Physics - Electric Charges and Fields
Newton's Law of Coulomb
States that the force between two charged particles is directly
proportional to the product of their charges and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them
Types of Charges
Positive and negative charges
Conservation of charges
Electric Dipole
Vector quantity representing electrical polarity and charge
distribution
Electric Field (Dipole)
Evaluation of electric field due to a point dipole, which
involves calculating net electric field at axial and equatorial
points
Equatorial Point
Region on the perpendicular bisector of the separation vector
of a dipole, where the electric field is greatest
Electric Field of an Infinitely Long Wire
The electric field due to a uniformly charged infinite wire has
an inverse square dependence on the radial distance
Gauss's Law in Cylinders
