INTRODUCTION TO ELECTROSTATIC
In this modern world, electrostatic plays an important role in several fields. There are many laws related to electrostatic field, however, there are two fundamental laws, which is Coulomb’s Law and Gauss’s Law. Gauss’s Law can be used to derive Coulomb’s Law, and Coulomb’s Law is also can be used to derive Gauss’s Law.
Coulomb’s Law
Coulomb's law is a law of physics describing the electrostatic interaction between electrically charged particles. It was studied and first published in 1783 by French physicist Charles Augustin de Coulomb and was essential for the development of the theory of electromagnetism.
It deals with the force a point charge exerts on another point charge. A point charge means a charge that is located on a body whose dimensions are much smaller than other relevant dimensions. For example, a collection of electric charges on a pinhead can be regarded as a point charge. Charges are generally measured in coulombs(C). One coulomb is approximately

The charge is generated by corona wire, which is a fine wire with high voltage passing through it. When high voltage pass through a corona wire, it will ionizes air surrounding the wire, forming negative charge. These charge is then stick to the surface of the drum.
Step three – Laser Scanning Unit
After a layer of negative charge has been covered on the drum, the drum is then proceed into next step, which is laser scanning unit. In this process, laser beam is used to neutralize unwanted negative charge, leaving only those which are needed. This will form the required image on the drum, but in the form of negative charge. During this process, when the laser beam shines on the drum, it will cause the photoreceptor on the drum to behave like a conductor. This will neutralize the negative charge on the surface of the drum.
Step four –
Nagaoka rejected Thomson's model on the ground that opposite charges are impenetrable. He proposed an alternative model in which a positively charged center...
Electrostatic Precipitators, as the name suggests, works on the principle of Electrostatic Attraction. Every particle has or can be given a charge – positive or negative. Thus all the particles in the gas stream entering the electrostatic precipitator are imparted a negative charge and these particles, due to electrostatic attraction, migrate to the grounded collection plate and thus are collected. This dust layer is then removed from the plates from time-to-time by rapping or washing it with a water stream. So the complete process involves – Charging, collection and removal.
Further research is conducted to test the theory and the model. As advances in technology occur, more information can be obtained and so the theories and models can then be altered. If the model or theory seems to hold true in numerous areas of science, a scientific law is formed. These laws provide a greater level of understanding and explain why many things happen. An example of a law is Sir Isaac Newton’s law of Inertia.
The motor is turned on, the lower part begins turning its belt. The belt is made of rubber so it attracts more electricity than a regular belt would. The lower part builds to have a negative charge and the belt makes a positive charge. The reason this happens is because in the belt there is a silicon part that is built in the belt making it more negative than rubber, the lower part is taking electrons from the belt as it goes over the roller. Causing the electricity to go up into the sphere and flowing through it.
In a laboratory scientist will use a process called gel electrophoresis to separate DNA fragments. The DNA is cut into different sized fragments as a result from using restriction enzymes. The different sized DNA fragments are organized injected on agarose gel with an added substance that helps it glow after the test. DNA is negatively charged. Electricity is producing a positively charged are and a negatively charged area. Opposites attract and as a result the negatively charged DNA will move quickly to the positively charged area. Smaller DNA fragments will run faster the larger DNA fragments. After the electricity is turned off smaller DNA fragments will be closer to the positively charged area and the larger DNA fragments will be farther from the positively charged area. While it is glowing scientist can take a picture of the data and record the results and compare DNA samples to look for any abnormalities.
The electroscope itself will be neutral. When you bring a charged object close, the electrons will start to move around and change their positions. If a positively charged object is brought close to the knob of the electroscope, the electrons would want to be close to it and since positives and negatives attract each other, and will move to the top (knob) of the electroscope. This will leave a positive charge in the leaves of the electroscope. Since like charges repel, the two leaves will move apart. If the object is negatively charged, the electrons will move away from the object near the knob of the electroscope and will move to the leaves of the electroscope. The leaves are left with a negative charge, and so the leaves will repel and move apart.
