Science > Physics > Electrostatics > Introduction to Static Electricity Electricity is a very important form of energy which can be easily converted into other forms of energy. Electricity can be produced at one place and can be transmitted to long distances. Electricity is a branch of Physics which deals with charges, stationary and moving. […]
Science > Physics > Electrostatics > Quantization of Electric Charge In this article, we shall study the concept of quantization of electric charge and the principle of conservation of electric charges. The fact that all observable charges are always some integral multiple of elementary charge e = 1.6 × 10-19 C is known as quantization […]
Science > Physics > Electrostatics > Charging a Body and Detection of Charge In this article, we shall study methods of charging of body and different apparatus used for detection of charge on the body. Charging of Body: Charging by Friction: When a body is rubbed to another, there is a transfer of electrons from […]
