Electrostatic
Electric Potential
Potential energy can be defined as the capacity for doing work which arises from position or configuration.
-
For example, if a positive charge Q is fixed at some point in space, any other positive charge which is brought close to it will experience a repulsive force and will therefore have potential energy.
-
Electric field
What is this?
It said to exist in a region of space in which an electric charge will experience an electric force.

-
Gauss's Law
This law states that the net number of electric field lines crossing any closed surface in a outwoard direction is numerically equal to the net total charge whithin that surface.
-
Coulomb's Law
This law states that
The force of attraction or repulsion between 2 point charges is directly proportional to the product of the 2 charges and inversely proportional to the separation of the 2 charges.
