Electrostatics : Definition: It is branch of science which deals with the study of charges at rest. It is also known as static electricity or frictional electricity. Electric Charge: Electric charge is an Intrinsic property of the elementary particles like electrons, protons etc.of which all the objects are made up of. Quantization of charge: The quantization of charge means that charge can exist only as integral multiple of electronic charge i.e. q=+-ne,where n is an integer. • It was first suggested by by faraday. Charge conservation: In an isolated system,the total net charge of the system always remains constant. Charge is always associated with mass : Charge can not exist without mass though mass can be exist without charge. Additivity of charge: Total charge of a system is the algebraic sum of all individual charges in the system. Charge is invariant: Charge is independent of the frame of reference. Coulomb's Law: Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of ...
