CHAPTER 1: ELECTRIC CHARGE AND ELECTRIC FIELDS i) Electrostatic ii) conductors and insulators iii) Coulombs Law iv) Electric Fields v) Electric Fields Calculation vi) Electric Field Lines vii) Electric Dipole 1.1 Electrostatic Electrostatic is a study on the electric charges in the static or steady state condition. In this chapter, we will discuss the basic and the fundamental concept of electric charges, electric fields and their characteristics. Plastic rods and fur are good for demonstrating electrostatics. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) suggested charges negative and positive.
