Lecture

Electrostatics: Capacitors and Fields

Description

This lecture covers the fundamentals of electrostatics, focusing on capacitors and electric fields. Topics include the behavior of charges between parallel metal plates, the creation of electric fields by infinitely long charged wires, and the concept of equipotential surfaces. The lecture also delves into the calculation of electric potential, work done by electric fields, and the relationship between electric potential and energy. Practical exercises involve determining equilibrium conditions for charges and analyzing electric fields in conductors.
