CBSE CLASS 12 PHYSICS UNIT 1 ELECTROSTATICS CHAPTER 2 ELECTROSTATICS POTENTIAL AND CAPACITANCE NOTES

In Class 12 Physics, Chapter 2, "Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance," students delve into the concepts of electric potential and capacitance. The chapter explains electric potential as the work done to move a unit positive charge from infinity to a point in an electric field. It covers potential due to point charges and continuous charge distributions, introducing the concept of equipotential surfaces. The chapter also discusses capacitors, devices used to store electrical energy, and their properties. Key topics include capacitance, the formula for the capacitance of parallel plates, and the effect of dielectric materials on capacitance. Understanding these concepts is crucial for analyzing electric circuits and fields.
