Key Topics to Revise

1

Electric Charges and Their Properties

  • Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter carried by protons (+e) and electrons (-e)
  • Elementary charge e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C is the smallest unit of charge
  • Matter is normally electrically neutral due to equal numbers of protons and electrons
2

Coulomb's Law and Electric Force

  • Coulomb's law quantifies the force between two point charges at rest
  • Force is directly proportional to product of charges and inversely proportional to square of distance
  • Electric force is a central force acting along the line joining the charges
3

Electric Field and Field Intensity

  • Electric field exists around every charge and exerts force on other charges placed in it
  • Electric field intensity is force per unit positive test charge
  • Field is independent of test charge but depends on source charge and distance
4

Electric Field Lines and Properties

  • Electric field lines provide visual representation of electric field
  • Field lines start from positive charges and end on negative charges
  • Tangent to field line gives field direction at that point