The effects of electric force can be summarized as the law of electric charge: Pieces of matter with the same kind of charge repel each other. Pieces of matter with the same kind of charge attract each other. 2 objects with a positive charge repel each other, as do 2 objects with a negative charge.
The gravitational force of attraction between any two object or particles is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and is inversely or indirectly proportional to the square of the distance that exist between the particles. The direction of this force is along the line joining the two particles.
Carl Friedrich Gauss is revered as a very important man in the world of mathematicians. The discoveries he completed while he was alive contributed to many areas of mathematics like geometry, statistics, number theory, statistics, and more. Gauss was an extremely brilliant mathematician and that is precisely why he is remembered all through today. Although Gauss left many contributions in each of the aforementioned fields, two of his discoveries in the fields of mathematics and astronomy seem to have had the most tremendous effect on modern day mathematics.
This electric field pushes the charge carriers downwards. If the material is a conductor, the electric field pushes the free electrons downwards (negative y direction). As a result, a large number of charge carriers (free electrons) are accumulated at the bottom surface of the
Throughout Thomson’s life he made many contributions to science. These include discoveries in thermodynamics and the age of the Earth, as well as innovating the Transatlantic Cable and inventing a tide meter. After exploring thermodynamics for some time, he developed the second law of thermodynamics. This law states that there cannot be a reaction that is completely efficient; a portion of the energy is lost to heat in each reaction. It also says that heat flows to areas that...
Electric currents produce magnetic fields, they can be as small as macroscopic currents in wires, or microscopic currents in atomic orbits caused by electrons. The magnetic field B is described in terms of force on a moving charge in the Lorentz force law. The relationship of magnetic field and charges leads to many practical applications. Magnetic field sources are dipolar in nature, with a north and south magnetic pole. The magnetic field SI unit is the Tesla, it can be seen in the magnetic part of the Lorentz force law F magnetic = qvB composed of (Newton x second)/(Coulomb x meter). The smaller magnetic field unit is the
The electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is a machine used in factories, to clean out the waste solid particle, for example ash from the exhaust gas, allowing clean exhaust gas exit through the chimney. The electrostatic precipitator functions by using first allow the exhaust gas with the waste solid particles pass through the Nozzle as shown in the diagram below. Then the exhaust gas passes through inlet gas distribution, which evenly distributes the gas as shown below in a turquoise color, and starts going through the Discharge electrodes and the collector plates, which is shown in the diagram red and blue respectively. The discharge electrodes, which are powered by high voltage direct current, ionize the gas along with the other solid waste particles negatively. The collector plates are also charged with high voltage electricity, but it is positively charged, therefore attracting the negatively charged solid particle, because oppositely charged particles attract. This allows the clean exhaust gas pass through the other end, while the solid waste particles are trapped in the collector plates. Eventually when there are enough solid waste particles collected on the collector plates, the collect plates shakes off the collected waste, where it drops to the bottom of the shaft as shown in the diagram as “Hopper”.
Numerous factors influence electrical conductivity and resistance, two of them are temperature and length of the wire (these are external factors). Electrical conductivity is defined as the property used to describe how well materials allow electrons to flow, and the degree to which a specific material conducts electricity., Electrical conductivity is calculated as the ratio of the current density in the material to the electric field that causes the flow of current. The SI unit of electrical conductivity is Siemens per meter (S/m). Electrical conductivity is also commonly represented by the Greek letter σ (sigma), but κ (kappa) (especially in electrical engineering) or γ (gamma) are alsowhich are occasionally used. Electrical resistivity quantifies how strongly a specific material opposes the flow of electric current. Electrical resistivity is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ (rho). The SI unit of electrical resistivity is the ohm⋅metre (Ω⋅m) although other units like ohm⋅centimetre (Ω⋅cm) are also in use.
Faraday continued his electrical experiments. In 1832, he proved that the electricity induced from a magnet, voltaic electricity produced by a battery, and static electricity was all the same. He also did significant work in electrochemistry, stating the First and Second Laws of Electrolysis. This laid the basis for electrochemistry, another great modern industry.
