Coulomb’s law of electrostatics – equation, vector form

Electrostatics Article – 4: In the previous article, we became to know that an electric charge can produce an electric field around it inside which it interacts with other charges. This interaction is nothing but the exertion of forces on the charges. This force between the electric charges is known as the Electrostatic Force. Coulomb’s … Read more

Formula for Surface charge density of sphere, cylinder and capacitor

Electric charges can be distributed along the length, over the surface and in the volume of a conductor. The density of electric charge refers to the amount of charges per unit dimension. There are three types of charge densities for the three types of distributions of charge. The Linear charge density and Volume charge density … Read more

Electric charge – definition, formula, properties, unit

Electric charge is a basic property of substances. There are some branches of Physics like Electrostatics, Electromagnetic field and current electricity that deal with electric charge and its motion. Interestingly all substances are neutral in nature. Charges on a substance are created artificially or by natural phenomena. In the article, I’m going explain the Definition, … Read more

Rules for significant figures in Calculations

Suppose you have calculated a value and the calculator is showing it as 10.333333…. Now, what will you write to express the number? Up to what decimal number will you take the data? To know this, the concept of significant digits is essential. Significant figures or significant digits are very important in measurements to write … Read more

Verification of Ohm’s Law experiment with data and graph

In the previous article, we discussed Ohm’s Law of current electricity. In this article, we’re going to perform an experiment for the verification of Ohm’s law. This practical verification of Ohm’s law is very important for the students of grades 10 and 12. This is a lab-based experiment to verify Ohm’s law or Ohm’s law … Read more

Magnetic force on a current-carrying wire

A current-carrying wire placed in an external magnetic field experiences a magnetic force. This is similar to the force between two magnets. Because a current-carrying conductor behaves like a magnet. Also, It will show the same interactions as other magnets when it is placed in front of a magnet. Even if we place two current-carrying … Read more

Basic logic gates with truth tables and diagrams

Logic gates are the basic building blocks of digital electronics that follow different logical operations. These gates have significant roles in the construction of logical circuits for different computations. Digital electronic devices contain integrated circuits (ICs) which are made of logical gates. In this article, we’re going to explore basic logic gates with truth tables, … Read more

Properties of electric charge class 12 physics

We have discussed almost everything on electric charges in another article (link is given in the related posts section at below). In this article, we are going to discuss the basic properties of an electric charge. This will be helpful for the students of class 10 and class 12. Contents in this article: What is … Read more

Properties of Magnetic field lines with diagram

Earlier we have discussed the Electric field and Electric field lines. Similar to the electric field lines, there exist magnetic field lines in a Magnetic field. In this article, we are going to discuss the definition and the properties of Magnetic field lines and the diagram of magnetic field lines for a bar magnet, solenoid, … Read more

Intensity of Magnetic Field – formula, definition (1 Tesla)

If we bring a bar magnet near another bar magnet then a force acts between the magnets. Same poles of magnets repel and opposite poles attract each other. This interaction is very similar to electric charges, but not exactly. Now question is, what makes this to happen? The answer is the magnetic force in magnetic … Read more
