Key Topics to Revise

1

Properties of Electric Charge

  • Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter discovered through friction experiments
  • Only two types of charges exist: positive (glass rubbed with silk) and negative (rubber rubbed with fur)
  • Like charges repel, unlike charges attract - fundamental law of electrostatics
2

Coulomb's Law

  • Coulomb's law gives force between two point charges separated by distance r
  • Force is directly proportional to product of charges and inversely proportional to square of distance
  • Force acts along the line joining the two charges - central force
3

Electric Field

  • Electric field is force per unit positive test charge at any point
  • Field exists around charges even without test charge present
  • Direction of field is direction of force on positive test charge
4

Electric Dipole

  • Electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by small distance
  • Dipole moment is vector from negative to positive charge with magnitude p = q×2l
  • Field due to dipole varies as 1/r³ (not 1/r² like point charge)
