Fundamental Concepts:
1. Coulombs Law of Electrostatics the force between two charges
acts along the line between the charges, and is
proportional to the product of the charges and to the
inverse square of the distance between them
where:
F
k
Q
r
force, Newton
Coulomb's constant, 9 x 109 Nm2/C2
magnitude of each charge, coulombs
distance between the centers of the two charges
where:
- vacuum permittivity
ELECTRIC FIELDS
Electric Field
F1 = F21 + F31
where:
F
electric force experienced by the test particle
q0 charge of the test particle in the electric field
E
electric field wherein the particle is located
Gausss Law
ELECTRIC POTENTIAL
Electric Potential
CAPACITOR
Capacitor used to store electric charge
consist of a pair of conductors with a potential difference
maintained between them
Q=CV
where:
Relative
permittivities
of
some materials, measured in
steady fields. The value for
silicon is included although it
is too good a conductor to be
used as the dielectric material
in a capacitor. However, the
relative
permittivity
of
semiconductors in steady fields
has an important influence on
their behaviour.
