Electricity and Magnetism

The chapter deals with the study of electric charge, types of charges, properties of charges and forces between charges. We will also study the concept of electric field, field lines, flux, dipole and continuous charge distribution.

The chapter explains the concept of electrostatic potential energy and equipotential surfaces. We will learn about the capacitors and capacitance, parallel plate capacitors, and the effect of dielectric on capacitance, among other concepts.

The chapter discusses the electric current and the mechanism in which electric current flows through a conductor. It also describes the origin of resistivity and resistivity of different materials.

The chapter explains the magnetic field, the motion of charge moving in a magnetic field and in combined magnetic and electric fields. It also explains the Ampere circuital law and equipment used for the generation of magnetic fields.

The chapter deals with the formation of magnetic fields, magnetism and Gauss law. It also explains the earth’s magnetism, magnetisation, magnetic intensity, magnetic properties of different materials, etc.

The chapter introduces us to the experiments of Faraday and Henry, magnetic flux and Faraday’s Law of induction. We will also study Lenz's Law and conservation of energy and motional electromotive force.

The chapter deals with an electric circuit, where an AC voltage is applied across a resistor, inductor, capacitor and in series with an LCR circuit. We will also learn about the representation and power of AC current, LC oscillation and transformers.
