Electrostatics (Concepts and Problems in Physics Book 9)

This text book is primarily intended for students who are preparing for the entrance tests of IIT-JEE/Physics Olympiads/NEET/AIIMS and other esteemed colleges in same fields. This text is equally useful to the students preparing for their school exams.This book thoroughly covers the chapters-1. Electric Charge and Field, 2.Electric Potential, 3. Capacitance and Dielectrics.Main Features of the Book-1. In this textual material even a trivial concept is substantialized in this way to make it lucid and easy to grasp. Every concept is given in student friendly language followed by a ladder of illustrations.2. Checkpoint questions, have been added to applicable sections of the text to allow students to pause and test their understanding of the concept explored within the current section. The solutions of check point questions are provided with unique problem solving approach and discussion at the end of the book, in “answer keys and solutions”, so that students can confirm their knowledge without jumping too quickly to provided answer.3. Special attention is given to all tricky topics (like- Coulomb’s law in a medium partially filled with a dielectric liquid, Vector form of Coulomb’s Law, Distribution of charges on metal surfaces, calculating electric field from electric potential and vice versa, Image method, Dielectric Breakdown, Mixed combinations of capacitors, Fringing field of a capacitor and Force on a dielectric slab due to fringing field of capacitor etc.) so that students can easily solve them with enjoyment.4. To further enhance students' understanding, in addition to checkpoint questions after each section, we provide conceptual questions, practice problems, and multiple-choice questions, including previous years' JEE Main and Advanced problems, at the end of the entire discussion. These questions serve as a comprehensive tool to deepen comprehension, challenging students with varying levels of difficulty denoted by the number of dots. Straightforward problems (basic level) are indicated by a single dot (●), intermediate problems are indicated by double dots (●●), whereas challenging problems (advanced level) are indicated by three dots (●●●). Answer keys with hints and solutions are provided at the end of the book. Read more
