After completing this section you will be able to identify and write equations for the electrostatic force and electric field strength for a point charge or system of charges
Electric Fields & Electrostatics – No Calculus Needed
Master the fundamentals of electric fields and electrostatics with this clear, concept-based course designed for high school and early college students. No calculus required—just a solid understanding of algebra and a curiosity for physics!
You’ll explore electric forces using Coulomb’s Law, learn how to calculate electric fields and potentials due to point charges and systems of charges, and discover the connection between electric field strength and potential. You'll also dive into Gauss’s Law, simplified for symmetry-based applications, and understand capacitors, their function, and practical uses.
We break down complex ideas using diagrams, worked examples, and real-world connections—so you not only solve problems, but truly understand what’s happening behind the equations.
This course is perfect for:
A/L or high school physics students
First-year college students in algebra-based physics
Anyone looking to build strong conceptual understanding in electrostatics
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to visualize electric fields, apply core principles to solve problems, and relate electrostatics and Gauss theorem ideas to real-world technology and understand the beautiful connections of electromagnetic theory.
No advanced math. Just clean explanations, structured progression, and step-by-step reasoning to build your confidence in physics ,all the very best!
