What are Conductors?
admin Those substances which have the ability to carry charge from one place to another are called conductors. Silver is one of the best conductors. There are lots of examples of…
What are insulators and dielectrics?
Those materials which don’t allow the passage of electricity through them are known as insulators. We can call them as the poor conductors of electricity. Some of the common examples…
What is the behavior of conductors in electrostatic field?
Some of the basic properties of a conductor are shown below: 1. Total charge inside a conductor is zero. Let’s discuss this point clearly. If the net field in the…
What do you mean by Electrostatic Shielding
It is the best way to protect some area in vacuum from the influence of external electric field. As we have proved earlier that the electric field inside a conductor…
What is Electrical Capacitance?
Electrical conductance of a conductor is defined as the capacity to store charge in it. Whenever charge is applied to an insulator its potential is raised to some certain level.…
What is the principle of capacitor?
A small device used to store huge amount of electric charge in a small room is called capacitor. Take an insulated metal plate A. Charge the plate to its maximum…
What are parallel plate capacitors?
The mostly used capacitors are Parallel plate capacitors. There are two very small and thin conducting plates placed parallel to each other at a fine distance lets suppose it as…
What is Dielectric Constant?
It is also known as Relative permittivity. If two charges q 1 and q 2 are separated from each other by a small distance r. Then by using the coulombs…
Explain Spherical capacitors in detail with example?
Basically the spherical conductors consist of hollow spherical conductor plates having some radius, surrounded by any another sphere. In this case we have chosen two spheres to clarify its structure…
What will be the capacity of an isolated spherical conductor?
Consider a Spherical conductor . Mark its center as o and radius r.Give some positive charge say q to charge the conductor. When we will give the charge to the…
