Physics - Electrostatics Potential & Capacitance Handwritten Notes Class 12th CBSE BOARD
Here's an introduction to Electrostatics Potential and Capacitance for Class 12th: Electrostatic Potential Electrostatic potential, also known as electric potential, is the potential difference between two points in an electric field. It is a measure of the work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to another against the electric field. Key Points Definition : Electrostatic potential (V) is the work done (W) in moving a unit positive charge (q) from infinity to a point in an electric field. Unit: The unit of electrostatic potential is Volt (V). Formula : V = W/q Capacitance Capacitance is the ability of a conductor to store electric charge. It is a measure of the amount of charge that can be stored in a conductor for a given potential difference. Key Points Definition : Capacitance (C) is the ratio of the charge (Q) stored in a conductor to the potential difference (V) across it. Unit : The unit of capacitance is Farad (F). Formula : C = Q/V Types of Capacit...
