STATIC ELECTRICITY


  1. where F is the force between two charges Q1 and Q2 a distance d apart in a medium of permittivity .

  1. The permittivity of a medium is given by its relative permittivity times the permittivity of a vacuum.

  2. If a charge Q experience a force F when placed in an electric field, then the field strength is given by E.

  3. where W is the energy gained when a charge Q is accelerated by a potential difference V.

  4. where C is the capacitance of a conductor which has a charge Q and a potential V.

  5. where C is the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor. The common area of the plates is A. The distance between the plates is d. The permittivity of the medium between the plates is .

  6. where W is the energy stored in a capacitor of capacitance C with a potential V.
