Electrostatics

In this chapter, we learn about the electric charge and the mechanism of the electric field. It highlights Coulomb's law and the superposition principle. It also defines the electric dipole moment.

This chapter describes the Gaussian surface and its properties. We will learn the Gauss' theorem along with its applications. It explains the meaning of electric flux via examples. It also covers the concept of area vectors.

In this chapter, we learn about electric potential. We derive the formula for the electric potential energy of a system of charges. It explains the meaning of equipotential surfaces. We also come across the concept of the electric dipole.

This chapter describes the potential energy of a charged conductor. It gives the expression for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor. We also learn to calculate the energy stored in a charged capacitor.
