First Law of electrostatic

First Law of electrostatic

1. Definiction

   • Electrostatics is a branch of physics that deals with the phenomena and properties of stationary or slow-moving electric charges
     • They come from
       • Electrostatic phenomena arise from the forces that electric charges exert on each other.

2. Without this

   • The electron, which is traveling at high speed, could not stay in its orbit.
     • They're called
       • The electrons that can move around within an object are said to be free electrons.
         • Bonus
           • The greater the number of these free electrons an object contains, the greater its negative electric charge
             • Thus
               • The electric charge can be used as a measure of electrons.

3. They are divided in two options

   • Opposites attract
     • This means
       • Bodies that have different signs attract each other. (Charged Bodies)
         • Characteristics
           • The electron has a negative charge, and the nucleus (due to the proton) has a positive charge
   • Equal poles repel
     • This means
       • Bodies that have the same sign and repel each other
         • Characteristics
           • Both electrons are negative or both are positive.

4. Bonus

   • Some atoms can lose electrons and others can gain electrons; thus, it is possible to transfer electrons from one object to another.
     • When this occurs
       • The equal distribution of negative and positive charges no longer exists.
         • One object will contain an excess of electrons and become negatively charged, and the other will become deficient in electrons and become positively charged.

5. Electrostatic Field

   • is
     • A special force is acting between the charged objects discussed above.
       • result of
         • Forces of this type are the result of an electrostatic field that exists around each charged particle or object.
           • can be illustrated with
             • lines called "lines of force"

6. Bonus

   • F = force of electrostatic attraction or prepulsion (Newtons)
     • K = constant of proportionality (Coulomb2/N-m2)
       • q1 = charge of first particle (Coulombs)
         • q2 = charge of second particle (Coulombs)
           • d = distance between two particles (Meters)
