Explore electrostatic potential and capacitance, including combinations of capacitors, the relation between potential and electric field intensity, and the potential energy of charges, with formulas, problems, quizzes, and assignments.
Derive potential at a point b a distance r from a point charge Q by integrating the Coulomb force from infinity to r, yielding v = 1/(4 pi epsilon0) Q/r.
Solve numerical problems on electric potential by calculating the potential at point B due to a charge of 6×10^-7 C.
Calculate the electric potential at a rectangle corner from three charges (+4 μc and −6 μc among them) using superposition, then sum V1, V2, and V3 to obtain the value.
Electrostatics, also known as Static Electricity or Frictional Electricity, is the first topic within the broader electromagnetism category.
This course will make you an expert on Electric Field, Electrostatic Potential, Relation between Electric Field Intensity (E) and Electric Potential (V), Electrostatics of Conductors, Capacitance, Capacitors, Series and Parallel Combination of Capacitors, Calculating Equivalent Capacitance of a Combination of Capacitors, and various other concepts related to Electrostatics.
