SUMMARY
1. Electric Charge : Just as masses of two particles are responsible for the gravitational force,
charges are responsible for the electric force. Electric charge is an intrinsic property of a particle.
Charges are of two types : (1) Positive charges (2) Nagative charges.
The force acting between two like charges is repulsive and two unlike charges it is attractive
between .
2. Quantization of Electric Charge : The magnitude of all charges found in nature are an integral
multiple of a fundamental charge. Q ne, where e is the fundamental unit of charge.
IN
3. Conservation of Electric Charge : Irrespective of any process taking place, the algebraic sum
of electric charges in an electrically isolated system always remains constant.
JA
4. Coulomb's Law : The electric force between two stationary point charges is directly propor-
tional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance
between them.

dielectric constant k.

(3) If the source charge and test charge are separated by a number of medium of thickness
d1 , d 2 , d 3 ........ having dielectric constants k1 , k 2 , k 3 ........ respectively, then the
electric force on charge q0 due to a charge q is given by

along the line joining q and q0.

For example, see the figure below :

Here, the space between the charges q and q0 is filled with medium (1, 2, 3). The thickness of
medium 1 is d1 and its dielectric consant is k1 Similarly the thickness of medium 2 and 3 is d2 and
JA
d3 of medium 3 and their dielectric constants are k2 and k3 respectively.

5. Assertion : If the distance between parallel plates of a capacitor is halved and dielectric
constant is made three times, then the capacitance becomes 6 times.
K
Reason : Capacity of the capacitor does not depend upon the nature of the material.
6. Assertion : A parallel plate capacitor is connected across battery through a key. A di-
HE
electric slab of constant K is introduced between the plates. The energy which
is stored becomes K times.
Reason : The surface density of charge on the plate remains constant or unchanged.
IS
8. Assertion : If a proton and an electron are placed in the same uniform electric field.
They experience different acceleration.
Reason : Electric force on a test charge is independent of its mass.
9. Assertion : Dielectric breakdown occrus under the influence of an intense light beam.
