₁ and q₂ is F = Kq₁q₂/r², where K in S.I. units is 9 × 10⁹ N×m²/C².

  • If the distance between two charges is tripled, the electric force between them becomes 1/9 of the original force F, or F/9.

  • The specific charge of an electron, or the ratio of charge to mass, is approximately 1.77 × 10¹¹ C/kg, based on q/m = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C / 9.1 × 10⁻³¹ kg.

  • The unit of electric field intensity is Volt / meter

  • The electric force due to electric dipole on a point charge depends on 1/r³.

  • Electric field inside a uniformly charged thin spherical shell is zero.

  • Electric field lines are always perpendicular to the conductor surface.

  • If q₁q₂ > 0, meaning both charges are of the same sign, then nature of force is attractional.

Other Important Points:

  • Electric field lines make curves.
  • Coulomb's force follows Newton's third law.
  • Gauss's law follows the inverse square law.
  • When the distance between two charges is tripled, the Coulomb force decreases by a factor of 9.
  • A substance with a deficiency of electrons has a positive charge.
  • When an electron enters an electric field in the direction of the electric field, its speed decreases.
  • The net charge of an electric dipole is zero.
  • The charge of an isolated system always remains constant.
  • Electric flux is a SI unit and expressed as NC⁻¹m².
  • When there is a dielectric constant in a dielectric material between two charges, the attractive force is reduced.
  • The total electric flux coming out of the cube is zero, the value is q/ε₀
  • Electric field intensity/strength is measured in Jule/Coulomb or Newton/meter
  • Tangent line touching any point on electric field lines indicates direction of electric field intensity.
